Read full descriptionHide full description
A running app that builds you a real training plan and then adapts it when life happens. PaceCoach works out your paces from a recent race result, generates a periodised plan for 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon, and adjusts as you go. No feed, no leaderboard, no one to beat. THE PLAN - Periodised properly: base, build, peak, taper, with the long run and the hard sessions where they belong - Paces derived from your own result rather than a generic table - Easy, tempo, intervals, long, recovery, hills, fartlek and race simulation - Tell it you are not feeling well and it adjusts the week instead of guilting you TRACKING - GPS run tracking with pace, distance and elevation - Heart rate and calories via Apple Health, both directions - A calendar of what is planned and what you actually did - Weekly mileage, planned against completed, so you can see whether you are following the plan or just intending to NEW: EXPORT YOUR TRAINING LOG A training log is worth years, and until now there was no way to get it out of this app at all. PaceCoach Pro exports every run as plain CSV: date, type, distance, duration, pace, heart rate, elevation, RPE, how it felt and your notes. Plain format, so it opens in a spreadsheet or whatever your coach already uses. Plans, tracking, adaptive pacing, the calendar, progress and Apple Health sync all stay free. PaceCoach Pro is $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year, with 14 days free on the yearly plan. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. PaceCoach is a training tool, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor before starting a training programme, particularly if you have any heart or joint condition.

Hit your goal pace without staring at your screen. Pace Coach watches your pace and stays quiet in your ears while you are on target, then speaks up the moment you drift too fast or too slow. Keep your eyes up, keep your headphones in, and just run. FREE TO RUN WITH Setting a goal, pace alerts, auto-pause, splits and your five most recent runs cost nothing. No trial, no card, no account. SILENCE MEANS YOU ARE ON PACE Most pacing apps talk every lap whether you need it or not. Pace Coach only speaks when something has changed: - Running too fast: ease up before you burn out - Running too slow: a nudge to pick it up - Back on target: a quick confirmation, then quiet again At every kilometre you hear your split, and nothing else. SET ANY GOAL Pick your race and your target time, and Pace Coach does the pace maths: - 5K, 10K, half or full marathon - Or any distance you enter - Your target pace per kilometre, instantly AUTO-PAUSE Stop at a light or a water break and Pace Coach pauses on its own, then picks up the moment you run again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PaceCoach at none against Pace Coach's 2. Pace Coach's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
