What's New

Updates and improvements to NavRun

September 21, 2026

v2026.9.21.2

Edits you make to a run on strava.com now show up in NavRun.

  • Change something on Strava after a run has already synced, elevation, distance, name, sport type, moving time, mile splits, and it used to stay stuck at the old numbers forever. A treadmill run with "treadmill" unchecked afterward, so real elevation shows, is exactly this case. NavRun now picks up the edit the next time Strava tells it about the run.
v2026.9.21.1

Internal fix: an Apple subscriber's auto-renew status can now heal itself instead of staying blank forever.

  • The two places that already ask Apple for a subscription's live status (the purchase-verify call and the nightly reconcile check) now also record whether auto-renew is on, so a row that missed its one notification for this gets filled in on the next check instead of staying unset for months.

September 20, 2026

v2026.9.20.1

Adding a race from the catalog no longer refuses to save when the course has no distance on file yet.

  • Most of NavRun's race catalog (about 9 in 10 courses) has no measured distance yet, and a timed race like a backyard ultra, a 24 hour or a 48 hour never has one by design. Adding one of these to your calendar used to be refused outright: "This course has no distance in the catalog yet... Add it by hand for now." It now saves, and shows "Distance not set yet" instead of a blank or a wrong number wherever it would have printed the distance.
  • Adopting a no-distance course was still failing right after the fix above: the adopt button 500'd, a training block built around that race could crash on its Sunday refresh, and a plan generated the old way could size a week around a guessed 0-mile race. All three now refuse honestly instead, the same as the training block already did, and the calendar day panel and dashboard race card no longer print a stray "None" or a bare unit with nothing in front of it. Fixed for every phone already on the App Store: a missing distance still arrives as a value those builds can read, never one that breaks the whole Races tab.

September 19, 2026

v2026.9.19.7

The race day plan breathes more, weekly report rows look clickable, and course segments moved into a real list.

  • The race day plan's sections (Weather, Aid Stations, Segments, Mile Splits, Finish Time, Race Notes) now have more room between them, so they read as separate sections instead of one long block.
  • Every row that opens another screen, weekly reports, the race page's rows, records that link to a run, the Trends rows, now looks like a card you can tap, before you ever touch it.
  • The course chart no longer crowds segment names over the elevation profile. Every segment's name, mile range, and effort now lives in the Segments list below the chart, which holds up whether a race has six segments or twenty.
v2026.9.19.6

"How your runs spread out" and your race-build chart actually load now.

  • Both screens were sitting blank forever, even though the data behind them loaded fine within a fraction of a second -- the screen just never redrew to show it. Now it does.
v2026.9.19.5

"How your runs spread out" and your race-build chart say so when they can't load, instead of sitting blank.

  • If either screen's chart can't load, you'll see an honest note and a "Try again" button instead of an empty page with no way back in.
v2026.9.19.4

The training load bar's labels don't collide anymore, wherever your usual range sits.

  • "Your usual range" now keeps clear of "lighter" and "more than usual" on the same row, and never runs off the card's edge, even when your usual range sits right at either end of the scale.
v2026.9.19.3

Your season looked wrong on the phone -- fixed the whole card, and two eyebrows next to it.

  • The card after Grindstone was missing its lead-in line naming Grindstone and the weeks to the next race, and the races after it were stacking one under another instead of sitting in one row -- both are back to how the design showed them.
  • The day count on each of those races reads bigger than the race name again, and the week markers between them are calmer and centered, not shouting the same size as the day count.
  • "Next race" and "This week so far" read in caps again, matching every other label on the screen, and "This week so far" is back to its rust color instead of plain gray.
v2026.9.19.2

Race distances read "32.5 mi," not "32.50 mi."

  • The race strategy header, and a finished race's "on a 100 mile course" line, now read your race's distance the same clean way every other distance in the app does.
v2026.9.19.1

A race day plan that's still being written no longer looks like it failed.

  • Race Strategy now checks whether your plan is still being written before it ever asks for the finished one, so a plan you just started shows "working on it" instead of a false "let's get this built" -- and it lands on the finished plan on its own, without you leaving and coming back.

