The Nike+ Run Club app on my iPhone has a feature called "My Coach" that customizes a running schedule based on my pace. I would like to do the runs with my Apple Watch but I can't figure out how to get it to work. When I click start on the phone it only works if I run with the phone. If I hit start on my watch it just registers a regular run and not the one in the customized plan.
I have the same issue. As far as I can tell, you cannot get "My Coach" to work on your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby. "Guided Runs" work on your Apple Watch alone if you download them beforehand.
I still watch to use the "My Coach" plans, so I use the following work-around:
1. Open the Nike+ Run Club App on your iPhone, go to the "My Coach" tab, and see what is scheduled for today
2. Start and complete a run using your Apple Watch (by itself) with the same settings as your scheduled run (i.e. distance, time, etc.)
3. When your run is complete, Open the Nike+ Run Club App on your iPhone again, go to the "History" tab, and select your recently completed run
The app will give you the option to "Assign this run to one of your planned activities:"
4. Select the scheduled run from your "My Coach" plan
"My Coach" will now recognize that you've completed a scheduled run and add it to your overview. I'm aware this isn't a 100% solution and that I'm losing some features, but it allows me to follow a "My Coach" workout plan (running with only my Apple Watch) and track my history on my iPhone.

Are you in Australia? I am located in Australia and have the same issue. It appears the guided audio runs are not available in Australia. Not in the iPhone update or on Apple Watch.
thanks so much, what about if the scheduled run is a "Benchmark" run.... I don't know how to do that on the watch without the iPhone.....
Do you know if this works in Australia now or have you heard, I am so sick of not getting all the features?
This is the only reason i bought the apple watch, they really need to add this functionality
I agree this fiction needs to be added to the I watch it would make me enjoy the watch even more.
