Watches for running and multisports regularly has a button of “Lap” to divide your workouts into segments, whether they are laps of a track, intervals of 20 minutes on a bike or rounds of a bodyweight circuit. Here's how to use the same feature on an Apple Watch and why you should.
How to mark a “Lap” in the training app
While tracking a workout with the Workout app on your Apple Watch, double tap the screen to mark a segment. A summary will appear and you can keep sweating, marking segments and laps as needed.
Note: Things are a little different with swimming workouts, since the screen locks automatically. In swimming pool training, your watch records the number of lengths you make (depending on the length of the pool entering at the beginning); It will also automatically divide your training into series based on each time you stop at the edge of the pool for more than ten seconds.. There is no way to add segments to an open water swim workout.
How to see your laps (and other segments)
To see the divisions of your segments, once i finished, open the app “Fitness” on your iPhone and select your workout. Touch “Segments” and you will see a numbered list and all the statistics that accompany it.
Why Segments Matter
Average workout statistics, such as running pace and cycling speed, and individual mile splits aren't of much use unless you're just doing slow steady-state training (O, I suppose, mile increment repeats). As an example, if you warm up for a mile, run hard for a mile and a half, then a half mile cooldown, what matters most is between the mile 2 and the mile 3.5, but neither average running speed nor mile divisions. in the Fitness app it will tell you how fast you did it.
Despite this, if you use the lap function on your watch, can run half a mile hot, double tap to hit the lap, run hard for a mile and a half, tap twice to return to lap and then cool . After, when you watch the workout in the Fitness app on your iPhone, will be divided into three segments: your warm up, your training and your cool down.
And you can not only track running and cycling. If you are doing any high intensity interval training or CrossFit style circuits, can mark each round.