September 18, 2026

v2026.9.18.8

Three chart and label fixes across the You tab and Today.

  • "How your runs spread out," "Toward <race>," and "Climbing, week by week" fill the screen's width again, and each shows an honest "this fills in as you run" note instead of a blank page when there is genuinely nothing to chart yet.
  • The load card's "your usual range" label reads clearly now, and sits under the actual band it names rather than the middle of the row.
  • Today's 12-week chart reads hours on its axis instead of raw seconds, its peak callout no longer covers the axis label above it, and "so far" sits under the current week's own mark instead of floating in the opposite corner.
v2026.9.18.6

The last thing on a screen no longer hides behind the floating tab bar.

  • Race Strategy's fuel and water link, a race's own page, your races list, your runs, your records, training load, and your weekly report all leave enough room at the bottom now, so the last row clears the tab bar and the raised Out Here button that floats above it.
v2026.9.18.7

A gear page, for now only on the test site.

  • A new page lists NavRun gear, starting with one shirt, with sizes and a buy button.
  • Checkout, shipping, tax and returns are handled by Fourthwall, not NavRun.
  • It is not linked from anywhere on navrun.app yet, and it is not live there either.
v2026.9.18.5

Races now know their own time zone, the day they're over by, and their course line.

  • Each race works out its own time zone from where it is, so race week, night before and race morning move at the right moment even when you are somewhere else.
  • A race knows the day it's over by, worked out from its cutoffs when they're on file, so a finished race settles into its own ending without you telling it.
  • A race's course line and elevation profile travel with it now, from a course file or from NavRun's own catalog.
  • A finished race can carry its linked run's own miles, time on feet and climb, so "your day out there" is your day, not just the course's numbers.
  • A race with no website on file gets one filled in from NavRun's catalog, where one is on record.
v2026.9.18.4

"Build my race day plan" actually opens your race's plan now.

  • Wherever you see it, that button now lands on the plan itself, or the aid station list first if none are on file yet.
  • That covers a race you just added from the list, from NavRun's own catalog, on the Today screen, or right after you set up your account.
v2026.9.18.3

The Races list is a timeline now: your next race up top, then everything after it in order.

  • Your next race gets its own card that never goes away, with the weeks between it and everything after it marked plainly.
  • "Did you run this one?" and "Races you've run" sit below, so a race you have not answered yet never gets lost among ones still coming.
  • With no race on the calendar, it shows you where to add one and where to find a race in NavRun's own catalog.
v2026.9.18.2

Delete a race from its own Edit screen, and say how far you got.

  • Delete race moved to the bottom of Edit; the race page's own trash button is gone.
  • A finished race can say how far you actually covered, right in Edit, next to Completed.
  • The race website has its own row now, for every race, not just the ones you typed in by hand.
v2026.9.18.1

The race page now moves through race week with you, on the race's own clock.

  • Every race's page is one screen that moves through Weeks out, Race week, Night before, Race morning and After, with one card for wherever you are and the course, cutoffs, kit and crew grouped underneath in the order that matters right then.
  • A finished race gets its own ending, your day out there in your own numbers, and a race nobody has answered yet asks plainly whether you ran it.
  • Race week and Night before move Get ready to the top, since that is what you are doing then; Race morning puts it back.
  • The trash button is off the race page's bar now; the form it opened is getting its own Delete next.

September 17, 2026

v2026.9.17.8

The You tab is one page now: your hours, this year, your training load, your runs, reports and records.

  • The You tab is a single scrolling page, with a row of pills that jump between sections and follow you as you scroll: Overview, Trends, Load, Runs, Reports, Records.
  • Your hours on your feet since you started sit at the top, then this year week by week, with race weeks and your long days marked and the current week drawn lighter.
  • Training load is one number now: your last 7 days against a usual week from the last 4. It is a plain sentence and a bar, never a color change, a runner who is training more or less than usual reads the same as anyone else.
  • An injury-risk alert now opens on the You tab, right under your header, and says plainly what it is based on, your road-run miles or your heart-rate load.
  • Your runs, your weekly reports, and your records all sit on this one page too. Records closes it out.
  • The alert color changed so it never reads like the app's own brand color at a glance.
v2026.9.17.7

Pick a race and NavRun lays out every week between now and race day.

