How to create custom running workouts on the Google Pixel Watch 3
The Google Pixel Watch 3 is the best Android smartwatch to buy right now and for good reason. It looks great, offers slick software, and makes the most of its Fitbit-powered health and fitness features to make it a pretty complete package.
If you're a runner, Google's latest smartwatch has you well catered for, and that includes the ability to build custom running workouts. You might already know this as interval training, but if not, this is the type of running session made up of sections of low-intensity and high-intensity running. This type of session can offer benefits for your running pace and running endurance.
If you're keen to give interval running a go and like the idea of your Pixel Watch guiding you through how to do it while you keep an eye on your progress, you can do this on both the watch and inside the Fitbit app.
We'll show you how to do both, whether you like the idea of creating workouts on a bigger screen or you like the convenience of doing it right on the watch.
If you're finding it a bit fiddly to build those workouts on the watch, you do have the option to build them on the Fitbit app. You can then sync them to the watch where you'll be able to select it from the run tracking screen when you're ready to do it.
The first important part is that you'll need to download the Fitbit app first, which hopefully you've done already with the initial setup of your watch. Connecting your Pixel Watch 3 to the Fitbit app will enable you to get the most out of the onboard health and fitness features.
Once you've got that Fitbit app and you're all logged in, here's what you need to do:
Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
To locate it, open up the run tracking option in the Fitbit Exercise app, tap that icon with the stack of squares and you should see your created workout in the next screen.
Tap to select and you'll see your workout displayed to give you a look at what you're about to tackle.
