      Hi, I‘m testing out the Race Pacer and I‘m wondering, in which time format the input has to be. Example: I have a 3km run and want to finish at 15mins and 30 seconds. Will it be 15:30 or 15,5???

          As things stand this app is useless. I mean is it as hard to let us input hours, minutes and seconds? Is it as hard to let us choose between positive, negative and even splits and then show the result right in the app? A lot of math to do?

            I used it for a 23k 600m D+ trail race recently and it worked flawlessly. I put in even pacing for a 2:30:00 finish, used this with climb guidance and ZoneSense to finish in 2:30:22. Input the distance, the time I wanted to finish and an even split. I thought not useless at all.

                  IMO, the UX team has a lot to improve here.

                  1. You have to calculate finish time in minutes, it’s ok for 2.30 marathon but what about more complex time? I think it’s not a user’s job to convert 60 minutes in hour to decimals.
                  2. If app has links to third-party calculators why not to use their functionality? Just several options for positive split plus even. Where is negative? It’s quite obvious for race planning tools.
                  3. It’s also a good idea to show splits after calculation, otherwise it’s a total surprise for the end user. Of course there’s a workaround - you can check them in 3rd party planner, but…

                    I haven’t used it yet, but……I’m inclined to say ‘thanks’ to the developer and give it a go. Working out a time in minutes is really not that hard 🙂

                      Just tested this today. Could be useful.
                      I just wondered why the Time ahead/behind is not following the usual Suunto format of HH:mm’s but rather mm:ss?

                        What are the main differences between this and the ‘Ghost runner’, are they essentially the same?
