What's New in RunReady

3

October 14, 2026

RunReady 3 asks how you feel in the morning and plans your run from there. New: light mode, a Training tab with the readiness of every run, Insights with a calendar, and widgets for your recommendation and weekly plan. TODAY - Do you want to run today? Tell RunReady whether you feel fresh, normal or tired, or skip today. Your recommendation follows. - Tap HRV, resting heart rate, sleep or load in the ring: see the last 30 nights with your normal range, your sleep stages or your training week. - Load shows your 7-day ratio against your usual training. Between 0.8 and 1.3 you are in the sweet spot. - If your resting heart rate stays well above your average for two nights, it turns red in the ring. Optionally RunReady sends a notification. - Send your recommendation to Apple Watch as a workout with heart rate targets. - Open the value table when you need it via "All values compared". TRAINING - The new tab shows your week with plan and weekly goal at the top, your runs as a timeline below. - Every run shows that morning's readiness with all four sub-scores and whether the run matched the recommendation. - The pace chart shows every 200 m where you sped up or slowed down. - Your effort rating from Apple Fitness appears in the run. - Best efforts over 1 km, 5 km, 10 km and half marathon. INSIGHTS - Readiness history over 30 days, 90 days or a year, with a second line to compare. - "What moves your score?" compares your mornings after short nights, load jumps and long runs with all others. - Pace at the same heart rate, weekly distance with goal, monthly distance and running form: pace, efficiency and cadence. - Calendar with readiness or kilometres for every day. Tap a day to see its run. - Time axes follow the time span, even when a single old run lies years back. YOUR YEAR FROM DAY ONE - Under Settings › Archive, RunReady pulls up to 365 days from Apple Health and calculates their scores. - Runs you delete in Apple Health disappear from RunReady too. WIDGETS - New: recommendation and weekly plan, each in small, medium and Lock Screen sizes, plus a large widget with readiness, recommendation and week. - Without current data the widgets show "No score yet" instead of a sample value. SETTINGS - Reorganised into pages: Weekly plan, Heart Rate Zones, Plan adjustment, Workouts on Apple Watch, Archive, Notifications, Appearance. - Light, dark or system. - Plan adjustment (opt-in): if your score is too low for a quality session, RunReady moves it to a later day of the week. - Send feedback right from the app, with version and device already in the mail. MORE IMPROVEMENTS - Max heart rate ignores single measurement spikes. - The monthly comparison always uses the previous calendar month. - Numbers use one typeface, digits stay aligned in tables.

Schönes Interface aber Inhalt ausbaufähig

Die App ist sehr übersichtlich gestaltet. Allerdings finde ich die Berechnung der Herzfrequenzzonen etwas zu niedrig angesetzt, was für mich nicht realistisch klingt.
Eine Analyse der Läufe wäre wünschenswert.
Hoffentlich wird die App weiterentwickelt.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für Dein Feedback! Freut mich sehr, dass Dir der Aufbau der App gefällt. Kurz zur Herzfrequenzberechnung: RunReady verwendet standardmäßig die Karvonen-Methode (Herzfrequenzreserve / HRR) mit den klassischen Schwellen 50/60/70/80 % für die Zonen Z1–Z4. Da HF-Zonen aber tatsächlich sehr individuell sind, kannst Du sie in den Einstellungen komplett auf Dich anpassen. Entweder über eine eigene HFmax und veränderte Prozentsätze oder ganz manuell mit festen BPM-Werten pro Zone. So hast Du die volle Kontrolle und kannst die Zonen genau auf Dein Trainingsempfinden bzw. Deine Laktat-/Schwellenwerte abstimmen. Eine ausführlichere Lauf-Analyse steht ebenfalls auf der Roadmap. Dein Hinweis dazu ist notiert. Bleib dran!
