how to turn off siri on your airpods during workout

Since the new update iOS26, every time I’m using my AirPods during a workout (initiated on my Iwatch), watching Netflix of listening to a podcast, Siri will interrupt and say things about my workout, like how fast I’m running.

That’s very annoying and I want to switch it off, but I cannot find any information on how to do that.

That sounds like the new Workout Buddy feature introduced in WatchOS 26. It gives you verbal workout commentary. You can turn it off by opening the Workout app > Find the specific workout > Tap the bell icon in the bottom right > Turn off Workout Buddy.
