### 5/5 — Must have for Treadmill Running

*2026-03-08*

Finally an app that improves running on a treadmill. I really like its ability to control my treadmill’s incline and simulate real world runs (like Boston’s Heartbreak Hill) and import my own. It also connects to my HR monitor & Stryd power meter so I have the metrics that are most important to me. The design is clean and well thought out on both iPhone and iPad.
