Apple watch update5/15/2023 ![]() But in reality, it’s a pretty massive shift for trail runners, or anyone else on steep terrain where the Apple Watch would previously fail to measure running power. The running power change might sound minimal to non-runners, or even to road-runners, or those just thinking about interval-type scenarios. In addition, while not actually part of 9.4, note that Apple also concurrently rolled out Running Track mode support for a number of additional countries. ![]() In total, there are basically three running-specific changes made in this version and the version prior:ġ) Running power now includes “walking” periods (in the Outdoor Run profile specifically)Ģ) Running track mode will now ‘snap’ to 100m sections if within 5m of that point (just like Wahoo RIVAL does)ģ) Running track mode now shows a new summary at end of the workout with per-loop times (in 9.3) Apple has confirmed these changes are planned. This change is part of a handful of other changes being made as part of the most recent Apple WatchOS software, currently in public beta as 9.4, which will likely release in the very near future. Apple has quietly made a pretty substantial change to how and when running power is calculated in the Apple Watch, which will impact ultra and trail runners the most.
