Pick the time your daily reminder arrives. Open Settings, then Schedule, and set it for when you actually lace up, whether that is before sunrise or after dinner. New to running? Your plan now starts from where you really are. Beginner paces are no longer pushed up to a minimum that was too fast, so easy runs feel easy from the first week. Your music keeps playing. Voice cues on your phone and your watch dip the volume for a moment and hand it right back, even after a phone call. Lace up and enjoy the run.
