What's New in RunNerd
1.6.3
September 9, 2026
This update refines plan setup, run tracking and coaching, shaped by what runners told us and what we saw in the numbers. QUICK RUNS • Pick a session and a day, and it's ready for you on Home. Four sessions, from an easy 20 minutes to a longer effort. • Every quick run is coached out loud, with pace at each mile and the time left in each block. • See everything you've booked for the week in one place. SETUP AND SYNC • Tell us what you run with, and the Apple Health request is framed around your answer. • Watch your own runs arrive as they sync. • If a setting needs changing in your watch or running app, we name it and show you where. YOUR RUNS • Mile splits come straight from your watch's own file. • Personal records are recognised and called out — fastest mile, longest run — and your coach knows about them when writing your debrief. • Indoor runs keep recording with your phone in a pocket, with cadence measured indoors. YOUR PLAN • A structured day editor for changing a single day on its own. • Plans follow the run days and workout types you choose. • Long runs stay in range of the distance you've built up to. ALSO • Smoother audio coaching. • A calmer Home screen.
