Keep the watch you already race in. BackyardPace runs from your iPhone at base while your Garmin, COROS or any other watch records the run. Or race it from your Apple Watch. Either way it handles the yard timer, the recovery countdown and the next start, so you can stop doing arithmetic at 3am and think about one thing: the next yard. THE FORMAT Finish the loop before the bell, recover, then go again. The last runner standing wins. Everyone else records a DNF, no matter how far they got. Recovery matters more with every hour that passes, and that is the part BackyardPace takes off your hands. RACE FROM IPHONE No Apple Watch needed. Yard timing, recovery countdowns, lap logging and the go-again decision all run from the phone, so you keep the watch you already trust. The phone sits at base and runs the race, with the corral clock on your lock screen. BackyardPace does not connect to your Garmin or COROS. Your watch records the run. BackyardPace runs the race. RACE FROM APPLE WATCH Set your start time before the gour race computer. Yard time,recovery countdown, heart rate and distance remaining, all on your wrist. The phone can stay charging in the tent. Everyd heart rate is written to AppleHealth. It won't start until heart rate and GPS are live, and if the app closes mid-race it picks up where it left off. AHEAD OR BEHIND, AT A GLANCE A band runs around the edge of the race screen showing how far round the loop you are, witha red mark where the clock is. Aanking rest. Behind it you arespending it. No numbers, no arithmetic. REST YOU ARE EARNING While you are running, BackyardPrrent pace is buying you. Pushand the number grows. Ease off and you watch it shrink. It is the one number that changes how you run the second half of a DISTANCE THAT COUNTS DOWN Most apps show how far you have run. Late in a backyard you want to know how far until you can stop, so BackyardPace counts. RECOVERY THAT KEEPS YOU HONEST The recovery screen counts down to the next yard and changes colour as time runs short. Green while you have room, orang red when you need to move.Readable from across a tent at 3am, with the yard you just ran underneath: time and pace, so you know what the next one ha MADE FOR WET HANDS AT 3AM Rain and sleeves press things. On Apple Watch, a wet screen can't end your race: ending can be undone, and the workout keepsSave. A mistaken lap can beundone too. IT TELLS YOU OUT LOUD The watch buzzes and says the tind one, then again the moment the next yard starts. During the yard it calls your distance and the rest you are earning. Head down, eyes shut, and you stme. YOUR RACES, ADDED UP Every race is saved with its laps, route and heart rate. A lifetime view keeps your best yard count, total yards, total dyour average pace and heart rateacross every race. A yard that runs out is logged automatically, and lap times can be edited afterwards, so one mis-tad. YOUR RACE ON STRAVA Connect Strava once and upload from the race summary, with every yard as its own lap. Or export a TCX file. BUILT BY A BACKYARD ULTRA RUNNER Tim Dove built BackyardPace after three years of racing this format, including 20 yards at Riverhead, New Zealand. Every fequestion asked during an actualrace. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO It does not tell you how to paceb. It does not replace raceofficials or official timing. It needs no signal or internet during a race. In iPhone mode it does not record GPS route or atch is already doing that. One purchase. No subscription. Non race day.
