Pace alerts should apply to custom workouts

Hi — I run with the Workout app on my Apple Watch Ultra 4. When I build a custom workout (intervals or repeating 1 km segments with target paces), the pace alerts on the watch do not apply to custom workouts — the settings screen even says so explicitly.


That means there's no way to get pace alerts inside a structured custom workout, for example a buzz whenever my pace drifts outside the target range on a given interval. The only pace alert is a single whole-run one.


Has anyone found a way to get per-interval or periodic pace alerts in a custom workout? Otherwise this is a feature request to Apple: let each interval/step carry a pace target and alert, or let alerts repeat periodically within a workout. For any structured pace-based training I currently have to use a third-party app (WorkOutDoors) instead of the native Workout app.

The native Apple Watch Workout app does not support per-interval or custom-step pace alerts inside structured custom workouts.
