PaceWise — What's New

Version 4.1iOS

Coming soon

Your parkrun barcode on your phone, a faster way into every tool, and a clearer picture once you've finished.

parkrun barcode — yours and your crew's, ready to scan without hunting for a printout.
Home Screen search — type the name of any tool and go straight to it.
Race results — log how a race went, with a new personal best leading the result.
Privacy-focused usage tracking — anonymous counts of which features get used, so what gets built next follows what people actually use. Off any time in your profile.

A new Home tab greets you every time you open the app, plus a clearer look at your training trends and more room to make PaceWise your own.

A new Home tab — counts down to your next goal race and shows this week's distance and your own quick shortcuts, all in one place.
Trends — see your weekly distance trend over time, your longest run each week, and a plain-language heads-up when a run jumps further than your recent training has you ready for.
New tools — a metronome to run to a steady beat (it plays over your music and keeps going with the screen locked), plus a quick converter between miles and kilometres.
More room to make it yours — rearrange tabs and Home cards (anything you tuck away is one tap from a new More tab), round out your profile with a name and photo, and back up your data to a file any time.

Your goals are now Races — a proper home for race day, with a countdown on your home screen.

Races — every race you're training for has its own place now. Set one or more target times, see how ready you are against your personal bests, follow a pacing plan, and add race day to your calendar with a countdown. Afterwards, log how it went — and save a new personal best if you earned one.
Race-day widget — a home-screen widget counts down to your next race and shows its target time, the pace you'll need, and how your form is tracking.
Your distances, your way — choose which distances show on the calculator: reorder them, hide the ones you never use, or add your own.
A tidier result — show or hide the personal-best and race comparison cards beside your result, so Calculate stays as simple as you like.

A fresh look, an easier way to enter your numbers, and a proper home on iPad.

A fresh new look — PaceWise has a brighter, cleaner feel throughout.
Spin to enter — instead of typing the digits, spin a dial to land on the time or pace you want.
At home on iPad — a full-screen layout that works whichever way you're holding it.
Smarter goals — race-day readiness now weighs all of your personal bests instead of just one, the countdown shows the time left in clear days, hours and minutes, and a quick tap explains how it's worked out.
Equivalent times, the PaceWise way — see PaceWise's own equivalent times alongside Riegel, Cameron and VDOT.
Pace bands in splits — splits now include handy 5K and 10K pace bands (or miles), so your race-day numbers are right there at a glance.
Tidier Settings — your units, profile and support links are easy to find.

13 June 2026

A big update that takes PaceWise beyond a single run — see where your form stands across distances and years, and plan race day in more detail.

Personal-best history — keep dated results for each distance and watch your progression on a chart. The fastest is always surfaced as your PB.
Import from Health — pull your fastest 5K, 10K, half, and marathon straight from Apple Health and save them as personal bests. Read-only, only when you tap Import, and all on your device.
Equivalent times — compare a personal best across distances three ways: Riegel, Cameron, and VDOT. Three models instead of one, so you can see where they agree and where they don't.
Age-graded bests — WMA age grading scores your personal bests against the world standard for your age and sex, so a 5K at 45 stands next to a 5K at 25.
Race goals — save more than one target for a race, see how achievable each looks against your bests, shape a pacing plan from positive to negative split, and add race day to your calendar, with a countdown.
Pace bands — share a pace band as an image or a print-ready PDF.
Treadmill & track — convert between treadmill speed and running pace, with track presets and per-lap splits down below the mile.
Settings & onboarding — set your units and athlete profile up front, read a plain privacy statement, copy any result with a long-press, and get a first-run tip to find your way around.

The first release — a fast, focused running pace calculator.

Solve for the third — tap Time, Distance, or Pace and the rest follows, updating as you type.
Preset distances — 1 mile, 5K, 10K, Half, Marathon, or any custom distance.
Splits — cumulative time at every kilometre or mile, including the exact finish.
Personal bests — store a PB per distance and see how a goal time compares.
Goals — turn a goal time into a plan: the required pace, the splits to run it (even or a negative split that finishes faster), and a readiness read from your personal bests.
Kilometres or miles — switch any time; everything converts.
Calm and private — Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, light and dark mode. No account, no network, no tracking.
