Updates and improvements to NavRun
Squashed a nasty bug that was blocking some of you from viewing your training plans.
A behind-the-scenes issue was causing the plans page to crash for some users — we tracked it down and fixed it. We also improved how NavRun handles moments when Strava is slow to process your latest run, so syncs are more reliable now. On top of that, we simplified our email flows by removing some old trial-related messages that were cluttering your inbox.
Your plan calendar just got a whole lot smarter.
The calendar on your plans page now shows what you actually ran on past days — real miles, real pace — right alongside what was scheduled. You'll see weekly mileage totals, elevation targets, and week-in-cycle labels like "Base," "Build," "Peak," and "Taper" so you always know where you are in your training block. There's even a days-to-race countdown ticking away in the corner. For those of you training without a specific race on the horizon, we added a consistency grid mode with gentler language that celebrates showing up rather than hitting splits.
Pace display and unit fixes across your plan list — no more mystery numbers.
We fixed several issues where pace wasn't displaying correctly in the calendar view, and made sure your active plan card respects your preferred units. The plans page also loads noticeably faster now, especially if you have a long training history. We cleaned up the layout with better pagination, run type badges, screen reader labels, and a tidier mobile experience.
Your analytics dashboard got a complete makeover.
We redesigned the entire analytics page into five progressive sections: At a Glance, How You're Running, Training Load, Race Focus, and Go Deeper. Instead of throwing every chart at you at once, the page now tells a story — starting with your quick snapshot and letting you dive deeper when you're curious. It's the same data, but organized the way a runner actually thinks about training.
Edit your entire training plan without leaving the page.
No more clicking into individual days to tweak your schedule. You can now edit your full training plan inline — adjust paces, swap workouts, move rest days — all from a single view. We also fixed your plan detail page to load faster, tightened up security, improved accessibility with seven WCAG fixes, and gave the whole page a visual refresh with a training context header and better long run prominence.
Miles or kilometers? Now it's your call, everywhere.
You can now set your preferred unit system — metric or imperial — and the entire app respects it. Every distance, pace, and elevation label across 30+ screens now adapts to your choice. Whether you think in 5Ks or 3.1-milers, NavRun speaks your language. Head to Preferences to set it up.
Push notifications just got personal, and plan generation got a lot more reliable.
You can now choose exactly which notifications you receive — and whether they come via push or email — from a new preferences grid. Pick what matters to you and mute the rest. We also spent serious time hardening the plan generation flow: fixed several data-loss bugs in the multi-step wizard, added a fitness context panel so the AI knows where you're starting from, and built a progressive availability selector so your plan actually fits your life. If you're chasing a Boston qualifier, you'll also see your BQ goal pace displayed throughout the process.
Your phone is about to become your running command center.
We scaffolded a native mobile shell for iOS and Android using Capacitor, along with push notification infrastructure powered by Firebase. This is the foundation for a proper NavRun mobile app — same features you love on the web, but with real push notifications landing on your phone. More to come here soon.
Ultra runners, we see you.
We raised the maximum race goal time from 24 hours all the way to 200 hours, because 100-milers and multi-day events deserve first-class support. The analytics page now includes a 4-bucket elevation distribution chart, lower gates for ultra-specific metrics, and informational tooltips for 50K+ distances. We also added duration, elevation, and time-on-feet charts so you can track the numbers that actually matter for long efforts. And yes, the BQ goal progress bar is still there for you road racers chasing Boston.
We replaced fake charts with real data — and your analytics are better for it.
Honest moment: those CTL/ATL/TSB fitness charts were using placeholder data. We ripped them out and replaced them with a real weekly training summary table that reflects your actual training load. The analytics page also got a plain-language summary at the top, an adaptive profile metric, and a milestone tracker so you can see your progress at a glance. We hardened the page against edge cases too — better sync status indicators, data freshness labels, and guards for when your training history is thin.
Your race detail page now shows where you've run the course before.
Course familiarity is here. When you view a race, you'll see a coverage card showing how much of the course you've already trained on, plus a colored map overlay highlighting familiar and unfamiliar segments. Prediction cards use your course history to give smarter finish time estimates, and an interactive map lets you click gaps to see exactly where you need more training. We also wired course familiarity into your analytics predictions, training plans, and weekly reports — so every part of NavRun gets smarter when you know the course.
Activity list and detail pages: upgraded across the board.
Your activity list now shows elevation gain, a This Week stats card, a weekly bar chart, streak indicators, BQ pace deltas, and real pagination. RPE badges appear inline so you can scan effort levels at a glance. On the detail page, we fixed GPS track rendering, added splits pagination with a swipe hint, and now display your Strava activity name. Your race strategy pages got course-matched pacing with color-coded rows, too.
Home dashboard — now actually usable on your phone.
We overhauled the home page layout for mobile: the calendar view renders cleanly on small screens, the sidebar no longer overlaps your content, and weekly summaries with elevation data and streak counters are front and center. We also fixed the UltraSignup race search API and resolved several stability issues that were causing timeouts and errors for some users.
