[Notice] A bug was discovered in this beta related to open water swim activities. If the activity is paused and resumed, then when it is eventually saved some corruption of the activity file can occur. If the activity is completed uninterrupted, there appear to be no issues. The cause has been identified and a fix will be provided in the next beta.
Updates to Daily Suggested Workouts. Includes some updated descriptions and a more gradual base run buildup.
Add a setting to enable/disable workout audio prompts. In the menu see Audio Prompts > Workout Alerts.
