Get head torch and take water reminders
Get a notification to charge your head torch before a run that finishes after dark. At cycling clubs, it's a reminder to charge your bike lights.
- Sign in, open the Me tab on your club page, tap the Settings gear, then Notifications.
- Under Reminders, turn on Charge head torch (or Charge bike lights).
- When your browser or phone asks, allow notifications.
- Under Remind me, choose The evening before, That morning or That afternoon.
- Tap Send a test to check it works.
Which runs
You're reminded about runs you've tapped I'm going on that finish after sunset or start before sunrise. The club needs to have set a start time. If your chosen time would be too close to the start, or in the night, the reminder comes the evening before.
The Next run tab also shows a Head torch tile (Bike lights at cycling clubs) when the run will be dark, such as "Last 2 km in the dark" and when it gets dark.
Take water
Turn on Take water under Reminders to get a notification 30 minutes before a warm or long run you've tapped I'm going on:
- Hot run: 25° or warmer, whatever the distance.
- Warm run: 20° or warmer on 10 km or more. A hydration vest or a bottle.
- Long run: 16 km or more, whatever the weather.
At cycling clubs it's a reminder to fill both bottles: on rides of 30 km or more from 20°, any ride from 25°, and any ride of 50 km or more. On sunny days with a high UV index, it reminds you about sun cream too.
The temperature is the warmest it's forecast to be, or feel, during the run (Met Office forecast). The Next run tab shows the same tip in a blue tile, up to a week ahead.
These are general tips, not medical advice: take what you need for you.
Phones, tablets and computers
Reminders go to each device you turned them on from. On another device, open Notifications and tap Turn on here.
On iPhone, reminders come with the Club Routes app, out soon. Until then, calendar sync puts the club's runs in your calendar.
If it says notifications are blocked, allow them for this site in your browser's settings, then try again.
Notes
- Turn a switch off to stop that reminder.
- In the Club Routes app, turning on run-day reminders turns on notifications for that phone. See Get run-day reminders in the app.
- With notifications on, announcements from your club and changes to dates you're going to come as notifications instead of emails.
