"An easy 5K today, please." β that's all it takes. PaceJoy is a running coach that talks with you before, during, and after your run. No staring at screens β your coach speaks right into your ear. β Smart Guide β say it, get a plan Before you run, tell PaceJoy your goal by voice or chat: "3K in zone 2", "4 Γ 400m intervals". Your coach builds a personalized plan from your recent runs β and the distance and pace you say are exactly what you get. β Live voice coaching while you run Through your AirPods (or any earbuds), hear pace guidance, heart-rate zone checks, and a briefing at every kilometer. Your coach also observes your running form β heart rate, cadence, stride length β and rotates through them so it never sounds repetitive. Coaching decisions are made on-device by a deterministic engine, so even if the network drops, the coaching never goes silent. β Apple Watch alone, or just your iPhone Head out with only your watch β GPS and heart rate are captured on the wrist. No watch? Run with iPhone GPS alone. Ask for a plan by voice right on the watch and start with a 3-2-1 countdown and haptics. Stop at a light and tracking auto-pauses; start running and it resumes. β A coach's debrief after every run When you finish, your coach reads your pace, heart rate, and splits, then gives you a real debrief β in voice and text. "You went out a bit fast. Next time, ease the first kilometer by ten seconds." β Clean records Route maps, km splits, heart-rate and pace charts, weekly stats. Workouts are saved to Apple Health too. Put in your earbuds and say one sentence. Your coach will answer. βββ Permissions PaceJoy uses Β· Location: to measure your route, distance, and pace (only while running) Β· Health: to read heart rate (watch) and save workouts Β· Microphone & Speech Recognition: only when you ask for a plan by voice
