Export a session to my Apple Watch

Everything now happens in the Workout app, installed on all Apple Watches. Here are the steps to get your workouts into the Workout app:


📱 Perform updates on the iPhone (to be done just once) :


Steps 1 to 3 are not necessary if you already have recent updates. The export is compatible with iOS 17 and above, and with watchOS 10 and above.


  1. Update your iPhone to iOS 17 or above: iPhone Settings > General > Software Update > Download and Install the latest available version, iOS 17 or above
  2. Update your Apple Watch to watchOS 10 or above: open the Watch app > General > Software Update > Download and Install the latest version available, watchOS 10 or above
  3. Update your RunMotion Coach app and download the latest version available from the App Store


✅ Grant authorization in the RunMotion app :


In your RunMotion Coach app, go to your profile (1️⃣), access your plan settings via the “Mon RunMotion” tab (2️⃣) and tap on the entry point “Exporter le plan d’entrainement” (3️⃣).

Find “Apple Watch – Workout” (4️⃣) in the list and click on “Connect”.


Don’t forget to grant all permissions so it works (6️⃣ and 7️⃣)!


That’s it! Your app is now connected to your watch. No reason to miss your workout!

8️⃣ and 9️⃣ : At any time, from your profile you can check and revoke the permissions given for exporting your sessions.


🔟 : You may get this message if your watch is not properly paired with your iPhone or in case of incompatibility for session export.

11 : This message appears when RunMotion previously had permissions, but they were manually disabled. The next section might interest you!


Verify that the authorization has been granted :


Not sure if the connection was made? If you go back to “Mon RunMotion”, Apple Watch – Workout will have been added to the list under the entry point “Exporter le plan d’entrainement” (3️⃣).

Furthermore, if you go further, the “Connect” button will no longer be available but instead “Disconnect” (5️⃣)!


You can also verify that permission was granted by going into the iPhone Watch app > Workout > Connected Apps (at the very bottom) > RunMotion > the toggle should be active (green). If the “Connected Apps” toggle is not available, you will need to grant permission again (previous steps). To remove the permission, you can disable the toggle (turn it grey) at any time.



🎧 Configure audio feedback :


You can also receive audio feedback tied to key alerts. To enable or disable audio feedback, open the Settings app on your Apple Watch > Workout > Audio Feedback.

Finally, to choose the voice of the vocal coach for alerts, it’s the same as for Siri — you can change it on your iPhone via Settings > Siri & Search > Siri Voice.


🎯 Choose my training target for export :


Via the “Exporter le plan d’entrainement” menu, you can also choose settings for the export: follow a target for pace or heart rate (power target is not yet supported by Apple), and whether you want a free warm‑up duration.

More details here : Export : Choisir la zone cible en vitesse, frĂŠquence cardiaque ou puissance pour les alertes


📱 🔁 ⌚️ Whenever you want to export your planned session :


In your RunMotion Coach app, you can export a full week or a specific session from your training plan.

  • Export a full week : go to your plan (1️⃣) and tap the Watch icon (2️⃣)!
  • Export a specific session : directly in the session you’re interested in, click on the Exporter link.

A message lets you know when everything is good!


⌚️ On the Apple Watch, when you want to do your session


  1. Open your Workout app, and choose the RunMotion session you just imported.

By tapping the …, you can view the session details, and under Learn More you can also find the imported sessions scheduled in the past 7 days and the next 7 days. If you want to do another session instead of today’s, tap it and at the bottom after the description > Start Workout.

  1. Enjoy your session!


Sometimes, if you tap by accident on your Apple Watch, it may jump to the next step, ending for example the warm‑up. One solution is to enable Theater Mode as indicated in Apple’s help “Avoid accidental screen taps” : https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/guide/watch/apde0be691be/watchos


Once you’re back, the summary of the session you just completed is available on your iPhone by opening the Fitness app. You’ll find in your Fitness app all the session details: pace, heart rate, ground contact time, stride frequency, vertical oscillation, power…


🚨 Your export no longer works ?


It happens that export stops working. The reasons can be varied.

Start by removing and re‑granting the Apple Watch permission in your RunMotion Coach app.

If that’s not enough, since the latest iOS update, there is a trick:

  • On your Apple Watch, go to Settings > Workout > Connected Apps
  • Uncheck RunMotion… And recheck it!


Enjoy your session!
