Apple Fitness+ Introducing New ‘Time to Run’ And ‘Collections’

Apple Fitness+ introduced two new features on January 10 – ‘Time to Run’ and ‘Collections.’ A new season of ‘Time to Walk’ also became available to subscribers that same day.
‘Time to Run’ Coming to Apple Fitness+
Was running and getting fit one of your new year’s resolutions. Yeah. Me too. Well, Apple Fitness+ is introducing ‘Time to Run’, further removing excuses not to pull on your sneakers and get out there! The new feature has episodes focussing on popular and iconic running routes in locations such as London, Brooklyn, and Miami Beach – the basis of the three launch episodes, out Monday.
‘Time to Run’ includes coaching tips from Apple Fitnes+ trainers, including new running trainer Cory Wharton-Malcolm. There are also motivational, energizing, curated playlists, that are relevant to the location of the episodes. The Miami Beach episode playlist contains Matin music, for instance.
