How do I get my run’s forecast the evening before?
Updated
In Map your run, type your email under Email me the final forecast: it arrives the evening before and two hours before you start, or every week. Your saved runs and races email you at 18:00 the evening before, and so does tapping I’m in on a club run or race.
From Map your run, no account needed
- Map your run in Map your run, more than an hour before it starts.
- For a run you do every week, switch on Every week first. It shows the day and time, such as “Saturdays at 07:00”.
- Under Email me the final forecast, type your email and tap Remind me.
A single run gets two emails: at 18:00 the evening before, where the run is, and two hours before you start. A weekly run gets one the evening before every run, until you stop it.
If the start is too close, RunFast says so: your map already has the latest forecast.
For your saved runs and races
On a casual run’s or a race’s form, Email me its forecast the evening before sends it at 18:00 where it’s run, every time it’s on. It’s on when you add a new one, on runfast.tech and in the iPhone and Android apps. See adding a casual run and adding a race.
It goes to the email address on your account, once you’ve confirmed it.
For club runs and races
Tap I’m in for a club run or race, or tick Every week, and its forecast arrives at 18:00 the evening before, in the club’s colours, with who’s running. See joining your club’s runs.
What’s in it
The subject sums it up, such as “Tomorrow: Saturday long run, the weather costs about 1 min 20 s”. Inside: the weather cost at your pace, your start and finish times, the temperature, feels like, dew point and heat stress, where on the route the weather bites hardest, a picture of the route coloured by effort, and a link back to the map. It comes from hello@runfast.tech.
Stop it
Every email has a one-tap link at the bottom that stops it:
- From Map your run: it stops the emails and deletes the run straight away. A single run’s details are deleted two days after the run anyway.
- Your own run or race: it switches that one’s email off. Switch it back on in Edit.
- A club run or race: it takes you off Every week for it, and marks you as not running this time. Tap I’m in again on the club’s page whenever you like.
On your phone
The forecast comes by email, on any device. The RunFast app’s notifications are for following runners: see alerts.
