Run Pace Tracker - Running, 5K

Needs a Wear OS watch. The phone app is only the bridge to Health Connect.

Run Pace Tracker shows you in big numbers how many seconds you are ahead of or behind your target time, the pace this kilometre needs and your finish time forecast. At a kilometre sign you press the back button: the watch snaps its distance to the sign and counts by the course from there.

Use this tracker to track your running with race pace, run walk intervals, a 5K plan and personal bests. Want it customized? Feel free to contact us.

Features:
- Five programmes: free run, run/walk, 5K plan, intervals and race; the app remembers your last choice
- Race: 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, marathon or your own distance, a target time (remembered per distance) and even pace or a negative split
- Distance sign: press the back button at a km or mile marker and the watch sets its distance to that whole km or mile; ahead, behind and the forecast count from the corrected distance. A press with no sign near is ignored, a second press right after takes it back
- Run/walk: RUN or WALK in big letters with the time left, a vibration at every change; presets (1:00/1:00, 1:00/1:30, 2:00/1:00, 3:00/1:00, 4:00/1:00, 0:30/0:30) or your own run, walk and repeats; no pace on the first page
- 5K plan: 9 weeks of three runs, from run/walk blocks to 5 km in one go, each session with a 5-minute walk before and after. The watch knows which run is next, moves on when you save, and you can repeat a run or pick any other
- Intervals by time or distance: presets (6x800 m, 5x1 km, 10x400 m, 8x1:00, 4x4:00) or your own work, rest and reps; the pace of each rep and of the last one; the back button skips to the next phase
- Best efforts: your fastest 1 km, 1 mile, 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon inside any run, plus your longest run and the number of runs
- Summary after saving: distance, time, average pace, ascent, cadence, calories and highest heart rate; the race against your target, run and walk time, or the next plan run; splits per km or mile as bars, the fastest highlighted; every interval rep with its pace; the best efforts of this run with new bests marked
- History on the watch: your bests above your runs (up to 100), each run with its splits, reps and best efforts; swipe up on the start screen to open it
- Average and maximum heart rate in the history
- Distances in km or miles, or like the watch

Settings on the watch: units, auto lap and its distance, countdown ticks, signal at the race finish, stop after the last rep, signals (vibration only, like the watch, or vibration and tone), clear bests and history, and your max heart rate for the zone colors.

How to use:
1. Choose the programme: a tap selects, the green arrow button goes on
2. Set its values (for a race: distance, target time, pacing); the green arrow button (or the side button) goes on
3. Wait until the screen shows that GPS is ready, then press the side button or hold the screen for a second; a tap never starts or stops a run
4. Swipe up or down for the second page
5. In a race, press the back button at a km or mile sign; in intervals, it skips to the next phase (without a back button: hold the lower half of the screen)
6. Stop the same way you started; choose Continue, Save or Discard

Settings and History: the "⋯" at the bottom of the first screen.

A small companion app for the phone comes with it. It writes each saved run to Health Connect on your phone. There every run appears as running, named after the programme (a race by its distance, a plan run by its day), with distance, ascent and calories. It can also share a run's GPS track as a GPX file. It is optional: the watch app works on its own, and neither app uses an internet connection. Your heart rate curve goes to Health Connect too. No ads, no subscription, no account.
