No, it won't.


The option I have described is for manually switching between workout types as and when you wish to do so.


You may find that a third-party interval timer app for Apple Watch is better suited for your needs.


Apps that you may wish to consider include, for example:


Intervals - Workout Interval Timer on the App Store

  • "Apple Watch - The most advanced Interval timer for the Apple Watch"


Runmeter Running & Cycling GPS on the App Store

Hi


No, the Workout app does not include a specific run walk run feature.


However, you can record a run walk run workout by starting with an Outdoor Run / Indoor Run and then switching activity types first to Walk and then back to Run again, without ending the session until you have finished the final element.


Once your current workout has been in progress for long enough to be ended and saved as a completed workout (a couple of minutes or so), swipe from left to right across screen within the Workout app and tap on the "+" button to switch to a new workout activity type.

You may also find that a third-party fitness tracking app offers features that meet your needs. To browse and search for apps with the results pre-filtered to include only those iPhone apps that also include an app for Apple Watch, use the Watch app on your iPhone. Apps can be searched by keyword or app name via the Search tab.

So if I do what you described, on my next workout will the Apple Watch beep and/or vibrate to tell me when to walk or run. I am a triathlete and runner. I currently have a Garmin 910XT set to beep and vibrate for my run walk runs...run for 6 min beep walk for 1 min beep run for 6 min and so on for me entire run/marathon. I am considering changing out my 910XT for an Apple Watch Series 3. This is a critical feature for my training.
