Most running apps track your pace. PaceTalk coaches it. Set a min and max pace zone before your run. If you slow down too much or speed up too fast, PaceTalk fires an audio alert instantly so you can correct without checking your phone. HOW IT WORKS Define your target pace range. For example, set 8:00 as your fastest and 10:00 as your slowest. Start your run. PaceTalk uses GPS to track your pace in real time. The moment you drift outside your zone, your chosen coach speaks up. Too slow? "Stop being lazy, pick it up." Too fast? "You're doing too much, dial it back." Back in the zone? "You're back in it." CHOOSE YOUR COACH Pick from six voice packs, each with a unique personality: - Drill Sergeant: Tough love when you need it. - Goggins Mode: Stay hard. No excuses. - Hype Man: All energy, all the time. - Savage: Trash talk to push harder. - Calm Coach: Steady guidance, no pressure. - Bestie: Your best friend cheering you on. Each voice pack comes in male and female variants. SMART FEATURES - Auto-Pause: Stops the clock automatically when you pause at a red light or water stop. Resumes when you start moving. - Pace Plan Mode: Set different pace zones for each mile of your run. Perfect for negative splits and race-day strategies. - Mile Splits: Hear your split time announced at every mile marker. - 3-2-1 Countdown: A countdown timer before every run so you are ready when tracking begins. BUILT FOR RUNNERS No account required. No login. No subscription. No internet needed during your run. Everything runs locally on your device. PaceTalk works in the background with your screen locked and plays alerts right over your music. Download PaceTalk and stop guessing your pace. Start running with a coach in your ear.

Endure is a personal running coach that lives entirely on your iPhone — with no subscriptions, no new accounts, and no syncing to third-party platforms. It reads your workouts, heart rate, HRV, and sleep data directly from Apple Health, then highlights the coaching signals that truly matter: your recovery status, the type of run to do today, and whether your training is progressing correctly. — READINESS & TRAINING LOAD — Each day, Endure evaluates your readiness across four levels — Ready, Normal, Caution, Recover — using your HRV trend, resting heart rate, sleep, and recent training load. The Training tab displays your fitness (CTL), fatigue (ATL), and form (TSB): the same metrics used by elite endurance coaches, presented in a way that’s designed for regular runners, not data scientists. — DAILY TRAINING SUGGESTION — Endure's suggestion engine analyzes your recent workout pattern, weekly schedule, and current fitness trend to recommend exactly what you should do today: Rest, Easy, Steady, Tempo, or Long. It also explains its reasoning so you understand why, not just what. — RACE PREDICTOR & TRAINING PACES — Set a race goal with a target distance and finish time. Endure uses your actual PR data with the Riegel formula and VDOT system to predict your finish times across different distances and creates a personalized set of training paces: Easy, Steady, Tempo, Threshold, Interval, and Repetition. — TRENDS THAT MEAN SOMETHING — Three charts illustrate your season’s progress: an 8-week volume chart to monitor your load, a 12-month consistency chart to assess your routine, and a 12-week pace trend to confirm improvements. Each chart includes a simple, plain-English summary. — YOUR RUNS, FULLY ANALYZED — Every run displays pace zones, per-mile splits, HR timeline, elevation profile, and a route map with an optional heart rate zone overlay. You can also share a branded run card — with your route — directly from the run detail screen. — APPLE WATCH & HOME SCREEN WIDGET — Your weekly mileage ring and current streak are visible on your home screen and Apple Watch, updating automatically after each run. — YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS — Endure works with every run you've ever recorded on Apple Watch, iPhone, or any HealthKit-compatible device. Nothing is uploaded to any server. Ever.
