Features & Capabilities

Pace Control - running pacer helps runners precisely monitor and manage their pace to improve training and race performance. It utilizes an optimized GPS-based pace calculation algorithm to provide stable, reliable pace information, helping you avoid starting too fast and maintain your target pace.

Main features include frequent voice feedback through headphones so you can focus on your run without checking your phone. The app supports remote races where you can compete in real-time against friends afar, and predicts your finish time based on your current pace and distance. Use the negative split strategy with its 'shadow runner' feature that tracks your race progression against an optimal pace plan. Runs can be saved as GPX files for detailed analysis.

Pace Control is available in multiple languages, is completely free with no hidden costs, and designed for runners seeking an effective personal pacer to enhance pacing tactics and overall results. It's perfect whether you want to improve training quality or run smarter during races.

User Reviews

The Pace Control app is widely praised for its ease of use and strong pacing features that help users hit targets from 5k to half-marathon and parkrun. Reviewers highlight voice prompts, negative splits, interval pacing, route/time tracking, and the fact that it’s free. However, multiple users report GPS problems, occasional unreliability in recording, and limited Strava syncing, with feature requests like delimiter alarms or a metronome. Overall, a versatile pacing tool with some GPS reliability caveats.
