• Miles: in Settings › Units, choose kilometers or miles; by default the iOS region decides (miles in the United States and the United Kingdom). With miles come paces, splits and comparisons mile by mile, elevation in feet, and the mile instead of the kilometer among your records; the 5 km and the 10 km stay races. Widget, Shortcuts, notifications and cards use the same unit. • Form states facts, not verdicts: the form number without a band name, load without a "safe zone" or a steep-ramp warning, time in zone as time in the first three zones, HRV with the week's average and your usual range. The tip of the day is gone with them: on real runs and in the research, these verdicts don't hold up. • Cardiac drift is a fact of the run, free, on runs of an hour or more; the efficiency of a single run is gone, because it followed the chosen pace more than fitness. • A new note under your runs: a run more than 10% longer than the longest run of the previous thirty days says so ("+35% on the longest run of the previous 30 days"). • Automatic maximum heart rate is the highest confirmed in the last three years, not of all time, because maximum heart rate declines with age: for long-time runners some runs change zone. • When a run has no route or heart rate, because the app that recorded it doesn't write them to Health, its page says so next to the source, and the "i" says which readings are missing. • A run's page says how many times you've run its route and how many at the same length, and the route comparison uses the latter. • Early in the year the finish day and the year-end distance wait: until the year's runs are enough for a projection that holds, the Home screen, the widget and Shortcuts don't say them. On real runs, the January projection was off by more than half. • From iOS 26, the first read of your runs continues outside the app, with the count in the iOS notice; if iOS stops it, it resumes where it left off when you come back. • With Increase Contrast the faint tones get more contrast, and with Differentiate Without Color context bars get an outline, so emphasis isn't shown by color alone. • Tapping a notification with Settings or another page open on top closes them and opens the run; and with the app open across New Year's, the Home screen moves to the new year by itself. • Without iCloud on the phone, the row for your choices in Settings says so. • On an iPhone set to a language the app doesn't have, such as German or Japanese, Runner Lab now speaks English, like its App Store page, instead of Italian. • A run's card no longer marks the start and leaves out the first and last 200 meters of the route: for anyone who runs from home, start and finish are home. • Cards can be saved to Photos from the share sheet, with "Save Image": Runner Lab only asks to add them, and your library is never read. • With "Names from places" on, Apple receives the halfway point of each route instead of its start; and the privacy texts also mention a run's map, which comes from Apple Maps. • The week now runs Monday to Sunday for everyone, with ISO week numbers, like the Sunday summary: in the United States it started on Sunday, and on Sunday evening the notification and the Home screen showed two different weeks. • The week's plan follows your typical week: if you run on fixed days, you're no longer behind every evening before your day. • A new note under your runs when a run is your fastest of the last 52 weeks over a distance without being a record: for when you're coming back from a break or past your peak. • On the goal page the track is wider, and below it the last 12 weeks show in how many you already ran what the number asks for, with the distance per run and the day you'd reach it at this pace.
