Nike Run Club question. 🙋

[goldmac2006]

Hey there, Apple Watch fans! 👋🏻

So, my Apple Fitness+ subscription is currently on hold because I can’t seem to get a new trial code that works. I’m waiting on AppleCare to respond.

I’m going to have to switch over to some third-party apps to keep up with my workouts. I’m thinking of trying out Nike Run Club and Nike Training Club, which are both free. Plus, I’m planning to keep up with my bodyweight strength, core, yoga and Pilates classes using the Headspace app, which I snagged a lifetime license for from a mental health organisation for young people.

I was wondering, since Nike Run Club also tracks runs from your iPhone, do you think it automatically pauses if you stop running or start walking? I’m wearing an Apple Watch, and I’ll still be carrying my iPhone, but I usually do most of my runs and walks on the treadmill when it gets chilly and rainy. Will it pause if I leave my iPhone in my pocket while running, or do they detect that from the Apple Watch?

Also, can you play music from apps other than Apple Music and Spotify on Nike Run Club and still hear the guided runs and walks? I’m using a third-party app called Musicana on my iPhone 15 Pro, which is kind of like the old Musi. Cheers! 👋🏻

You know you don't have to pay for Apple Fitness+ for recording workouts, right? It's just for instructional videos. Or did I misunderstand what the point of those other apps are?

These are guided workout videos.

Nike Training Club is the same thing. Nike Run Club is for running but audio runs like fitness+ time to run.

Have given Nike run club a try yesterday morning, the audio runs use my Apple Watch for tracking my runs primarily. So at least I can leave my iPhone on the table or in another room charging when I run with Nike Run Club on the treadmill.

It’s all good now.
