πŸš€ The summer roundup: Race Simulation, cloud plan builds, a smarter Coach and more

A lot has shipped since our last update. Here's everything, by release.


8 July β€” HYROX Race Simulation and a guided welcome

  • HYROX Race Simulation. Build a full or half simulation, pick your stations and run distance, then run it with live guidance through every run and station. Use it on race day to pace your runs and watch your heart rate. Your splits save to your Data screen. Race day in your plan launches it automatically, in the correct 8-run / 8-station format.

  • A welcome tour when you join, walking you through the app. Skippable, shows once.

  • Every run shows a target pace to chase, including runs inside hybrid sessions and on your Apple Watch.

  • Your coach asks before it answers. Vague questions get a quick follow-up so the advice is about you.

  • Plus: redesigned Notifications, strength logbook search, Station Times for everyone, a fairer age and gender aware Hybrid Score, full plan browsing during your trial, and fixes for watch workouts saving with 0:00 times, edits reverting after sync, and stale heart-rate readings.


22 July β€” Your plan now builds in the cloud, and shows its sources

  • Plan builds run in the cloud. Tap Build my plan and you can switch apps or lock your phone: your plan keeps building and a card on Home tracks it live, with a notification when it's ready.

  • See the community insights behind your plan. The plan preview now quotes the real athlete comments your plan drew on (from 30,000+ hybrid athletes' insights), each with a one-line reason why it applies to you.

  • Your coach knows exactly where you are in your plan. Adjustments apply to your current week and everything after it, never a week you've finished.

  • Plus: long runs are one continuous run, new plans start with a clean checklist, and plan-change errors show plain English instead of code.


28 July β€” Apple Watch interval runs, fixed

  • Interval runs on the watch now take you through every interval. A 3 x 1km session used to end after your first rep; it now advances interval by interval with your rest timer in between, and only finishes after the last one.

  • The "New from watch" card on Home has been rebuilt with a clean layout and clear tap-through to your summary.


6 August β€” A redesigned Coach chat, share cards, and workouts on the right days

  • Show off your training. All-new share cards for your Hybrid Score, race results and finished workouts, with colour styles and stickers built for Instagram stories.

  • Coach chat got a full redesign. Cleaner cards, and plan changes come with a summary you can expand to see exactly what changed, week by week.

  • More exercises with video demos, covering both male and female athletes.

  • Your Home screen always shows the right day's workout. Some plans showed the next day's session on today's card; it now always matches your Train tab.

  • Plus: dark mode readability fixes, and race times you enter during sign-up now reach your plan builder reliably.
