We re-launched the much-loved Workout Details option for advanced workout tracking as a beta product. A little extra time for the feature development made sure everything was running smoothly.

Workout Details makes it easy to:

• Specify what type of running, cycling or other workout you’re doing
• Keep notes for every step of a workout – from warm ups to cool downs and everything in between
• Track intervals, fartleks and other advanced training techniques

Along with Workout Details, we’ve also brough back Nordic Skiing as a workout type.
