Ahhh, got it. I tend to ignore these screens when I'm running so not noticed it before. My bad 😀
Got a tip for us?

[Free] YouRace: the new Apple Watch app for runners!

Hi Rbart,
I’ve been using YouRace more and more lately and I think it’s now one of the 2 best Apple Watch running apps, up there with WOD. My favorite features are the distance correction in Race mode and the simplified screen, which displays more data than Workout and in bigger fonts. The addition of customizable heart rate zones and Apple Maps make it such a great app! I noticed that the small round complication wasn’t showing on a 42mm watch 10. Also, do you have any plan on implementing the temperature (weather) to the workouts summary? Thanks!

I agree Wes. My only issue with Simplified is it isn't compatible with using larger fonts on the AW. As an 'older gentleman', I have the watch display settings to Text Size at the largest. This is perfect for me, but on YR when using simplified, most metrics do not display correctly. For example, HR will display as 1.. instead of 130. It would be great if YR could consider the AW text size setting and correct accordingly.
The round complication you are missing is the YouRace icon on the watch face ?
I will see how to add the weather in summary, good suggestion
That’s right, when I try to add the round icon complication to the watch face (Infograph) I end up getting a blank space. Thank you for looking into the weather in summary!
OK, I have fixed the issue ...
Another limitation of WidgetKit with requires small resolution icons on small watches.
It will be fixed in next release (4.4.9)
I have released version 4.4.9 to the App Store with 2 bug fixes:
- Icon complication not displayed on small screen watches
- improved layout for running metrics when using accessibility fonts
- Icon complication not displayed on small screen watches
- improved layout for running metrics when using accessibility fonts

Sorry for the slow response. No, a 49mm Ultra 2. I've seen the new release. Will try tomorrow
Would it be possible to import workouts from intervals.icu?
My fysio is using it to plan my workouts, so they are in my Garmin calendar.
Would prefer to use my Apple Watch ⌚️

Your app is really good - runners with an Apple Watch ⌚️ should use it.
I’ll try the Race mode to “Broløbet”, a race crossing the bridge from Denmark to Sweden.
Hi,
I just got the pro version and am trying to figure out how best to get this to work for my use case:
I got a GPX of a trail that starts 10 minutes or so from where I usually run and I want to use YouRace to learn the path.
How do I set this up best?
I got the routes added to the app, do I go into the routes and select one and then simply start a free run?
Will that get me a detailed enough map so I can follow a trail?
Will it get me notifications every 10 seconds until I'm at the path or can I ignore it for the first 10 minutes warm up until I'm actually at the start of the path?

In this case you have 2 possibilities if you want to avoid off road notifications before starting to follow the route:
- in settings, you can disable off road notifications and enable them when you are near the route
or
- start running without selected route and select it in running map view when you are approaching the route.

I’ve loaded a gpx file, but I have several watches. Which Watch will get the file? I have 2 AWU2 and a series 10.
GPX are transferred through iCloud, so both watches should get it.
To be honest, I have never tested YouRace in such configuration, but it should work for routes, if all watches are connected to the same iCloud account (it must be the case)
A new version has been approved by Apple and is available on the App Store.
No new feature, I have mainly work on performance improvements on iOS app and code cleanup.
Now I prepare changes for OS 26 and I try to add one more activity type ...

A new release is coming and is in public beta test on Testflight
The main visible change is the arrival of swimming activities (pool and open water)
It required lot of internal changes to support it.
For pro version, you can get lengths data like swimming style, SWOLF…
I will improve it in next releases…

Not yet, but maybe one day ...
My main concern is about testing as I don't own such equipment.
By the way, version 4.5.0 will be released in a couple of hours with swimming features.

Would love to see this app be able to import workouts from Final Surge, or integrate some sort of calendar run schedule feature vs just an endless list of programmed runs.
I understand...
Integrations with external services are always very complex, and sometimes need specific agreements with big companies I can't handle.
I have spent a lot of time (and it's never finished) to connect to Strava. Each new activity type is complex to add, and documentation is very poor; it requires a lot of reverse engineering...
I have several requests to get workout plans from external services, but it's always a different service (intervals.icu, novio, final surge, training peaks…).
And my app has to be ready to accept plans with targets, alerts, and settings that can be more complex than what I have built...
So it's not excluded; it's in my to-do list, but it's a huge task that probably needs to be refactored completely this part of the app.
Unfortunately, Apple has created an API for that (Workout API), but it's only for creating plans outside the Exercise.app and using them in their app. It's not possible to use it for other workout apps like mine.
