Measure your performance when moving with added weight. Weightpace tracks your weighted walks, runs, and hikes with a weighted vest, pack, or other intentional external load. Enter your load, start moving, and see your distance, time, and Weightpace in one place. WHAT IS WEIGHTPACE? Weightpace combines load, distance, and time into one result, shown as WP. WP = Load × Distance ÷ Time Carry more weight, cover more distance, or complete the same distance in less time, and your WP increases. Weightpace converts your selected units before calculating, so results remain consistent whether you use pounds and miles or kilograms and kilometers. TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS • Record activities with added weight. • View load, distance, time, and WP. • Pause and resume your activity. • Follow your activity on the iPhone Lock Screen and compatible Apple Watch Live Activities. Weightpace uses GPS to measure distance outdoors. Indoor tracking may be inaccurate or unavailable. BUILD YOUR PROGRESS • Establish your Weightpace Benchmark with your first saved activity. • Set personal records for Weightpace, load, and distance. • Compare your best WP results at different loads. • See your weekly progress and longest activity streak. CHOOSE A PROGRAM Give your weighted workouts a plan. Choose a distance-based program, follow your daily progress, and work toward completion. CREATE PHOTO SHARE CARDS Combine a photo with your workout or completed-program stats. Take a photo or choose one from your library, select Original or Black & White, arrange your stats, and save or share your card. Weightpace measures performance. The same WP does not mean the same effort. Distance, duration, hills, terrain, and other conditions affect the demands of an activity. All features are free.