  • Choose the race you are building toward and NavRun shows the whole build before anything changes: every week to race day, with time on your feet and miles for each, and which weeks are base, build, peak, taper or an easier week.
  • Weeks you have already run count toward the build, so a runner who has been training for ten weeks sees "Week 11 of 12", not "Week 1".
  • Say yes and the next four weeks are written for you. The weeks after that fill in as you go, and they follow the running you actually log.
  • Pick a different A race and you see the new build first. Your other races stay in it as training races, with an easy week after the bigger ones.
  • If a race moves or changes distance, NavRun shows you the new build and waits for your answer. Your plan's race day follows your race list.
  • All of this is free.
v2026.9.17.6

Your runs moved under You, and now open one month at a time.

  • Your runs now live under the You tab instead of their own tab. Open a month, and the others close so the list stays short; tap an older month on the strip at the top to jump straight to it.
  • Search finds a run by its name, a note, or the race it was.
  • A race you ran and one of your own longest days now stand out from the rest of the list. A long day is your own longest 5% of time on your feet over the last year, at least 90 minutes. Marking a run as a race by hand is coming; for now a run only shows as a race once it is linked to one on your calendar.
  • Pace moved off this list and onto the run's own page.
v2026.9.17.5

The home screen now shows your week, twelve weeks behind it, and your next race in the last three weeks.

  • Today shows your week so far (time on your feet, climb, miles) with a chart of the last twelve weeks behind it, so a good week has something to stand next to.
  • When your next race is three weeks out or closer, its countdown and course numbers move to the top of the screen. Further out, it sits with the rest of your season.
  • Your runs now open from the You tab. Plans is renamed Training.
v2026.9.17.3

The crew parking coordinates are ink, not pink.

  • The crew sheet's parking coordinates were rendering in Bootstrap's default pink text, which reads as an error on a page whose whole job is calm. The coordinates now match the rest of the box's text.
v2026.9.17.2

The crew sheet's alt map link now offers the other app.

  • The small link beside the drive button was pointing at the same maps app as the button itself, on both iPhone and everywhere else. Now it always offers the other one.
v2026.9.17.1

The crew sheet now points at crew parking.

  • One tap opens your maps app at the place you can actually park for the next stop, not the aid station's own pin.
  • The coordinates are there to copy too, and the links keep working once the page is open, even with no signal.

September 16, 2026

v2026.9.16.5

The Crew's annual price is $59.99 a year.

  • Joining the Crew for a year now costs $59.99, on the web and on the iPhone. Joining month to month stays $6.99. Paying for the year still saves you money over paying month by month, about 28% over a year of the monthly price.
  • Nothing changes for anyone already on the Crew's annual plan. You keep the price you joined at.
v2026.9.16.4

A race's search result now shows the race's facts before you click.

  • Searching a race on Google used to show a NavRun result that said the same thing for every race, and sometimes printed the race's name twice.
  • The result now lists what the page holds: the date, the start time and where, the distance and climb, the cutoff, how many aid stations, and whether crew and pacers are allowed. A fact we have not checked is left out rather than guessed.
  • On a computer, the line above the result now reads NavRun, then Ultra Race Database, then the race.
v2026.9.16.3

Applied the same fix that closed the race notes crash to three more places.

  • The same closure-typing fix that stopped race notes save from closing the app was applied to plan revision actions, race strategy generation, and pulling the dashboard to refresh, so the same crash can't happen in those spots either.
v2026.9.16.2

Saving race notes on the iPhone: confirmed fixed, on a real iPhone.

  • The race notes save that could close the app is now confirmed fixed on an iPhone running iOS 27, saved twice in a row without closing.
  • The real cause: how the app was passing the Save action around internally, not the network call itself.
