## What is Workout Writer?

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

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 or Garmin Connect
Schedule a workout for a specific date or keep it ready to use whenever you need it.

• 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.

• 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.

Workout Writer is for runners, cyclists, coaches and clubs who want to spend less time building workouts and more time training.

Built by an endurance athlete, for real training. Workout Writer is free to download, with optional Premium subscriptions and a lifetime purchase.

### 5/5 — Off to a great start

*2026-05-14*

Really liking this app so far. I mostly wanted something simple for creating my own run workouts without digging through a million menus, and this does that really well. You can just type workouts out normally and it figures it out. Sending them to the Apple Watch is easy too. Clean app, works well, no complaints.

**Developer response:** Hi Adam. Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm really glad to hear that you're enjoying Workout Writer. We're constantly improving the app, so please let us know if you ever have any questions or feature requests. Best of luck with your training!
