Personalized coaching built from your real training data, not a generic plan. Works with Apple Health and any app you already run with. MovePace is a coaching companion, not another run tracker. It reads the runs you're already logging in Apple Health, whether from the Workout app, Strava, or anything else that syncs, and turns that data into real coaching: what your last run actually meant, what to run next, and whether your body is ready to push or needs a day off. WHAT YOU GET Post-Run Brief — after every run, a clear breakdown of what happened and why it matters, built from your pace, heart rate zones, and recent training pattern, not a canned summary. Next Run — a specific recommendation for your next session: distance, effort, target heart rate zone, and the reasoning behind it, tailored to how your training has actually been going. Recovery Status — a quick Ready / Ease Into It / Rest signal based on your recent effort and heart rate, so you're not guessing whether today's the day to go hard. Weekly Digest — a look back at your week's training and what it means heading into the next one. BUILT ON YOUR ACTUAL DATA No manual logging, no separate tracker to maintain. MovePace reads your heart rate, pace, and workout history directly from Apple Health and builds every recommendation from your real training history, not a generic plan. Requires Sign in with Apple and access to Apple Health running data.

Inflicts the generic age-only based formula to calculate heart rate zones, without any correction mechanism to reflect your actual personalized maximum HR. Yet another instance of AI as Acute Ignorance as opposed to Artificial Intelligence. Folks, when it can NOT nail the rudimentary basics, you know the rest will be pure unadulterated, uh, donkey dust.

You are right, thank you for catching it.MovePace was using 220 minus age with no way to correct it. Every Karvonen zone is built between your resting and your max heart rate, so an inaccurate max shifts all five bands: if your real maximum sits above the formula, your easy runs get labelled Zone 3 and the coaching tells you to back off when you don't need to. That is a real problem and you named it exactly.It is fixed in version 1.9.Max HR now comes from your own value if you set one in Profile. Otherwise it comes from the highest heart rate your runs have actually reached, with a check so a single bad sensor reading cannot skew it. It only ever raises the estimate and never lowers it, so a stretch of easy running cannot shrink your zones.The age formula is only a fallback when there is nothing to measure. Profile now lists both your max and your resting rate with where each one came from, so you can see whether the app measured it or guessed, and correct either.I care about getting the fundamentals right. If you have more to point out, my email is in the app and on movepace.fit. I would be happy to hear it.

• Interval and tempo runs are read properly now. Six hard efforts hiding inside an easy average show up as six efforts, and count as your session for the week. • Your Plan. After your first coaching, see where your running stands today and the programme behind your goal. • A redesigned run card, giving the distance and time you actually open the app for the space they deserve. • Better advice after time off. Coming back from a break no longer gets you told you are clear to push. • Calories on runs recorded with Apple Watch, used by your coach as well as shown to you.
