## What is Run by Mike?

Your run, mapped in seconds.

Run by Mike turns "I want to run" into a route you can start right now. Pick your workout, and it builds a course from where you're standing. No scrolling around a map, no measuring streets. Just head out the door.

ROUTES THAT FIT YOUR RUN
Choose Out and Back, a Loop, or find the nearest track, then get a route at the distance you want. It reads the wind and points you into it first, so you finish with it at your back. Want to draw your own? Tap the map to build a custom route with Premium. Save the ones you like and start them again in a tap.

TRAINING PLANS BUILT AROUND YOU
Get a real plan for your 5K, 10K, half, or full marathon, built on the 80/20 approach that most coaches stand by. Plans scale from your first race to your fastest, and they move through a base, a build, a peak, and a taper as race day gets closer. New to running? A Couch to 5K style plan eases you in with walk and run intervals. Your pace targets come from your Apple Health fitness, a recent race, or the time you're chasing.

A CALENDAR THAT KEEPS YOU HONEST
Every workout sits on a calendar, color coded by type. Tap any day to see the details, preview the route, and get directions. Mark a run done or skip it, and your plan adjusts.

TRACKING WITHOUT THE BUSYWORK
Your runs come in from Apple Health on their own, so there's nothing to log by hand. See your weekly, monthly, and all time distance, your current streak, your longest run, and how your pace is trending. Open any run for splits by mile or kilometer with pace and heart rate. Earn badges as you hit milestones.

WEATHER YOU CAN PLAN AROUND
A quick readiness check tells you whether to go now, wait for a better window, or sit out the heat. You'll see the current conditions and the hours ahead right where you plan the run. Premium adds a coach that reads the weather and your recent training to give you a daily nudge and notes for the workout.

SHARE THE RUN
Build a card with your route map and your stats. Move things around, pick what shows, and post it anywhere.

MADE FOR APPLE
Your plans, runs, and routes sync across your devices with iCloud. Add widgets for the best window to run today, your race countdown, and the next route up. It uses Apple Health, Weather, and Maps directly, and it works with Dynamic Type and VoiceOver.

FREE AND PREMIUM
Generate routes, track your runs, and save up to three routes for free. Premium adds the custom route builder, build training plans for races, unlimited saved routes, the run coach, sync with Apple Health, readiness insights, and more!

Pick a run. Get a route. Go.

• Your route now sits front and center on the map when you open a workout.
• Saving a new route takes you straight back home when you're done.
• Share your workouts!
• Tidied up the stats and calendar layouts.
• AND much more general reliability and speed improvements.

Thanks for running with us. If something feels off, tell us.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-06-07

• Fixed a bug where workout detail sheet would stay locked on the bottom 1/3rd of the screen after generating a route
• Goal colors now flow from easy to hard (Foundation → 5K → 10K → Half → Marathon)
• Run Coach and Daily Message now load together on Home
• Fixed an issue where splits were calculated incorrectly during import

### 1.1 — 2026-06-06

Foundation plan
- An 8-week walk/run progression for runners building their first base. When you finish it, a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or marathon plan is one tap away.

Widgets
- Added custom widgets so you can view todays, run, routes, or training plans without opening up the app

Custom routes
- Tap up to 12 waypoints on the map and the route follows the path you draw. Great for picking out a specific loop or stitching together a familiar route.

Edit routes
- Drag, insert, or remove waypoints on any saved route. Tweak a favorite loop without starting over.

Walking workout
- Log a walk as its own workout type. Walks show up in your history but stay out of your running PRs and pace trends.

Apple Health sync improvements
- Runs you've already logged stop getting imported a second time, and synced walks land as walks instead of polluting your running stats.

Workout & Route generation improvements
- Generated routes no longer try to cross ferries or other paths you can't actually run, and the map's recenter button targets your route's starting point when you've picked one.

UI changes and polish across the entire app

### 1.0 — 2026-05-25

No release notes.
