I'm using watchOS 9 beta 2 and I'm not getting the new running metrics in my workout app.

Using HKLiveWorkoutDataSource attached to a HKWorkoutBuilder
ActivityType is running
Tried enabling the collection of the new metrics

According to Jorge M in the WWDC labs:

"Yes, the new running metrics are also available for 3rd party applications. If you are using an HKLiveWorkoutDataSource attached to a HKWorkoutBuilder in your application, the new metrics would be collected by default."

The Health app does not show any Related Samples for these types. Am I doing something wrong or are they not available yet to 3rd party workouts? I do see them for the Apple Workout app.

The metrics are collected for outdoor (and not indoor) running workouts and only on SE/Series 6 or later. If you're trying that config and it's not working, please file a feedback at feedback.apple.com with a sample project.

@jbailey Did you manage to get this working on WatchOS9? We've just been testing and can't get any runningSpeed metrics when running on Series 4 and Series 7
