Yes, with some caveats based on your power meter and the Which Watch? criteria.

Stryd’s Workout app is your best choice – it’s fully compatible with the Apple Watch Ultra, SE or series 3 or later. The Stryd Workout app:
⌚ Automatically downloads workouts planned in the Stryd Ecosystem
⌚ Can show various power numbers while running
⌚ Records power (second-by-second) into your workout file
⌚ Automatically uploads completed runs into the Stryd Ecosystem
⚡ Supports Structured Workouts
⚡ Provides 3s, 10s, and 30s Power Smoothing
⚡ Provides current and last Lap Averages.

The Apple Workout app isn’t the best choice for Running with Power, as it doesn’t:
❌ record second-by-second data into your workout file
❌ display lap power
❌ offer power smoothing
❌ upload completed workouts into a power-based reviewing app
Instead, I’d recommend the WorkOutDoors app, which:
⌚ Downloads workouts planned in the IOS WorkOutDoors app
⌚ Can show real-time and lap power numbers while running
⌚ Records power (second-by-second) into your workout file
⚡ Supports Structured Workouts
Unfortunately, WorkOutDoors doesn’t:
❌ Automatically upload into a power-based reviewing app
❌ Offer Power Smoothing
❌ Provide last Lap Average
In other words, there isn’t an app that meets all the criteria when using Wrist-based power. But my preference was second-by-second data and lap power – both essential for running and reviewing intervals.
For me, WorkOutDoors was a better fit than the Apple Workout app.
