Pace: Couch to 5K Run Coach

Pace is for people who think they can't run.
It's the modern Couch to 5K app: a clean, honest running coach that takes you from your first run/walk intervals to a full 5K in nine weeks — gently, with no pressure and no judgment. Then it keeps you going.

BUILT HONESTLY

Pace was built by one runner in Sweden who quit Couch to 5K twice and finished once and wanted an app that respected him: no subscription traps, no data harvesting, no clutter. Just a plan that works and a coach in your ear.
Lace up. Your first 5K is nine weeks away.
