Workout Writer: Run & Ride

Type a running or cycling workout in plain English, then send the structured session to Apple Watch, Garmin Connect or Intervals.icu.

Got a session from a coach, club, training plan or group chat? Instead of rebuilding every warmup, interval, recovery and target in a watch app, paste it into Workout Writer - or type your own. The structured workout forms as you write, ready to send to your watch.

For example:

10 min easy
6 x 800m at threshold, 90 sec easy
2 km cool down

Workout Writer turns that into a watch-ready session in seconds.

What you can do:

• Write workouts naturally
Create structured running and cycling sessions from plain text. Warmups, intervals, repeats, recoveries and cooldowns take shape as you type.

• Set your targets
Use pace, heart rate, power or cadence, plus reusable effort tags such as Easy, Tempo and Threshold.

• Send to Apple Watch, Garmin Connect or Intervals.icu
Schedule a workout for a specific date or keep it ready to use whenever you need it. Intervals.icu can sync workouts onward to Garmin Connect, COROS, Suunto, Wahoo and Zwift.

• Plan your training
See upcoming sessions in Schedule and check the weather before heading out.

• Reuse and share workouts
Edit saved sessions and share them by link, QR code, image or text. Perfect for sending an interval workout to your run club, sharing a coach's session, or giving training partners the same structure with effort tags that adapt to each athlete.

• Use Apple Shortcuts
Create and schedule workouts from text, list saved workouts and tags, or check what is planned for a day.

• Work with compatible AI agents on Mac
Use the new MCP and CLI integration to connect compatible AI agents to Workout Writer on macOS.

• Generate workout ideas
Use Workout Writer AI when you want a starting point for a run or ride, then edit the generated session before sending it to your watch.

Use Workout Writer for interval running, marathon training sessions, 5K and 10K workouts, half marathon sessions, tempo runs, threshold workouts, cycling power sessions, coach-written workouts, club training and any structured workout you want ready for Apple Watch or Garmin Connect.
