Watch + Apple Music

Whats the best way to start an outdoor run with Apple Music, is there an option to have this start automatically when AirPods are connected or do you have to manually start the music?

I can see an option to assign a playlist to a workout type but not one to go and get music streamed for example

I manually start the music, as I find it a bit finicky sometimes. So I start the music on my watch with the paired headphones, typically as I'm walking out the door. Then start the run. There may be a more efficient process but this seems to be the most reliable.

Thanks, was hoping there would be some setting which would allow you to set an Apple Music request against a work out type - like play running music for an outdoor run which would then start a stream of appropriate music.

Some shortcuts might do that.

Great idea. 👍 This is the way the integration should work. Apple has dropped a ball here.
