Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature here:
Meanwhile, you may want to run another app on your phone. I use Wahoo Fitness, because, along with a TickrX, it tracks things the Apple Watch doesn't, and because it allows me to export the information to almost anywhere.

May 22, 2015 3:54 PM in response to Meg St._Clairby plinck,Thanks. I find that pretty lame - that workout app is about as minimal as it gets. I will provide feedback to apple as it is close to useless the way it is. I have most of those other apps - wahoo, strava, mapmyrun etc. but I normally don't use them since I don't always carry my phone (e.g. while swimming) and the Garmin watches work much better. I did the run to test if the apple watch was going to be any good for swim/bike/run workouts compared to say a Garmin 920xt which is what I currently use. I knew it wouldn't work for swimming since it is not waterproof (lame), but figured if I didn't want to change watches to my garmin I could at least use it for running. Sadly, it isn't even close. For the short an medium, I will stick with Garmin for real workouts and relegate the apple watch to a daily smart watch and activity tracking. Wont be using for workouts.

May 22, 2015 4:09 PM in response to plinckby Meg St._Clair,Having used both my phone and a variety of Garmin watches (most recently the 620) for years, I know that the phone GPS is not nearly as accurate as the dedicated running watch. If I were training for anything serious, I'd use the Garmin. I know that I didn't buy the watch primarily as a running watch. As I want the GPS, I know I'm going to have the phone with me anyway so running another app at the same time is no particular bother for me.
It's a first generation product. It is certainly not without its weaknesses. Submit feedback. Hope for the best.
