Running with Runna + Apple Workout, but need Audio TBT Navigation: WorkOutDoors vs Footpath? Can WOD do this without duplicating workouts?

Hey everyone,
I’m facing a specific workflow dilemma on my Apple Watch Ultra and I need your expertise to choose between WorkOutDoors (WOD) and Footpath Elite.

My Current Setup & Problem:

• I train with Runna, which automatically exports my structured interval workouts directly into the native Apple Workout app.

• I absolutely want to keep using Apple Workout/Runna for my runs to log my pace, intervals, and heart rate data correctly.

• The Catch: I need map navigation with Audio Cues / Voice Turn-by-Turn alerts in my headphones because I hate looking at my wrist at every intersection.

The Footpath Solution (from what I understand):

Footpath Elite seems to have a built-in feature specifically for this: "Use with another workout app". It acts like a background car GPS. It provides audio turn-by-turn alerts and notifications on top of Apple Workout without recording duplicate fitness data (no double calories, no extra workout saved in Apple Health).

My Questions about WorkOutDoors (WOD):

I already know WOD is the absolute king of maps, but can it replicate this background workflow?

  1. If I use WOD in "Map Only" mode (without pressing Start to record a workout), will I still get Audio Cues / Voice Alerts for my route directions while Apple Workout runs in the foreground? Or does the voice engine only work when a workout is actively being recorded in WOD?

  2. If WOD does require launching a live workout session to give audio cues, wouldn't watchOS automatically kill/override my native Apple Workout session?

  3. For those who used Footpath in the background while running a native workout, how is the battery drain on the Ultra?

Basically, I want WOD/Footpath to handle my ears and the map, while Apple Workout handles my fitness data and Runna intervals.
Which app is the best tool for this specific job? Thanks for your help!

J’ai l’Apple Watch ultra 3 et j’ai pris une Fenix 8 47mm pour la remplacer
Vous en pensez quoi en terme d’apparence sur mon poignet ? Et en comparaison avec l’Apple Watch ultra 3 ?

J’ai pu essayer une Garmin Fenix 47mm en magasin (mais pas la 51mm)

Voici en photo le rendu sur mon poignet (qui de mémoire fait 17 cm de circonférence environ)

Et votre avis, avec l’avant bras que j’ai ainsi que mon poignet, le modèle en 51mm pourrait être une option envisageable pour moi ou ça serait ridicule ? (En terme d’esthétique )

J’ai aussi essayé une forunner 970 qui fait aussi 47mm je crois

Merci à vous !
