"One of the most useful new features on the Galaxy Watch 8 is Samsung's Running Coach. Running Coach aims to help you train for your next race -- whether that's your first 5K or tenth marathon. It uses AI to calculate metrics like strain, pace, and recovery to improve your running abilities and get you across that finish line. Running Coach asked me the following ahead of my run."
"Before the run, Samsung Health asked me questions about my height, weight, and experience, including the longest distance I've run and my respective time to completion. It told me to find a flat course that won't slow me down, get enough rest the day before my test, fuel up with a light meal and plenty of fluids, and get a light jog in before I initiate the test,"
"Then, I record a run for 12 minutes and rate my exertion shortly afterwards. It rates my abilities out of ten (I got a 3) and then comes up with a plan to meet my next exercise milestone, which was running a 5K in less than 35 minutes and running a 10K in less than an hour and ten minutes."
The Galaxy Watch 8 includes an AI-driven Running Coach that calculates metrics such as strain, pace, and recovery to improve running performance. The Running Coach collects user data like height, weight, experience, longest distance, and recent times, then provides practical pre-run guidance including course selection, rest, nutrition, and a warmup. The feature evaluates a recorded run (example: a 12-minute test), asks for perceived exertion, rates abilities on a ten-point scale, and generates a training plan targeting milestones like a sub-35-minute 5K and a sub-1:10 10K. Additional sleep and stress tracking supplement fitness recommendations. The watch is currently discounted by $100 for Cyber Monday.
