I switch between walking and running. How should this be logged? Is it accurate?

Hi all,


I have been lightly training for a 5k road race (peanuts to most I'm sure) and wanted to keep accurate track of both my walking and running so I can see my gains. How does anyone else do this? If I select "Other" for a workout, is that not going to group the walk/run together. I'm confused and would like to use the Apple Watch's native app.


Much thanks!

Apple Watch Series 3, iOS 11.0.3

Hello,

Selecting Other will group your walk and run workouts together. You can use the Outdoor Run workout, and then quickly switch to Outdoor walk. This will seperate the workouts, and provide you with a map of your route.

“Perform a multi-activity workout. Begin your first workout—an outdoor run, for example. When you’re ready to start a different activity—like an outdoor bike ride—swipe right, tap , then choose the workout. When you finish all your activities, swipe right, then tap End. Turn the Digital Crown to scroll through the results summary. Scroll to the bottom and tap Done to save the workout.”
