This app helps you keep track of your combined run/walk exercise's. It's very simple, just hit the start button and combine running and walking for your selected intervals (for example walk 30 seconds run 60 seconds). Exercise for as long as you like the app will keep a track of your total run and walk times (together with steps and distance) and allow you to compare them with previous activities.

UltraPlan Run is the most complete ultramarathon planning app available. From your first 50K to your tenth 100-miler, everything to plan smarter, race better, and finish prepared, now with a live crew page too. YOUR RACE DASHBOARD All your races in one place, each card shows name, date, distance, and a live countdown. Tap for directions, pin your next race, and keep a full history. INTELLIGENT RACE PLANNING Upload a GPX file and UltraPlan builds your race segments: distances, elevation, ETAs, and daylight. With named waypoints, the plan builds in seconds. Adjust pace, add stops, watch your finish update live. ADAPTIVE PACING FROM YOUR OWN DATA Upload a FIT file from a past race, or record a calibration run, for a personalised pacing profile. Every segment gets its own predicted time and ETA, so your finish reflects how you run the terrain, not flat averages. CREW LIVE LINK & RACE DAY BEACON Send your crew one link by text. It opens in any browser, no app or account needed, and shows your live position, each checkpoint ticking off as you arrive, your splits and pace against plan, and live ETAs for every stop. Flip on the beacon at the start and run. TRAINING LOG & RACE READINESS Track the build-up, not just race day. UltraPlan pulls runs from Apple Health and merges FIT and GPX imports: weekly volume, heart-rate and sleep trends, max-HR. A readiness read from your HRV and resting heart rate, against your baseline, flags when you're recovering, steady, or fatigued, with taper, recovery, and illness alerts. APPLE WATCH & WIDGETS Readiness on your wrist, plus Smart Stack complications and a live countdown. On iPhone, pin a race to your Home Screen with a countdown and elevation profile. LIVE RACE TRACKING On race day, UltraPlan becomes a real-time companion. Live ETA on the lock screen and Dynamic Island, auto-advance through checkpoints, off-course detection. Lock your phone and run. TRAIL TRACK & FIND YOUR WAY BACK On recces and training runs, record a breadcrumb and let UltraPlan guide you home along your own path, not a straight-line shortcut. A built-in SOS screen shares your exact position to read out even with no signal. NUTRITION PLANNING Fuel segment by segment with a database of leading race brands. Add custom foods, set carb and sodium targets, and let Smart Fill build a balanced plan. Assign drop bags and get a full pack-and-shop list for race week. SUPPORT CREW Assign crew to each checkpoint from your Contacts, share plans and shopping lists for clean handovers, and set sleep-stop wake messages so they know when to move you on. COURSE, WEATHER & ELEVATION Per-checkpoint forecasts and live conditions for recces. Heat factors adjust your pace for hot weather, and kit advice flags wet-cold risk: spare waterproofs, dry layers, where to stage them. Elevation profile and route map. SAFETY & HEALTH MONITORING Record body weight with thresholds for healthy loss and gain. UltraPlan alerts you when projected loss enters a caution or high-risk zone, critical in heat. One-tap Emergency SOS shares your problem and location. RACE DAY PACK & KIT Tick off the mandatory kit checklist and add race-specific items, then export a PDF pack: segments, ETAs, nutrition, drop bags, kit, contacts, weather, and logistics in one file. A condensed Quick Card folds into a drop bag; export as CSV. LOGISTICS & SHARING Log travel, hotels, and transport, with reminders for registration and a morning-of alarm. Share a plan with another UltraPlan user, and compare runs segment by segment when you've raced it before. ULTRAPLAN PRO (one-time, lifetime, Family Sharing) The free tier plans one race with most tools. Pro unlocks unlimited races, live tracking, Crew Live Link, FIT and heat-adjusted pacing, training log and readiness, race comparison, full PDF and Quick Card, CSV export, Smart Fill, custom food and kit with iCloud sync, widgets, full weather, and Dark theme. Plan the miles. Trust the plan. Run the race.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RunWalkPro at none against UltraPlanRun's 1. UltraPlanRun's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
