Stolen from the race report

Race reports have always shown 5km splits. I've been reading them for years without thinking twice about it — until after my last half marathon, when I finally thought: why don't we have this in Apex Run?

Race reports have always shown 5km splits. I’ve been reading them for years without thinking twice about it.

Then after my last half marathon, I looked at the splits section and thought — wait, why don’t we have this in Apex Run?

So now we do. Any run over 10km gets a 5K Splits view — automatically grouped into 5-kilometer blocks. Pace, heart rate, split time. The average pace line sits in the middle; orange blocks were faster, blue were slower.

Same format race reports have used forever. Turns out it works just as well for a Sunday long run.

Got an idea?

What should I build next?

I read every email. If there's a feature that would make your runs better, I'd genuinely love to hear about it.
