Intro: Shervin Shares recently posted a great workout video — NYC Day in the Life with the Google Pixel 8 Pro — and here’s our breakdown so you can replicate it. The full video has much more detail if you want to dive deeper.

Key Points:

• Zone-based and pace-based workouts run directly on your wrist using the Pixel Watch 2.
• Set up a Zone 2 run targeting roughly 136–140 bpm; your watch alerts you if your heart rate dips below that range.
• The watch logs your route and speed; in Shervin’s video, the run covered 1.36 miles in about 15 minutes.
• The watch can detect when you start biking or walking and prompt you to record a workout without needing your phone.
• Contactless payments on your watch let you buy a coffee or transit pass on the go.

Workout Example:

1. Launch the Workout app on your Pixel Watch 2 and pick Run – Zone 2, with your target heart rate around 136–140 bpm.
2. Begin running along the East Side Highway.
3. Keep your heart rate in the target zone; the watch buzzes to alert you if you slip below.
4. Go for roughly 1.4 miles at a comfortable, sustainable pace—you should be able to hold a conversation.
5. Finish the run, stop recording, and check your stats: distance covered, average pace, and heart rate.

Closing Note: Try a Zone 2 run today and feel free to tweak the heart rate band or mileage target to fit where you’re at right now. Enjoy the run and keep logging those miles!
