eep your eyes on the runners. Let SplitTracker handle the splits. Built for track and cross country practice, SplitTracker helps coaches time a whole group, review each athlete's effort, and keep a useful record of every workout. Go from planning repetitions to recording laps and reviewing results on iPhone or iPad. TIME THE TEAM Start independent timer groups for athletes running different workouts or starting at different times. Tap each runner to record track laps or completed intervals, see recovery time, and move through the workout together. Pause, resume, skip a rep, or undo an accidental tap when practice changes on the fly. BUILD YOUR WORKOUT Set up repeated distances, mixed intervals, and repeat sets. Choose track or cross country/road mode, assign athletes to groups, and add notes to capture the purpose of the session. MAKE EVERY SPLIT USEFUL Review individual repetitions, lap times, average pace, and consistency. See who held a steady rhythm and compare results at the same distance. Keep practice bests and workout history in each athlete's profile. PUT RACE ESTIMATES IN CONTEXT See approximate race-time ranges from suitable repeated intervals. Estimates use comparable repetitions, typical split times, and recorded recovery, with an explanation of the data behind them. Training effort, terrain, and race conditions all matter, so treat these ranges as a starting point for coaching judgment. KEEP THE SEASON ORGANIZED Search your roster and practice history, filter track and cross country sessions, and archive athletes while keeping their past results. Create shareable practice reports and export or import JSON backups. READY AT THE TRACK Your roster and workouts are stored on your device. No account or internet connection is needed to time practice and review saved results.
