Smoother audio coaching in this update: • Your "halfway there" cue now lands right at the midpoint of your run, even if you skip or jump between intervals. • Voice cues are more reliable across the whole workout, so you won't miss the call to run, walk, or finish. Keep it up, you're closer to your first 5K than you think. Got a question or an idea? Email pace@philiplarsson.dev, a real person reads every one
