About

Marathon Mode

Features
Read full description

Marathon Mode is a run tracker built around one thing: your next race. Set a goal: a 5K, 10K, half, marathon, or any distance. Pick a date, and Marathon Mode shows how close your training is to getting you there. See the miles you've run this week against your weekly target, your days to race day, and a projected finish time based on your recent runs. Every run captures more than numbers. Log distance, duration, and pace, then tap how it felt and rate your effort from 1 to 10. Over time that turns into a picture of your training load. RACE DAY A race day used to arrive, pass, and leave the countdown running. Now the race asks how it went. Save your finish time against the target you set, add a note about the day, and keep it. Past races stay in Settings with their results. AI COACHING Get plain-language feedback on your training that reads your recent trends and measures them against your goal: what's going well, the one thing to adjust, and a concrete suggestion for next week. It runs entirely on your device. APPLE HEALTH Already track runs on your Apple Watch or another app? Marathon Mode imports your running workouts from Apple Health automatically, so everything lives in one place. It only ever reads. It never writes to Health. TRENDS Three charts: weekly mileage against your target, pace over time, and how effort lines up with how you felt. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account to create. No ads. Your runs and goals sync privately over your own iCloud to your other devices. The developer never sees your data. FEATURES • Race goals with target time and weekly mileage • Log distance, duration, pace, feeling, effort, and notes • Days-to-race and weekly-progress dashboard • Projected finish time from your recent runs • Finish times and notes kept for every race you run • AI coaching feedback on your training trends • Apple Health running-workout import (read-only) • Weekly volume, pace, and effort trend charts • History grouped by week with totals • Undo on anything you delete • Miles or kilometers • Private iCloud sync (no account required)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Marathon Mode at every 10 days against Midtown's monthly. Midtown's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
