Smarter Coaching Starts with Race Pace AI Race Pace AI is a powerful tool built for coaches and parents of distance runners. It goes beyond simple split tracking - delivering real-time finish-time predictions at every lap, so your athletes can lock into a goal and know exactly where they stand. Key Features: Predictive Stopwatch Calling out split times can help, but after several laps, athletes often lose track of how they’re pacing. Instead of yelling out abstract numbers, give them projected finish times with every lap — helping runners know exactly where they stand and what adjustments they need to make. Split Calculator Set goal times and generate lap-by-lap pacing strategies before race day. Performance Logging Race data is automatically saved to each athlete’s profile, improving prediction accuracy over time and giving coaches deep insights into performance trends. One-Tap Export Easily share race logs, splits, and results via text, email, or messaging apps. Built for Coaches. Trusted by Athletes. Race Pace AI helps you turn raw splits into smart strategy. Whether you coach high school athletes or elite distance runners, Race Pace AI gives you the tools to coach with clarity, precision, and confidence.

Your first three steps determine your acceleration. Impulse tells you exactly what's happening in each one. Film your sprint in slow motion and Impulse automatically extracts the mechanics that matter: shin angle at ground contact, ground contact time, and flight time across each step. No lab equipment. No sensors. Just your iPhone. The same data that previously required a university motion capture lab is now in your pocket. THE SCIENCE When your shin is vertical at ground contact, force drives straight down — pushing you up, not forward. A forward shin angle redirects that force vector backward, converting it into horizontal velocity. Shin angle is the single biggest mechanical determinant of how fast you accelerate off the line. WHO IT'S FOR Sprinters, football players, basketball players, or any athlete who needs to be faster in their first few steps. If your first step matters, your mechanics matter. WHAT YOU GET Shin angle at each ground contact across your first three steps Ground contact and flight time per step Speed at each step calculated from your footage Session history to track improvement over time See how your mechanics correlate with your speed across sessions HOW IT WORKS Prop your phone at hip height from the side. Film your first 3-4 steps in slow motion. Impulse processes the footage and delivers a full mechanics breakdown in minutes.
