What's New in Runner Lab

• **The widget shows your form.** In the medium widget with a goal, the form takes the place of the verdict the bar already gives: the band and the signed number, the last one the app computed. It stays while it is less than two days old, the same clock the widget uses to declare stale data; past that the verdict comes back, instead of a band decided three days ago. • **The widget taps through where it matters.** Each cell of the medium size opens where its number is explained: form opens Form, the record opens Records, the rest opens Year. • **Indoor runners are visible.** In the medium widget without a goal, the record is your indoor time when you have none on the road over 10 or 5 km, and it says so: "Indoor 10 km". The shareable card of a treadmill run now carries the word "Indoors", which three rules in place of the shape of the route never said. • **One clock.** The widget and the Shortcuts actions declare old data by the same threshold, after two days: before, the widget said it and the action stayed quiet until the seventh. • **The actions tell you where you're heading.** "Year goal" now adds the end-of-year projection, the same one you read in the medium widget. And in the Shortcuts app the three actions explain themselves, instead of being a list label. • **Charts you can hear.** With VoiceOver the Audio Graph now walks the period trend, the year comparison, a run's elevation profile and the heat chart: four curves you could previously only look at. Pace sounds like a pace, not like a decimal number. • **The free trial shows, and so does the price.** The yearly subscription button reads "Start free trial" when the trial is yours to take. The terms now sit above the button and always carry the figure: before, whoever picked the monthly plan read renewal and cancellation and no price at all. And switching plans no longer makes the page jump. • **More honest numbers after an update.** The widget does not show records computed under superseded criteria: they are recomputed the first time you open the app. And a form decided under changed criteria is not repeated: the cell goes back to the verdict, until the calculation says it again under today's rules. And if you have not granted access to Health yet, the widget shows your goal instead of a zero nobody measured. • **Verdicts that wait for enough data.** Heart-rate variability is measured against the preceding weeks rather than against itself, so a week-long drop no longer reads as balance. The aerobic-base verdict stays quiet on months with a single run. And if you have just started, the end-of-year projection is computed over the weeks you actually ran, not diluted over eight. • **Clear about what is free.** Today's form, your personal bests and the recognised routes have been free since 2.0, and the screens describing Runner Pro still listed them among its features. Now the paywall, the Settings footer and the last step of the introduction say what Pro adds: the load curve beneath the number, the daily advice, the zones, race predictions and the comparison between repeats of a route. • **Numbers that no longer contradict each other.** In "How often you run" the label at the top read "every 2 days" while the highlighted bar below it marked a single day: those are the average gap and the gap you repeat most, and now they say so. Elevation above a thousand metres carries a thousands separator, from a run's summary to the year's "you climbed 12,345 m". And the Habits info button opens the Habits card, not the one about recent runs. • **Large text and reduced motion.** The headers of the five sections and the split rows grow with the text instead of writing over the next line; with Reduce Motion the loading bar no longer scrolls forever; at accessibility sizes the Home advice reserves four lines instead of two, and the sentence that used to be cut mid-word now fits.
