If you’re a passionate runner, chances are you’ve had moments like these: • Wanting to hit the trails, but terrified of losing cell signal and getting lost with confusing route files? • Going out for a solo long run early morning or at night, while your family worries and constantly texts asking where you are? • Running solo loops on a track day after day, wishing you had someone to push your pace? • Working late and missing yesterday's workout, leaving you torn between grueling double-catchup runs or giving up entirely? Stride Pro has completely evolved. It’s no longer just a rigid calendar tool. We’ve packed pro standalone tracking, offline trail navigation, live family safety tracking, squad radar, and 1v1 pace duels—alongside your favorite adaptive AI coach—right into your iPhone and Apple Watch. Here is what Stride Pro does for you: 【Grab Your Phone or Watch and Just Run】 No need to overthink your gear. Track independently on your phone or untethered on Apple Watch. View real-time cadence, stride length, vertical oscillation, and ground contact time. Tackling steep climbs? Our Grade Adjusted Pace (GAP) shows your true effort regardless of incline. Glance at the Dynamic Island or Always-On Display to keep your pace and heart rate in the sweet spot. 【Import GPX Routes & Never Get Lost Off-Grid】 Exploring a new route or prepping for an ultra? Drop any GPX file right in! Enjoy crisp satellite maps and pro contour elevation lines. Best of all: once a route loads, Stride Pro automatically caches map tiles 1 km on either side. Even deep in the mountains with zero reception, your offline maps load instantly, buzzing your wrist the second you wander off-course. 【Share Live Location with Family for Peace of Mind】 Heading out for a 20-miler? Generate an encrypted web link and send it to family or crew. They don’t need an app—they can see your live breadcrumb trail, current pace, and even your phone and watch battery levels in any browser. Pure freedom for you, total reassurance for them. 【Squad Up on One Screen & Never Leave Anyone Behind】 Running with friends? Pair up via Bluetooth radar or join instantly with a 6-digit room code. See every teammate's live location and relative distance on one map. If someone bonks or falls behind, the whole squad gets an alert. In an emergency or injury, trigger a one-tap SOS beacon with your exact GPS coordinates. 【Bored Running Solo? Settle It in a 1v1 Duel】 Need that extra spark? Challenge a running buddy nearby or get matched online for a pure 1-on-1 pace showdown! Watch your screen tick between "Leading by 15 m" and "Trailing by 20 m." Push each other through every stride, earn duel stats, and turn ordinary track laps into high-adrenaline racing. 【An AI Coach That Actually Adapts—No Guilt Trips】 Rigid training plans force dangerous catchup runs that lead straight to injury. Stride Pro acts like a real coach, monitoring your fatigue (TSB), sleep score, and HRV recovery. If it’s blistering hot, humid, or UV levels spike, your AI proactively eases your target pace and mileage. Push when you're fresh, rest when you need it—staying healthy is the true secret to lifelong PBs. 【Built for Every Level of Runner】 • Starting out & weight loss: Gentle Run-Walk intervals that keep your heart rate in the fat-burning zone without trashing your knees or making your legs heavy. • Half & Full Marathon PBs: Periodized base-building, threshold sharpening, and pre-race tapering calibrated down to the final stretch. • Trail & Ultra Running: Build vertical climbing endurance and downhill technical speed with confidence. Privacy & Data Safety: Integrated seamlessly with Apple HealthKit. Your health and workout metrics are processed strictly locally and in encrypted environments. Never sold or used for ads.
