Apple Watch Learns About Your Stride, Can Be Use to Track Runs Without the iPhone

Christy Turlington Burns reveals that after running a few times with both your iPhone and Apple Watch, the watch learns about your stride and can be used to track runs without the iPhone.

Turlington Burns is writing a series of blog posts for Apple about using the watch to train for the Virgin Money London Marathon.

After you run with Apple Watch and your iPhone a few times, the Workout app knows more about your stride. So you can run on a treadmill or outside without your phone and still get a really accurate workout summary. By midweek I had to get a long run in, but even 14 miles was challenging in one shot. So instead of one long run, I broke it into two 7-mile runs (morning and evening). In the morning, I ran the first 3 miles outdoors and the next 4 miles indoors.


Notably, Turlington Burns also shares a picture of her installing a new band on the Apple Watch. "Went for the pink band. Wanted something more fun for the Caribbean."
