Description
Norwegian Singles brings the Norwegian Singles Method (NSM) to your pocket (and to your Apple Watch!). Used by elites like the Ingebrigtsen brothers and adapted for everyday runners, NSM replaces traditional hard VO2max sessions with controlled sub-threshold intervals: accumulating more weekly training stress while recovering faster between sessions.
HOW IT WORKS
Enter a recent race result, and the app calculates your VDOT and personalized training paces. Choose from three session types — short, medium, or long intervals — or build a fully custom workout. Every rep, rest, warmup, and cooldown is calibrated to your fitness level.
SEND TO APPLE WATCH
Send any workout directly to your Apple Watch with one tap. Optional pace alerts keep you in the right zone during intervals.

Nouveautés (v1.6.0)
New in 1.6.0
- Apple Watch planned workout scheduling: keep the next 7 days of NSM workouts ready in Apple's Workout app, with refreshes when you open the app or change your plan.
- Indoor run support: send Apple Watch workouts as indoor or outdoor, and match treadmill, virtual, indoor, trail, and track runs from Strava and intervals.icu.
- Rich completed-run review: tap a matched workout to see charts, splits, HR zones, pace and HR traces, elevation, weather, and prescribed vs actual interval tables.
- Book-table paces: sub-threshold paces now come from the Norwegian Singles Method book table, with better handling for slower 5K times, cleaner pace labels, and user pace overrides.
- Expanded pace bands: workouts now support 5K, 10K, 3-minute, 6-minute, 10-minute, 30K, and marathon-pace ranges across generation, previews, custom workouts, and profile settings.
- Race plans: exact race dates, selectable start weeks, explicit peak volume and max long-run choices, build-rate warnings, improved marathon-specific workouts, and better taper handling.
- Marathon planning updates: race-specific marathon-pace sessions now calculate correct distance and time, taper weeks handle long runs better, and quality-in-long-run behavior follows the structured workout.
- Ongoing training: weekly training briefs, optional volume caps, steadier quality ratios, better Monday rollover, and race weeks no longer disrupt normal progression.
- Plan screen polish: actual dates on workout cards, weekly distance summaries, editable rest days, cleaner workout previews, and a dedicated Integrations screen.
- Activity matching fixes: matches stay inside the visible plan week, multi-activity days total correctly, stale completions are ignored, and current-week matching works better.
- Sync improvements: fewer unnecessary intervals.icu rewrites, better HR target exports, private Strava scope upgrades, and reduced routine Strava API pressure.
- HR and watch fixes: easy-run HR targets now preserve useful training-load ranges, warmups stay correct in HR Easy mode, and Apple Watch sends support indoor location.
- More reliable reset and support tools: Reset All Data clears completed-run state, debug reports can be submitted in-app, and diagnostics include more plan, match, connection, and cache metadata.
- Notification and prompt fixes: daily training notifications use the correct target date, supporters no longer see supporter announcements, and prompts avoid showing right after app updates.
