Creating a New Workout and Journal

Went for a run without your watch? Or used a device that doesn't sync to Apple Health? You can manually add the workout.

How to Add One

1. Tap the + icon and choose to create a new workout
2. Set the start date and time
3. Use the spinners to enter the duration
4. Enter the distance and tap the button

This creates a workout in Apple Health. From there, the process is exactly the same as creating a normal workout journal — you can add terrain, gear, notes, etc.

Good to Know

• The workout is actually saved to Apple Health, so it appears in all your health data
• You won't have heart rate or route data for manual entries (obviously!)
• Useful for treadmill runs or when you forgot to start your watch
