SPANISH IS HERE Z5K now speaks Spanish — the whole interface plus real-time voice coaching. Four languages in total: Spanish, English, German and Turkish. The app follows your device language. FIXED — RUNS THAT SKIPPED THEMSELVES On the First 10K and Fast 5K programs, the run step ended after 60 seconds and the app jumped straight to the cool-down, so the run never happened. Distance-based runs now finish when you cover the distance, not when a timer runs out. FIXED — AUTO-PAUSE ON LONG RUNS The safety timer that pauses a forgotten workout was set too low for long runs. It now scales with the planned distance, so a slow 10K is never cut short. FIXED — EDIT PROFILE CRASH Opening Edit Profile crashed the app for anyone who had finished the 5K program and moved on to First 10K or Fast 5K. ALSO Google sign-in works again on Android. Notification and translation wording corrected in all languages. 24 workouts. 8 weeks. One goal: crossing that finish line.
