## What is BeatingU?

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.
