Spring Has Come!
As we slowly transition into a new season, change is in the air, and so is excitement! In this edition, we're thrilled to bring you a roundup of the latest happenings, trends, and noteworthy events that have been shaping Vortza.
Vortza Algorithm Update
Some of you want to break through the sound barrier, while others only want to get moving and enjoy the scenery.
Beginning of February, we introduced casual plans to match our workouts with your ambitions better! These are plans without the most challenging interval or tempo endurance workouts.
Vortza will suggest workouts from these casual plans as long as one of the following conditions are met:
You set your goal dedication to “casual,”
You indicated that you’re injured (at any level),
Your expected race pace is slower than 05:00/km
In each of these cases, Vortza will prevent highly intense workouts from being planned for you.
Let us know what you think!

First results
First results show that the app performance is good 4,7 out of 5. Most of you runners like to train for half a marathon and 61% participates in 2 or more events a year. As next steps, most of the feedback is about the ability of having intermediate goals and getting feedback on the feasibility of the set goal, when getting closer to the goal date. We will most likely have them implemented in Q2 of this year.
