Why was the single metric workout view removed with the update to OS 8?

I updated to OS 8 for my Apple Watch and found that the single metric workout view is not longer an option. Please bring this back. I don't run with my glasses on and with the single metric I was able to read the distance, but now that the app requires at least two metrics neither is large enough to read. I don't understand why it would be taken away in the first place.
