Pace Chase is built for runners, swimmer, cyclists, rowers, triathlon/hybrid athletes, and fitness enthusiasts that want to know what pace or speed will help them achieve their goal performances. Features include: 1. Predict finish times based on interval/laps of their choosing, such as per mile, kilometer, or any given meter or yardage value. Athletes can easily see how changes in pace or speed will effect their overall targets, with the ability to see split-by-splits expectations. 2. Craft a beautiful template of your pacing or performance to download and share on social media or set as a wallpaper on the fly. 3. See power and energy outputs for common gym equipment, such as air bikes, rowers, and ski ergs to see how cadence, pace, or wattage effect calories per minute or hour.
