Step 13: Enter the actual distance you covered during the workout using a known measurement, such as a GPS-based app or a measured track.

Step 14: Confirm the calibration by tapping "Done."

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Apple Watch accurately tracks your fitness activities, providing you with valuable data to monitor your progress and achieve your fitness goals.
