Hi everyone,
Yes, we know. Yet another running tracker. We almost didn't post this because of that.
Jokes aside: some wishes kept coming back here in the forum, and the built-in apps on many watches don't cover them. One runner put it best: "Not what pace I am running, but what pace I am supposed to be running." That line is basically where this app started.
What you asked for → what's in it:
- Target pace, not current pace → race mode: 5K, 10K, half, marathon or your own distance + target time, even or negative split. Big number = seconds ahead (green) or behind (red), plus target pace, current pace and projected finish
- GPS says 10.2 km at the 10 km sign → in a race press BACK at the marker, distance snaps to it. Not near a full km/mile? Ignored. Wrong press? Press again to undo
- Run/walk you can read mid-run → big countdown, buzz at every change, presets (1:00/1:00, 4:00/1:00 …) or your own
- A 5K plan on the watch → 9 weeks, 3 runs a week, the watch knows your next run
- Intervals set up on the watch → by time or distance (6x800 m, 5x1 km, 8x1:00 … or your own), pace per rep, BACK = next part
And one we wanted ourselves:
- Best efforts → fastest 1 km, mile, 5K, 10K, half and marathon found in every run, even mid-way through a long one
Also:
- Start/stop on the physical button only, no ghost touches
- Splits, reps and new bests after every run, history of your last 30 runs
- 100+ Garmin watches, 28 languages. Not on the Forerunner 55, sorry: it doesn't fit in its memory
- Paid, one-time, no subscription

If you try it, we'd love to hear how your first run went, good or bad. And if something's missing for your kind of running, let us know.
Happy running!
