As mentioned, users can also create a multi-sport workout from scratch. If you don’t want to record an entire marathon, it’s easy to create and save custom workouts. Choose a unique set of activities, and customize exercise views, goals, and more. Multisport workouts can include any combination of the following activities:
- jogging outdoors
- outdoor cycle
- Swimming in the open water
- indoor operation
- internal cycle
- Swimming in the pool
Apple Watch users can create custom multi or triathlon workouts with just a few taps, right on their device.
- open the workout app and go to multi sports.
- Click on More icon (Three points).
- Scroll down and tap Create an exercise.
- Faucet Addthen press the first Activity want to include.
- Repeat for each activity you want to include.
- Once added, click each one Activity To customize workout views and alerts or to rearrange your workout legs.
- Faucet without an address Under Custom Title, enter a name for the exercise.
- Faucet Create an exercise.
One of the weird things about this customization is that you can’t create an exercise with consecutive indoor and outdoor versions of the same activity. For example, you could create the workout of Running Outdoor, Cycling Outdoor, Running Indoor, But Not Running Outdoor, Indoor Running, and Outdoor Cycle. Likewise, you can’t add an outdoor cycle right after an indoor cycle, or swim in the pool right after an open water swim.
