Features: - Race Predictor: Will predict your potential on the most common race distances based on a given one. The automatic calculation uses a dynamic scale but we also made it possible to use your own (single Riegel factor) value. The default gives a realistic prediction, not assuming everyone is a trained high mileage athlete! - Training paces: Based on a (planned or recent) race performance, will calculate both the appropriate splits and paces for interval and tempo training - Track splits: Using GPS for track training is not great. This tool will convert a given pace to the target split of a full lap for each lane of a standard (IAAF) 400m track - Race Splits: Plan any race by breaking the distance and target race time down by kilometer or mile markers - Evaluate or plan a race by factoring in elevation, elevation gain/loss, temperature and humidity (dew point) - Convert any pace from minutes per mile to minutes per km and vice versa - Calculate the right speeds to set treadmills to, based on pace - Calculate age graded performance Works in both metric and imperial system.

The "Pacer PRO" application is intended for all people who run, professionally or recreationally. It is an excellent tool for calculating the basic parameters that runners encounter in training and racing. OPTIONS: - It is possible to calculate the length, time or pace based on the other two information. - For fartlek/intervals it is possible to calculate the number of repetitions. - Based on the time and length, it is possible to calculate the estimated time required to run another length. For example, based on the time in a half marathon, it is possible to estimate how long it takes to run a marathon. - For the Pace, passing times can be seen for each km or mi. - It is possible to calculate training zones and look at the table of the Cooper test. The application supports dark and light theme. On those phones whose operating system supports themes, the application automatically adapts to the theme of the phone. On other devices, in the application setup area, it is possible to manually select the desired theme. NOTE: Data is not available if the mobile device is not connected to the Internet.
