I Screwed Up My 5K Time by Training With the Pixel Watch 3's AI Running Coach

As Apple did several years ago, Google has caught on that running is one of the most accessible and nerdiest sports. Assuming you don't have mobility issues, all you need is a good pair of running shoes and a pair of shorts. It's easy to see improvement quickly, especially if you're just getting started. Among the new touted features for the Pixel Watch 3 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is holistic running guidance, under an umbrella Google calls Plan, Run, Reflect, found in the Fitbit app. You can build custom runs on the app on your Pixel phone or watch; get real-time interval guidance as you're running; look up your stats and advanced running analysis on a specialized running dashboard; and get daily AI-powered run recommendations.
