Raymond Braun Instagram – Running with @apple @applefitness to kick off LA Marathon week!
Apple organized an inspiring event bringing together Run Club Captains and leaders dedicated to community and inclusion in our sport. This was a full circle experience. I started my own endurance sports journey doing workouts in my living room during quarantine in 2020 with Apple Fitness . It was meaningful to directly thank the team, and share how they have empowered me during my journey.
I’ve been using Apple products since my very first run. Here are some of my favorite features:
✅ Pacer: This is literally game changing. You choose a distance, then a target finish time, and this training experience provides the required pace you need to sustain to achieve it. During your run, the pace alerts help you meet your goal.
✅ Sharing Activity Rings Milestones: You can share your Fitness data with friends, including alerts when you finish workouts. You can also compete with your friends to close your activity rings….my sister and I get very competitive with this one. 😈 They also offer digital medals and coins for workout streaks and key milestones. I was excited to collect my first marathon and ultramarathon coins.
✅ Running Metrics including Vertical Oscillation, Stride Length, Ground Contact Time, Power. These can be shared with a coach, trainer, or physical therapist to assess your form, injury prevention, and optimize your stride.
✅ Haptics and Voice Feedback: During your run, these alerts will guide you to hit your time and distance goals; and inform you when to switch between work and recovery.
✅ Automatic track detection: Apple Watch detects when you arrive at an outdoor track, and uses both Apple Maps data and GPS to provide the most accurate distance, pace and route map. It can even detect your lane!
✅ Race Route: Routes that you repeat often will be reflected in the Workout app for you to race against your last or best result. You’ll receive alerts for being ahead, behind, or off route.
🍏 P.S. You know I am a fruit plate connoisseur…Apple wins for the most beautiful spread I’ve ever seen. Very on brand with their immaculate visuals!
