## What is PaceBeat?

PaceBeat is the audio-first running coach: a background metronome that coaches your cadence in real time — while your own music or podcast keeps playing.

COACHING THAT RUNS UNDER YOUR MUSIC
Most apps make you choose between coaching and your playlist. PaceBeat's metronome runs continuously in the background, so it keeps coaching even while Spotify, Apple Music, or a podcast plays on top. Glanceable "On Beat" and "Drifting" cues tell you where your cadence stands — no need to look at your screen mid-run.

ONE COACH FOR RUNNING AND STRENGTH
Strength Training runs through the same metronome-driven coaching engine that paces your runs. It's not a second app with its own log — it's one connected training system.

STRUCTURED TRAINING, NO SPREADSHEET
Run Builder turns your goals into ready-to-run sessions — Interval Training, Tempo Run, Long Run, and more — organized by race distance: 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon, and Recovery & easy. Or build your own session from scratch.

TRAINING PLANS THAT ADAPT WITHOUT THE GUILT
Miss a session and Training Plans quietly move on — no guilt attached, no red flag to stare at. Your race goal becomes a full periodized program — 5K, 10K, or half marathon — prescribed in cadence, the same metric PaceBeat already coaches on every run. Fall further behind, and PaceBeat can ease your week with lighter, easy-paced sessions or offer to realign the rest of your plan — realigning is always your call, and your training history is never lost. Evening-before reminders, on by default, keep race day in view.

STRENGTH BUILT FOR RUNNERS
Five named strength templates — Speed/5K Focus, Strength/10K–Half, Marathon Durability, Technique Tune-Up, and Knee Control Builder — target the movement categories that keep runners running, with Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert levels for every move.

YOUR NEXT RUN, MAPPED OUT
Your training calendar tracks splits, charts, a recovery estimate, and a cadence trend — so every run gives you a clear next step, not just a record.

PaceBeat: one coach, for every run, every rep, and every race.

### 5/5 — AMAZING APP COULDN’T RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!!

*2026-02-13*

I normally don’t write reviews but I love this app so much that I just had to write one. As a runner training for a half marathon, keeping a consistent cadence is so important and I’ve looked for apps that can help me stay on cadence. Just regular metronome apps DON’T COME CLOSE to how useful this app is. You can start a run in 5 seconds and it has literally perfect GPS tracking of your run. You can build runs for different workouts like recovery sessions and save those to your library for future workouts. Not only does it log your cadence, stride distance, average speed, current speed, total time and more, it’s easily accessible. You can change your metronome sound to your liking and it plays in the background WITH another music app!! Seriously best running app on the market and think all runners should use this app!!! 🤩

### 5/5 — I have never ran for so long.

*2026-02-13*

This app was amazing, you could set your pace and it tells you your stride, distance, average speed, total steps, and the most important one of them all, average cadence. This app helped me run more than ever, helping me keep my pace. I definitely recommend this app.
