Forgot to add a workout

I did a turkey trot yesterday and forgot to start the workout on my Apple Watch when I began. How do I add a workout after the fact?

To manually add a workout (and its data):

  1. In the Health App on the iPhone, tap on the Health Data tab at the bottom
  2. Then tap Activity and scroll down to Workouts and tap on it
  3. In the the top right hand corner of the screen it says add data (or simply +)
  4. Tap on that and you can enter a new workout and its data
  5. When you are finished tap on add at the top right of the screen.

Be aware though that this only effects your 3 rings on the day in question. Also, I heard this may not work with watchOS 8.
