What’s new in 2.6.3 Every run has a story. Share yours. Turn your runs into share cards with your own photos or generated artwork, a story inspired by your splits, and the stats you want to show. Choose a colourway, then save or share. Celebrate your weekly mileage with a new weekly card, or share any past week straight from the calendar. Your finish line deserves more. Genie now recognises your race. Confirm your finish, add your official time, and celebrate with a personal recap of the training that got you there. Share your finisher card and revisit every achievement in “Your race memories.” Stronger plans. Smarter progress. Training plans now build more naturally, with a dedicated long run each week and steady volume progression that continues after planned easy weeks. Tapers align with your actual race date, while injury adjustments keep the build sensible. Rebuilding is clearer too: plans update when you ask, with a clear explanation if something goes wrong. A coach that gets you. “Rebuild my week” now works the way you mean it. Genie confirms changes in your language and preferred units, and puts your measured heart-rate zones ahead of its own estimates. More insight into every effort. Post-run pacing and heart-rate analysis makes better use of your personal zones. Interval sessions are recognised by what you actually ran, and runners using miles and feet get consistent units throughout. Garmin, ready from day one. Laps and activity details now arrive from the day you connect, giving your first insights the same depth as the ones that follow. Sign-in is smoother too. Better in every detail. Full translations across all 11 languages, accurate weekly stats through daylight-saving changes, and updates that install quietly in the background.

Every training plan now goes through a quality check before it reaches you. PLANS THAT HOLD UP • Every plan is scored against real coaching standards and rebuilt automatically if it falls short. If it still is not right, the app tells you and offers to rebuild it, instead of quietly handing you a plan it does not believe in. • Race day is never listed as a rest day, and runs never arrive without a distance. • Weekly mileage builds in sensible steps, with long runs kept proportionate to how often you actually run. • Tune-up races stay exactly where they were placed. TELL IT YOUR LIFE, AND IT LISTENS • Block off a holiday, a work trip or a week away in plain English, and those days stay clear. This used to be treated as a suggestion. Now it is enforced. • If your goal race is ambitious for the time you have left, the plan says so up front instead of pretending otherwise. YOUR PLAN IN YOUR LANGUAGE • Workout descriptions now read in your language, including plans already on your calendar. Just open the plan. A CALMER COACH • No more empty replies, and confirmation cards spell out exactly what is about to change before you approve it. • Insights read properly, with durations in minutes and seconds, and consistent training is no longer misread as inconsistent. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • More reliable first sync from Strava and steadier Garmin activity delivery. • Fewer sign-in failures, and account deletion now works for everyone. • Smoother typing in Settings, and real progress while your plan is being built.
