Tap on ellipsis (3 dots) in top right corner next to Training Plan name to Add Weekly Titles. Enjoy & Stay Active!

Introducing Training Planner: Import your personal training plan and stay on top of your upcoming workouts with Tempo. Quick backstory: Around December 2019 / early 2020, I was building an app called Epic, a training planner app that would support any fitness training—all workout types, not just running. Unfortunately, it never shipped due to the crazy events of the year 2020. Fast-forward to the present times, and I am super excited to bring Epic's core—mostly rebuilt with modern tech and focused on running plans—to Tempo. It's a little crazy, and I never thought it would take me this long to ship Epic when I started, let alone ship it inside Tempo. The shelved copy of Epic constantly taunted me because I wanted it for my training and felt the need for it during every training cycle over the past four years. I hope you find it helpful in your next training cycle. I've been following Pfitzinger's 24-55 plan for the Chicago marathon this fall, and it looks beautiful in Tempo. :) Enjoy & Stay Active!
• Custom Workout Titles Add a title to your workouts for organization and faster identification later. Titles combined with the existing tags, stars, and notes will add a whole new dimension of personalization to your private training log. • Easier Workout Actions All the workout-related actions on the Workout Details screen are now streamlined into a single menu in the top right. # ForTheJoyOfRunning
Added Power and Cadence alerts for custom workouts. In addition to creating custom workouts with pace and heart rate alerts, we can now set up power and cadence alerts with a goal range or target value. #ForTheJoyOfRunning
Added new Readiness settings screen with the ability to increase the normal acceptable range of RHR and HRV CV for the daily readiness analysis. Are you finding Readiness to be too strict, constantly suggesting suboptimal or impaired state, but don't feel that way? Use the new settings to widen the range and relax the evaluation for your training and lifestyle.
Quick update to fix a critical bug that prevented showing Readiness stats for the present day for folks in some timezones.
Introducing Tempo v6. This is an amazing update to make your favorite running app even better. The key feature of this release is Readiness. It has been in the works for a long time (to put mildly).

Here’s an overview of the release, • Introducing Readiness Track your daily physiological recovery and training adaptation based on your HRV and Resting Heart Rate in Tempo's new Readiness tab. • Glanceable Durations Tempo's signature dashboard design now includes total workout durations. You can swipe between durations, paces, and distances for the last 7/30/365 days + current week/month/year. • Configure Dashboard Calendar Change the number of weeks displayed on the Training Dashboard's Intensity calendar from Tempo's in-app settings. • Indoor & Outdoor Workouts Tempo's filtering feature now supports viewing stats only for indoor or outdoor workouts.

Hello. This build has a few minor bug fixes that have been around but limited to very few folks and hence were not easily discoverable and fixable. You will notice the following improvements if you are one of those folks, • Latest workout widget will work correctly now instead of showing a very old workout. • Watch app should show the correct latest workout. • Workouts imported into the Health app might show better splits info when available. My thanks to the runners who helped troubleshoot these seemingly random and not very straightforward bugs. In addition, there is more UI polish, new motivational quotes, and some work for yet-to-be-released features. Enjoy & Stay Active! ––– Tempo 4.2.0 brought updated Annual Highlights with more fun stats and visualizations to celebrate 2022 and get inspired for 2023.

Makes a fun and unique visual of training history. • Averages: We already had totals for key stats, and now we also have totals averaged per workout for the year. All of the above also works for the past years. So while you can check your year-in-review for 2022, you can also relive the past training years.

No significant changes in this release. Just minor bug fixes and some bits to support the next feature release. I hope to get that one out before the end of the year.
This update has a lot of improvements across the app. Here's a quick summary of the notable changes: • New Apple Watch Complication for the Last 7 Days Distance Graph. • Added ability to enable/disable workout data sources. This new in-app setting is useful to avoid duplicates when workouts are synced to the Health app from multiple third-party apps. (Ideally, we should avoid synching the same workouts into the Health app via multiple sources.) • Cumulative Graph now shows the total distance in decimal format. • Goal widgets now auto-display a goal when only one active goal exists. • Tempo always backs up the data, like tags and notes, created and managed in Tempo. This backup mechanism started failing recently for some folks, and in the process of fixing it, we now have a brand new Tempo Backups section under the app settings. This new UI provides the ability to easily verify that backups are being created and also restore from a backup when needed. No action is required to create backups. Tempo will continue to create backups automatically. • Fixed a bug that would prevent the Latest Workout widget from displaying the workout's map until Tempo was opened again after a workout. Enjoy & Happy Training!
This update is packed with small improvements and bug fixes. • Added the ability to tap along the route on the workout's map to view the distance and other stats at that point on the route • Added end date to the rectangular Goal Lock Screen widget • Added ability to emphasize map details (i.e. brighter tones) for photo sharing • Fixed a bug where custom workouts segments would be missing • Fixed calculation for tag's total days in use • Fixed handling of exactly a minute intervals to not show as 59.999 seconds • Fixed missing navigation bar in workout details when Tempo is launched via latest workout widget Enjoy & Happy Training! ------ Tempo v4 Release Notes: New Running Metrics: Tempo has integrated all the new data points — power, vertical oscillation, stride length, and ground contact time — within different parts of the app to provide thorough insights, as always, for all your workouts. Lock Screen Widgets: Tempo includes over a dozen new Lock Screen widgets for tracking distance totals across different timeframes and the ability to track goal progress. Shortcuts & Siri: Let's describe this one with some examples, 1. Hey Siri, Ask Tempo for some pep talk. 2. Hey Siri, Ask Tempo to show my latest run. 3. Hey Siri, Ask Tempo how much did I run this month. 4. Hey Siri, Ask Tempo to show stats for "insert your favorite tag name here". Compare Workouts: Compare any two workouts with all the stats, including individual splits & segments, side-by-side, in a simple and beautiful format detailing positive and negative differences. Tag Details & Alerts: Tags Log has been completely redesigned to highlight more insights about each tag. You can also set up a distance alert on any tag — great addition for better shoe tracking with tags. New App Icon: Tempo has a new look on your home screen! The new app icon is beautiful, and the app settings include more fun alternatives to match your style and training mood.

Standalone Notes: In addition to notes attached to workouts, Tempo now supports adding standalone notes to your training journal.

Hello. This release adds following new features along with some general maintenance. [NEW] Quotes Widget A lot of us find quotes from athletes and coaches super motivating. I have been curating quotes for running motivation for a while now. So I am really glad to finally able to share it with everyone. This update adds a medium-sized quotes widget that auto-refreshes a few times a day. You can also customize the colors and fonts of the quotes widget from Tempo’s in-app settings. [NEW] Splits Browser Splits Browser enables visually inspecting a workout’s graph and map by selecting a distance segment (a split or an interval) at a time. It is a great way to do a more thorough performance analysis of a workout. [NEW] Dew Point in Workout Details Workout performance is directly affected by how dry or humid it feels, and unlike relative humidity, dew point provides a better measure of it. Tempo now calculates dew point temperature for every workout that has recorded weather data. Enjoy & Keep Running/Walking!
• Quick update to fix a crash that might happen when a workout with badly formatted location data is imported to Apple Health. • Also made minor UI improvements to format vertical ascend and descend (when available) more clearly.
