# runningSpeed

A quantity sample type that measures the runner’s speed.

## Declaration

```swift
static let runningSpeed: HKQuantityTypeIdentifier
```

## Discussion

Discussion These samples use distance per time units (described in HKUnit) and measure discrete values (described in HKQuantityAggregationStyle). During outdoor running workouts, the system automatically records running speed samples on Apple Watch. Sample data may be condensed and/or coalesced by HealthKit. For more information, see Accessing condensed workout samples.
