It\u2019s already a popular feature on watches from competitors likes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garmin.com\/en-US\/garmin-technology\/running-science\/physiological-measurements\/training-load\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1641547318\">Garmin<\/a>. You don&#8217;t have to wait for watchOS 11 if you want to try it out. It\u2019s already available for Apple Watch users via third party apps such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bevel.health\" data-lasso-id=\"1641547319\">Bevel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.athlyticapp.com\" data-lasso-id=\"1641547320\">Athlytics<\/a>. Apple will now be giving these apps a run for their money.<\/p>\n<p>Third-party app developer St\u00e9phane Lizeray has already introduced detailed training load charts in his excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/gb\/app\/healthfit\/id1202650514\" data-lasso-id=\"1641547321\">HealthFit<\/a> app, based on a scientific paper published in 1991 called \u201cModeling Elite Athletic Performance\u201d by E.W. Bannister. This introduced the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingimpulse.com\/banisters-trimp-0\" data-lasso-id=\"1641547322\">training impulse<\/a>\u201d model, sometimes called TRIMP. Lizeray says it\u2019s the \u201conly published scientific paper\u201d on the subject and speculates this is likely to be the starting point for Apple\u2019s training load feature too. Although Apple claims it uses \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2024\/06\/watchos-11-brings-powerful-health-and-fitness-insights\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1641547405\">an innovative new algorithm<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>More workout maps, hiking topography and directions<\/h3>\n<p>New downloadable topographic maps with turn-by-turn directions for hikers could provide an alternative to popular third-party outdoor workout apps such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workoutdoors.net\" data-lasso-id=\"1641547323\">WorkOutDoors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Distance and route maps now come to more workout types, including rowing. Pool Swims gain support for custom workouts. And the Workout app will also enable you to check in with friends, so they know when you\u2019re going out for a run, and can make sure you get back safely.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"29\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_29\" class=\"wp-caption post-body-image alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-859160 size-full\" title=\"Pause rings\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pause-rings-1.jpg\" alt=\"The new pause Activity Rings feature in watchOS 11\" width=\"2564\" height=\"1452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pause-rings-1.jpg 2564w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pause-rings-1-400x227.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pause-rings-1-1440x815.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pause-rings-1-1536x870.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pause-rings-1-2048x1160.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pause-rings-1-350x198.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pause-rings-1-400x227@2x.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2564px) 100vw, 2564px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_29\" class=\"wp-caption-text\" style=\"border-color: #2470a3;\">The new Pause Activity Rings feature lets you take a break when you&#8217;re sick.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Activity Rings finally add much-requested features<\/h3>\n<p>The redesigned Fitness app introduces features long-time ring fans have been requesting for years. Most notably, you finally have the option to pause your Activity Rings when you\u2019re sick, so when you\u2019re battling a nasty cold, at least you don&#8217;t have to worry about losing your streak. A similar feature is already included in <a href=\"https:\/\/gentler.app\" data-lasso-id=\"1641547406\">Gentler Streak<\/a>, a third-party workout app that <a href=\"https:\/\/gentler.app\" data-lasso-id=\"1641547407\">won an Apple Design Award this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can also now set different goals for different days of the week. Which is great, because it recognizes the reality that we\u2019re not all robots that do exactly the same workout every day, and most workout routines have rest days built in.
