Updates and improvements to NavRun
Workout reminders now respect your timezone, and background tasks got an upgrade.
Your workout reminder emails now send during reasonable hours in your local timezone — no more 3 AM nudges. We migrated our background task system to Django-Q2 for better reliability, and fixed crashes that some users were hitting on the plans and races pages.
Eleven new feature pages, SEO upgrades, and a welcome email.
We launched a feature hub with eleven beautifully designed pages — each with CSS animations, FAQ sections, and structured data for search engines. The site now has proper meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, and a corrected sitemap. New users get a welcome email on signup, and we switched our email delivery to Brevo for better reliability. We also added Sentry for error monitoring so we catch issues before you notice them.
Friendly error pages and a handful of fixes.
Instead of ugly default error screens, you'll now see custom-designed pages for common errors (404, 403, timeout, rate limit, and more). We fixed the navbar dropdown, the dashboard calendar layout, email link obfuscation, and added a honeypot to the registration page to keep bots out.
NavRun goes mobile-first, and your activities are now shareable.
The dashboard, activity cards, and charts are now fully responsive on phones and tablets. A hamburger menu keeps navigation clean on small screens, and you can swipe between activities. We added Open Graph images so your runs look great when shared on social media, plus structured data and a sitemap for search engines. You can also delete your account now, with full data cleanup and confirmation — because your data is yours.
Cross-training support is live — bike rides and swims welcome.
NavRun now tracks all your Strava activity types, not just runs. Filter chips on the activity list let you switch between running, cycling, swimming, and more. Each activity type gets its own detail display, and the home page weekly summary includes cross-training volume. Your AI training plans factor in cross-training load too, so your plan knows when you've already put in work on the bike.
Workout reminders land in your inbox.
Never forget a scheduled workout again. NavRun now sends email reminders for upcoming workouts, with an easy unsubscribe link and a toggle in your preferences. We built a reusable email template system under the hood to make all future emails look clean and consistent.
Fixed a dashboard crash for early users.
Some users who connected their accounts early on were hitting a crash caused by leftover references to our old data provider. That's fixed now — your dashboard should load smoothly.
Cleaned house and fixed plan generation access.
We removed the last traces of our old Smashrun integration and fixed an authentication issue that was blocking some users from generating new training plans.
