BeatingU: Running Challenge

How fast can you really run a mile? BeatingU: Running Challenge turns any outdoor run into a timed race. Pick a distance — half a mile, 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 miles — wait for a GPS lock, and go. The clock starts on GO and stops itself the moment you cross the finish distance. No stopwatch to fumble, no lap to remember. RACE THE CLOCK • Six distances, each with its own leaderboard • Big 3-2-1 countdown, then just run • The finish time is measured between GPS fixes, not when you look at your phone • Live split segments, current pace and distance remaining • Lock your phone and pocket it — timing keeps going in the background BEAT YOUR BEST • Your personal best for every distance, right on the home screen • A live "vs your best" readout shows whether you're ahead of your PB pace • Split-by-split breakdown when you finish, with your fastest split highlighted BEAT YOUR FRIENDS • Every finish posts to that distance's Game Center leaderboard • See which friends are ahead of you and by how much • Challenge a friend to beat your time through Game Center From the makers of BeatingU: Vision Challenge. Good to know • Run outdoors with a clear view of the sky for the most accurate GPS. • Distances are GPS estimates and may differ from a measured track or official course. • Leaderboards and challenges require a Game Center account. • Location is used only while a run is in progress. Continued use of GPS in the background can reduce battery life. • Stay aware of traffic and your surroundings, and check with a doctor before starting a new exercise program.
