Follow plans and guided sessions on your wrist, with a pace target for every rep.

What’s new
Version 1.3.4 · Updated October 17, 2026
What's New — English Fixed, thanks to your feedback Sleep in Trends now matches Today: a night is no longer split at midnight, and a night you entered by hand shows in Trends too. Plan days now follow the real calendar, so a Tuesday run is marked on Tuesday, and a plan started on a Sunday no longer begins the following Monday. If you run in miles, distances and paces now respect that throughout the app: plans, run details, Home, Trends, History, Settings, notifications and widgets, including the threshold pace you type in. Today keeps your readiness when you return to the tab. Easy runs stay easy An easy run from Today's call or a plan day now runs on the watch without a pace target: the suggested pace stays on iPhone as a guide, and the watch no longer tells you to pick it up or ease off on an easy run. One Today card on the watch Home on the watch shows a single Today card: your plan day with the coach's check (as planned, lighter option or not checked), or Today's call if you have no plan. After a run on either device it reads Done, and the plan screen has a Check now button. Paste a coach's message as written Import now reads coach prose: "Six 3-minute efforts with 90 seconds easy between" or "twenty-five minutes easy" become the right steps. If a breakdown looks wrong, tap Not right? Try a smart read (Pro). Apple Watch setup, step by step A new setup screen tells you exactly where you are: no Watch paired, app not installed yet, app installed but not opened, or connected, with a retry button and instructions for each. Watch Screens changes now save and sync on their own; the Send to Watch button is gone, and a Sync button sits in the toolbar if you ever need it. Treadmill distance reaches Apple Health When you enter the belt distance after a treadmill run, Apple Health now gets the corrected distance too, on the same workout, with your heart rate and other samples untouched. Coaching to power as well as pace (Pro) If you run with a Stryd pod, pair it on the watch (Settings, Sensors, Stryd Foot Pod) and set a power target on any run setup, on iPhone or on the watch, in watts or as a percentage of your threshold power. The session builder takes power on the warm-up, every rep and recovery, and the cool-down. During a session, the interval display on your wrist shows your 5-second power against each step's target and tells you PUSH ON, EASE OFF or ON POWER. On any run, add the Power vs target field to a screen. Spoken cues and wrist taps switch on separately. After the run, see your average power against the target for every rep. Enter your threshold power on iPhone, in Trends or Settings, or on the watch under Workout, Your numbers, or confirm RunToMax's own estimate with one tap. A percentage target with no confirmed threshold no longer blocks the run: it starts with power guidance off and the watch says why. Power comes from your pod only; without one, nothing changes. AI coaching, your choice AI coaching is off until you turn it on. When that is the only thing missing, Today shows a Turn on AI button and says the read was written on your iPhone, the smart read asks first, and after you go Pro the app asks once. Smaller changes Watch Settings keep every target under Workout, Targets, with one short line per row. The Watch Screens editor groups its metric fields into menus. Big numbers on the Track Lap and Equal grid run faces are one weight lighter and easier to read. Settings has a Join r/RunToMax link under About & help, and the run page shows it once. Standing still with a pod reads Resting.
