Pace.fm is a running app that helps users maintain a controlled pace during their workouts. Created by a runner seeking to slow down their own speed, the app tracks running tempo and provides feedback to keep users at… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I run too fast, so I made an app to slow me down launched in 2013; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

   Runo 2.0▲132

   I built Runo after years of inconsistent marathon training. GPS watches tell you your pace AFTER it's too late. So I made a simple metronome that plays a beat at your target cadence (steps per minute). New in 2.0: Apple Watch haptics (run to the beat without headphones), Strava sync, and social features. 4.7 on App Store, 10k+ runners. Would love feedback from the HN community.
