on your Apple Watch.Tap Outdoor Run.
If your Apple Watch detects that you’re at a track, you’re prompted to choose a lane.
Tap Choose Lane, use the plus or minus button to choose a lane, then tap Confirm.
Note: If you change lanes while you’re working out, swipe right on the watch face, tap Lane, then enter your new lane.
If this is the first time you’ve performed a Track workout, choose a measurement unit (Miles or Meters), then tap Confirm.
To change the measurement unit later, open the Settings app
, go to Workout > Units of Measure, then choose a unit below Track Workouts.
If you leave a track during your workout, your Apple Watch displays an alert telling you so. Similarly, if you arrive at a track during an Outdoor Run workout, you’ll be prompted to choose your lane.
