What's New in BetterRunning
1.7.1
October 23, 2026
Every workout now counts towards your training load. Until now only runs did, so a long ride, a swim or a strength session never reached your load ratio or your readiness. Anything in Apple Health now counts, and a new "Training load by source" card on Progress shows each week split between running and other training, so a jump after a big ride explains itself. If you cross-train a lot, expect your load ratio and readiness to shift. Help is now inside the app. Profile → Help & support has a searchable FAQ, four how-to guides and a contact form — no browser. Sending a message shares the email you enter with us so we can reply; a switch lets you add your app and iOS version, off by default. Your coach now knows why you changed the plan. What you type in Adjust plan used to be filed and never read again. Your daily note and weekly review now take it into account, as background — it never overrides a rest day or a load limit. A free run you delete stays deleted. It used to come back from Apple Health on the next refresh, or from another device. Now it doesn't. Your resting heart rate now reaches every number built from it. 1.6.2 fixed your session targets; the plan your coach builds, the zones row created at first launch and the recovery signal on a Garmin-style watch still read a hardcoded 65 bpm whenever a real reading was missing. They now use your most recent real one, or say nothing. Decline an adjustment back to the original plan, and your coach remembers. Setting a softened day back to what the plan held used to count as no change, so Today kept showing the easier run you had turned down. It now counts as an override, with the note it deserves. The morning note always has weather, your cycle phase and your weight trend, however it reaches you, and a background refresh coaches the goal whose run is today. Your zone paces start learning from the runs you've done. A session that stayed in its target zone now blends its real pace into that zone's baseline. Nothing changes today; your numbers just start sharpening. Reopening the watch app mid-run no longer fakes your splits, and a run longer than 90 minutes gets its review again — the window is measured from when the run ended. BetterRunning now speaks German, French and Spanish (Profile → Language), and a Dutch runner's watch is Dutch everywhere. Also: Profile's phone-side Auto-pause and HR zone enforce switches are gone — they never did anything; the watch's own switches are unchanged. The watch complication shows "—" before first sync instead of a 0. The load ratio stays hidden until there are four weeks of history.
