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.
