The popular exercise tracking application known as The Outsiders is rolling out a major update for athletes who want deeper insights into daily training sessions. Version 1.7.6 brings several new ways to analyze your activities, including a completely revamped section for breaking down your pace and new methods to show off your progress on social media.
If you use an iPhone to log your miles, this update gives you a much clearer picture of how hard you pushed yourself.

A new breakdown tab reveals deeper details about your training
The latest version renames the old Splits interface to a new section called Breakdown. This area now displays intervals, manually marked segments, and equal-distance splits for activities like running, cycling, and swimming. Users can mark segments manually using their watch buttons, then analyze that specific effort later in The Outsiders app.
Runners also get a new metric called Relative Intensity. This feature was previously only available for cycling. It compares your average heart rate during a run against your lactate threshold heart rate. Gentler Stories, the developer behind the app, notes that this helps show how demanding a session was relative to your own personal limits.
Share your training progress with new customizable social graphics
After finishing a tough workout, you can now share your results with a built-in sharing tool. The update includes several visual options to post your training sessions online. You can choose from light, dark, or satellite map styles. It also lets you pick a transparent background and select specific workout statistics to display.
The developer also included a few smaller improvements to smooth out the experience. The Workouts tab received a bug fix to stop visual glitches. Additionally, if you use a third-party fitness tracker that saves temperature data to Apple Health, that information will now correctly appear inside the application.
By giving users more ways to review their effort and share their wins, the application continues to build a strong toolset for self-coached athletes. You can download the latest version right now from the App Store.
