Answered by Phillip Nicastro

To change your running settings on your Apple Watch, you can customize the metrics that are displayed during your workout. This allows you to track the specific data that is most important to you while running. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Start by opening the Workout app on your Apple Watch. You can do this by tapping on the app icon from your watch’s home screen.

2. Once you’re in the Workout app, you’ll see a list of different workout types. Scroll through the list and select the running option.

3. After selecting running, you’ll be taken to a screen that allows you to customize your workout configuration. On this screen, tap the “More” button located at the bottom right corner of the display.

4. This will bring up a menu with various options. From this menu, tap the “Edit” button next to the goal or workout configuration that you want to modify.

5. Next, you’ll be presented with a list of different workout views. These are the metrics that are displayed on your Apple Watch during your run. Tap on the “Workout Views” option.

6. On the Workout Views screen, you’ll see a list of the metrics that are currently included in your workout view. To add a new metric, tap the “Edit Views” button.

7. Now, you’ll be able to choose which metrics you want to include in your workout view. Tap on the “Include” button next to the metric that you want to add.

8. After selecting the metrics that you want to include, you can rearrange their order by tapping and holding on the three horizontal lines next to each metric, and then dragging it to the desired position.

9. If you want to remove a metric from your workout view, tap the red “-” button next to the metric you want to remove.

10. Once you’ve made all the desired changes, tap the “Done” button to save your new workout view configuration.

By following these steps, you can easily customize the running settings on your Apple Watch to track the metrics that matter most to you during your workouts. Whether you prefer to monitor your pace, distance, heart rate, or any other metric, the ability to customize your workout views allows you to tailor your running experience to your specific needs.
