Read full description

This simple app was made for runners in NYC who are preparing for an upcoming NYRR race and may not be familiar (or want to get more familiar) with the course. If you've ever struggled to make sense of a race course PDF with a tiny elevation chart in the corner, Rundown will help you better visualize the elevation profile and full context of a course by presenting it on a slick 3D map. On top of that, if you're looking to PR, it'll also calculate your mile by mile (or km by km) goal pace based on your race route's elevation. Features: - A list of NYRR race routes (may not be exhaustive) - Pinch and zoom features that your average map app has - Start and finish markers - A grade-adjusted pace calculator (estimated) - Input goal time to get grade-adjusted pace, or a single goal pace to get goal time and grade-adjusted mile by mile pace - Settings to toggle between mi and km units
