Read full description

SPLITS8 is a split tracker for HYROX-style hybrid fitness races, made for Apple Watch and iPhone. Start a workout on your watch and move to the next run or station with one swipe or a double tap. SPLITS8 records every split with your heart rate and calories, then shows you exactly where the time went. TRAIN β€’ Build your own training from runs (200 m to 1 km) and eight stations: SkiErg, Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpee Broad Jump, Row, Farmers Carry, Sandbag Lunges and Wall Balls. Up to 16 segments per set. β€’ HIIT intervals and running workouts with 1 km splits. β€’ No watch with you? Start any workout on iPhone. TEST β€’ Full Simulation: the full race order, 8 runs and 8 stations, with optional transition (Roxzone) timing. β€’ PFT: a six-movement fitness test with Gold, Silver and Bronze grades (SPLITS8's own guide). β€’ Charts show how your total time, run average and each station change over time. RACE β€’ Set a goal time and split it into targets for every segment: balanced, runner, strong, or based on your best. β€’ Add your event and see the countdown on Home. β€’ Your watch taps you when you fall behind target pace. REVIEW β€’ Heart rate chart with split boundaries, time in zones, pace for every kilometre, and how much each station slows your next run. β€’ Estimated stroke and rep counts for SkiErg, rowing and wall balls, from wrist motion. β€’ A calendar of your workouts with weekly and monthly summaries.

COMPARE (optional account) β€’ Add friends by email or nickname and compare rankings for Full Simulation, races and each station. β€’ Use a friend's splits as your targets. β€’ You decide who sees your records: friends, everyone, or only you. SHARE β€’ Put your result on your own photo as a Poster, Ticket or Block card, then save or share it. β€’ Send a training to anyone with a link.
