Running Tracker

Read full description

Every run, recorded properly. Trakr starts, follows your route, and gets out of the way. It records distance, pace and time by GPS, draws the route on the map, and splits the run mile by mile — or kilometre by kilometre, whichever you run in. INCLUDED WITH THE APP Tracking • GPS route recording that keeps going with the screen locked • Live distance, pace, duration and elevation gain • Automatic splits at every mile or kilometre • Auto-pause when you stop at a junction, picking up again when you do • Audio split announcements, read out loud so you never take your phone out • A haptic tap at every split, for when your headphones are not in Your running over time • Every run kept, with its route, its splits and its numbers • A calendar of everything you have run • Achievement badges earned as you go • A streak counting the days you showed up • A weekly distance goal, with the week laid out — most runs easy, one longer at the weekend Other runners • Follow other runners and see their runs in your feed • Post a run, react to others, leave a comment • Share a run card straight to Instagram Stories or your camera roll APPLE HEALTH With your permission, completed runs are saved to Apple Health as workouts, and Trakr can read heart-rate data back from Health. TRAKR PRO Trakr Pro is an optional subscription. It adds deeper analysis and changes nothing about the tracking above: • Advanced Analytics — observations drawn from your own history: the weekdays you run most often, whether your pace is trending faster or slower, and the time of day you run strongest • Running DNA — a six-point profile of your last 90 days, scoring consistency, speed, endurance and recovery, and showing how your running divides between road and trail • Heart Rate Zones — how your time divided across five effort zones. Requires compatible heart-rate data already recorded in Apple Health, from a watch or chest strap • Personal Bests — your fastest 5K, 10K, half and full marathon, taken from inside your runs • Activity Heatmap — every run you have done, at a glance Trakr is built for running. Not steps, not the gym. Running. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Trakr Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered weekly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.
