About Apex Run: HR Zone 2 & Pace
MAKE YOUR RUNNING DATA COUNT. The analysis tool for data-driven runners. Unlike apps that just track your next run, Apex Run unlocks the value of your entire running history — synced from Apple Health. INSTANT HISTORY & CORE METRICS • Zero Cold Start: The day you install, your whole running life is already here — lifetime stats, heatmaps, and progress trends, synced from Apple Health. • Best Efforts: Your all-time bests across every common distance, found and tracked automatically. • Training Log (NEW): Your whole block in one week-by-week table — weekly totals, a running cumulative, each week's longest run marked, and a note on any run. • Comprehensive Metrics: Pace, Cadence, Stride Length, Power, VO2 Max, and Zone2 Pace. • Map Styles: Color-code your full-screen route by Heart Rate, Pace, or Elevation — Standard or Satellite. • Personal Achievements: Earn exclusive badges as you hit new distance goals. • Quick Navigation: Jump straight to any past workout with the calendar picker. ADVANCED ANALYTICS SUITE [ MORNING RECOVERY CHECK ] Know whether to push or hold back before you lace up. Apex Run reads your overnight recovery signals from Apple Health and compares them against YOUR personal baseline — no black-box score, every number auditable. • Recovery State: A clear morning readout — Optimal, Recovered, Compromised, or Fatigued. • Personal Baselines: Track HRV, Sleeping Heart Rate, Sleep Duration, and Restorative Sleep against your own 30-day range, with drill-in trends. • Daily Training Guidance (Pro): A concrete intensity recommendation for today — from a key session to an easy Zone 2 run to full rest. (Requires an Apple Watch worn during sleep.) [ RACE PREDICTION & PLAYBACK ] • Shadow Runner (Pro): Race the fastest version of yourself on any route you've run before — see where you're gaining or losing ground. • Race Time Prediction (Pro): Personalized finish-time estimates for your next 5K, 10K, Half, or Full Marathon. • Route Playback (Pro): Animated, step-by-step route playback on the map. [ PERFORMANCE & TECHNIQUE ] • GAP (Grade Adjusted Pace) (Pro): See your flat-ground equivalent effort on every hill. • Running Efficiency & Consistency (Pro): Track energy economy and rhythm stability over time. • Form Mechanics (Pro): Monitor Vertical Ratio and Duty Factor to run more economically. • Pace Zones (Pro): Personalized training zones (E/M/T/I/R). • Custom HR Zones: Build from Max HR %, Karvonen (Heart Rate Reserve), or Lactate Threshold (LTHR), then fine-tune every boundary in BPM. • Cadence Metronome: Lock in your rhythm — with Dynamic Island and Lock Screen Live Activities. [ SCIENTIFIC TRAINING LOAD ] • Training Status (ACWR) (Pro): Monitor your Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio. • Intensity Structure (Pro): Visualize your heart rate zone distribution. [ GEAR & DATA MANAGEMENT ] • Shoe Tracker: Track mileage on every shoe. • Workout Converter: Convert Walking/Hiking records into Running activities from the Toolbox. • FIT File Support (Pro): Import and export .fit files. • Training Log Export (Pro): Hand your coach the whole block as a CSV. • Monthly Reports: A beautiful recap of everything you achieved this month. [ EXPERIENCE, WIDGETS & PRIVACY ] • Local-First: Your data never leaves your device — no account required, all analysis on-device. • Advanced Widgets: "Latest Run", "Weekly Summary", and "Cadence Metronome" — one glance from the Home Screen.
