Runner's Studio - Release Notes

Varoom! Varoom! Runner's Studio has been sent to the mechanic for a tune-up and is now running faster than ever. Many screens throughout the application have been significantly sped up. A big THANKS goes out to those runners who submitted their data (containing thousands and thounsands of runs!) to aid me in development and in tracking down those slow spots.

I realize that a release without new functionality would be boring, so a mix of feature requests have been thrown in. See below for details.

As always, please send me your feedback, comments, and suggestions. Drop me a note at support@runnersstudio.com.
