After two years of no running, I'm at week 3 of a start to run and have to be honest, completely forgot about your app... I'm running the Dev Beta on both iphone and apple watch so I can help test if you want.

Thanks everyone for testing and reporting feedback. I've just submitted the build to the store and hope to ship it on Monday alongside iOS + WatchOS 26.

is there any chance you would create a complication for the apple watch? i have a "fitness" watch face that i turn on when it is time to exercise, and it would be great if it was a complication so it is easy to open the app. You can even maybe have it be a circular progress bar showing how much you have completed the program?

@i4k20c Watch to 5K already has complication support. Perhaps I'm missing a certain style/size. What watch face are you using?

whoops idk if i missed it or what but i do see it now!

@bencallis i am curious, do i need to "Start a Run" in Apple's activity tracker to track the run for my rings, or will doing the workout straight from watch to 5k be enough?

Likewise, I am curious if you have ever given thought to adding some more voice motivation like, "3 more runs to go" or something after finishing a certain run.

Just did my first run with the Ultra 3 and WatchOS26. Before I started I did a restore watch from the Watch to 5K app on the phone. All runs were restored only the setting to skip the warmup and cooldown were not restored. Is it possible to add this to the restore option?

The run itself went perfect and I could't detect any bugs or glitches!

The biggest problem I see is with watchOS 26, there seems to be a bug in the way distance is calculated when adding workouts. When I use watch to 5k, as it switches from walk to run and back pace and run go haywire. Ve tried resetting fitness calibration to no avail. Never had this on the previous watchOS. This bug was there right from the early watchOS 26 betas.

My walk average pace is around 9.3 and my run is around 6.5 but see how it has calculated a super fast run and a super slow walk.

Anyone else seeing this?
