Updates and improvements to NavRun
Subscriptions, pricing, and your Pro upgrade path.
We built the full subscription system: a pricing page, no-card-required trial checkout, a customer portal for managing your billing, and Pro badges throughout the app. Trial banners keep you informed about your trial status, and the upgrade showcase page shows exactly what you get with Pro. Feature gating ensures free users see what's possible and can upgrade when they're ready.
Strava sync is now rock-solid under pressure.
We fixed a cascade of issues that could cause sync storms when Strava's servers were under load — webhook handling now gracefully queues retries instead of hammering the API. We also fixed pace data overflows, auto-sync retry loops, and routing errors that were causing silent failures for some users. The preferences page loads faster too.
Follow us on Strava, and say hello to the NavRun Pro era.
We kicked off the NavRun Pro milestone and added a Follow on Strava button to the about page. Big things are coming in the Pro tier — stay tuned.
A proper About page, and behind-the-scenes reliability fixes.
NavRun now has a personal About page with the founder's runner story and photo. Feature pages got a visual refresh to match the landing page's dark theme, and we added ultramarathon to race prediction references. Under the hood, we fixed a database connection issue that was silently killing background tasks and cleaned up some configuration quirks.
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.
