PMPRunCal — iPhone & iPad app

PMPRunCal

A per-athlete split timer, a pace calculator, a race predictor and an AI Coach that reads your own history. It is made by a coach who is also an athlete, reviewed by USATF coaches, and used in the field with real athletes who compete and who coach others: every update is tested that way before it ships.

Designed by coaches. Built for athletes. Used on track and road.

What's new · 1.6

What's new in 1.6

This version comes from what coaches asked for most on the track: choose how splits are taken, call them out without squinting at the screen, and keep the team's history.

You choose the splits

Every 400 m, every 200 m, a custom interval, or a single total time, handy for cross country and road reps. You can also enter a custom distance.

Large readout and undo

During a session the split shows in large type so you can call it out at the line, the phone vibrates on each tap, and an Undo button fixes a mistaken tap.

Team session history

Every session in one place, filterable by distance and athlete. Share any session as text, as a CSV, or by email with the split table.

Up to two teams per athlete

An athlete can be on two teams: join another by code or QR, switch the active team, or leave, all from Profile → My Teams.

Fixes. Some athletes added earlier weren't showing in the coach roster; they do now. Plan status now displays correctly.

Calculator & predictor

Plan your pace before you head out.

The two most-used tools in the app, with modes for track, road and cross country.

Pace calculator

Enter a time or a pace and get the other one for the distance you pick.

  • Three modes: Track, Road and XC
  • Outdoor (400 m) or indoor (200 m) track
  • Kilometers or miles

Race predictor

Starts from a recent race and estimates your times at other distances, as a range rather than a single number.

  • Standard mode: from 200 m to the marathon
  • Cross Country mode: adjusts for course difficulty
  • Pace zones derived from your own predictions

For athletes

Your data, in your pocket.

Log your runs, work out your paces and, if you train with a coach, share what you did.

Run history

Pace, distance and time for every run, saved to your account.

Lap Timer

Time your own repeats with splits, no separate stopwatch.

AI Coach with your data

It answers using your recent runs and personal bests, not a generic chat.

Join your coach's team

With a code or QR you join the team and your coach sees your progress. You can be on up to two teams.

Calculator & predictor

To plan target times from something concrete.

⭐ Athlete Pro — $4.99/mo
For coaches

One timer per athlete, in one app.

I started building it because timing several athletes at once with a single phone is a mess. Here each athlete has their own time and their own splits.

Individual timer per athlete

Time each athlete separately, with splits, no paper and no extra phones.

Team with an invite code

Generate a code or QR; athletes join and their data reaches your dashboard.

Each athlete's progress

Session history, best time and a progress chart per distance.

AI Coach for your team

It uses each athlete's history for specific suggestions.

Up to 10 manual athletes

Add athletes without an account, useful for minors who don't use the app. The free plan allows 3.

Pro-linked athletes, no cap

Athletes with Athlete Pro who join your team don't count against the limit.

⭐ Coach Pro — $9.99/mo · 10 manual + unlimited Pro-linked athletes
How it calculates

What's behind each prediction.

I'd rather you know exactly what the app does with your numbers, with no decoration.

Riegel's power law

Pete Riegel · American Scientist · 1981

The predictor projects your time to another distance with Riegel's formula. The result is shown as a range (±2%) because a race prediction is an estimate, not a promise.

T₂ = T₁ × (D₂ / D₁)^exponent

The app uses 1.06 below the half marathon and 1.09 from the half marathon up.

Cross country

Predictor's Cross Country mode

It computes the flat-terrain equivalent time and applies an adjustment for the course difficulty you pick. It's a planning guide; the real course may vary.

Pace zones and profile

Endurance · Stamina · Speed · Sprint

The four zones come from your own predicted times (for example, Stamina sits between your 10K pace and your half-marathon pace). From the relation between your short and long distances, the app tells you whether your profile leans toward speed, endurance or is balanced.

PMPRunCal doesn't replace a coach or a doctor. If you have a health condition, check with a professional before changing your training.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What makes PMPRunCal different from other running apps?

The timer is individual per athlete, so a coach can take splits for several runners at once from a single app. And the AI Coach uses each athlete's history instead of answering in general terms. It was designed by Henri Forcella, USATF Apprentice Coach and TrainingPeaks Certified, for his work on the track and road.

Do I need a new account to activate Pro?

No. Use the same email you registered with in PMPRunCal. The system recognizes it and activates Pro on your existing account automatically.

How long until Pro activates?

Usually within 30 seconds after payment. If it takes longer, close and reopen the app.

Can a coach add athletes who don't have a phone?

Yes. Coaches can add athletes manually, useful for kids or athletes without a smartphone. The free plan allows 3; with Coach Pro you can have up to 10 manual athletes, plus all the Pro athletes who link to your team.

Can I be on more than one team?

Yes, since version 1.6 an athlete can be on up to two teams. You join another with its code or QR and switch the active team from Profile → My Teams.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. If you subscribed inside the app, cancel in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. If you paid from this page or need help, write to support. No contracts or penalties.
