Awesome App
This has been a great training app! Highly recommended
Apple Watch version!
Please make a version for Apple Watch! 😭 Would be 5 stars if that happens.
Solid app! Suggest changing the pacer approach.
I love the apps in this series - mainly because I get a beep (and verbal instruction) to run, another beep to walk, and a beep when I’m halfway and I should turn around. The 5K and 10K are my favourites.
For the ‘pacer’ apps, I struggle a bit. Other programs that use interval training will do short intervals, where you increase your RPE for each interval. (So maybe a 5 effort for your baseline run, then 6, 7, 8 and 9 for 4x intervals - simply stretch that out for 8x.) “Short” might be 30 seconds for the first few weeks, and build up to 2-3 minutes over the weeks. The last intervals might stay at 30 seconds so you can really go all out sprinting.
I’m also not running a 10K in 60 minutes yet - hence buying the pacer apps - so the 60-minute run is at best 9K + warm up and cool down. It feels a little gloomy to be so far outside the app’s expectations, but as a 40-year old woman, even achieving 62 minutes is apparently considered pretty good. I wonder if there could be different “long run” lengths, with a suggestion based on age and gender that the user can then accept or modify?

Great app
Use it all the time. Really great app. Had been experiencing weirdness but an iOS update sorted it out.
Super app
A super app I’ve used several times over the years to keep 10k pacer running interesting. Never get bored of it!
