Pace 2 BPM helps runners maintain a steady cadence by converting your target pace into beats per minute. Whether you're training for a race or just trying to stay consistent, the built-in metronome gives you an audible and tactile beat to match your footsteps. How it works: Set your target running pace using the scroll wheels, and the app calculates the ideal cadence for you. Start the metronome to hear and feel the beat as you run. You can also tap along to match your current rhythm or the tempo of your music. Features: - Scroll wheels for pace (min/mile) and BPM with fine-tune controls - Built-in metronome with sound and haptic feedback - Downbeat-only mode for a less intrusive beat - Lock controls to prevent accidental changes mid-run - Tap tempo to match your current rhythm - Five color themes to personalize your experience - English and Spanish language support - Motivational quotes on startup to get you moving Find the rhythm that works for you and run with confidence.
