Hound: Running Pacer

Select a pace. Press Start. Hound tells you out loud whether you're ahead or behind pace, so you can stay focused on what matters.

Most running apps show you a pace and leave the maths to you. Hound compares your run with your target the whole way and tells you exactly where you stand: "20 seconds ahead." "On pace." No mental arithmetic while you run.

SYNC WITH STRAVA (OPTIONAL)
Connect your Strava account and upload the runs you choose, or turn on automatic uploads and every finished run goes straight to Strava.

PACE COACHING THAT TALKS TO YOU
• Spoken updates tell you how many seconds, or metres, you are ahead of or behind your target
• Choose how often you hear them
• Optional vibration cues when you drift ahead or fall behind, so you can pace by feel
• A big, clear live screen showing time ahead or behind, average pace, time and distance

PLAN YOUR PERFECT RACE
• Set a distance and a target time, and Hound works out the pace
• Shape your pace across the run by dragging points on the pace graph, or start from a preset: even, warm-up, negative split, positive split, fast finish or tempo block
• Save up to three pace plans of your own

EVERY RUN, MAPPED
• See your route on a map, and animate your run to see your pace at a point in time
• A pace-by-distance chart and a split for every kilometre or mile, each measured against your target
• Average pace, total time, distance, and average speed

WATCH YOURSELF GET FASTER
• Weekly, monthly and yearly totals, compared with the period before
• Week-by-week streaks to keep you consistent
• Best efforts: your fastest unbroken stretch at each distance
• Personal records and all-time totals

No sign-up and no ads
