Are you the kind of person who crunches the numbers on everything? Are you the kind of person that wants that visible proof of improvement? Then this is the app for you.
Quickpace Pro application calculates your pace, speed and calories when you enter time and distance. Calories also adjust accurately if you enter an incline.
There are many good GPS trackers and jog logs out there, but when you are running on a treadmill many of these do not give you pace and speed information. And while calories are probably there, they may disappear within 30 seconds of you finishing your run because the treadmill powers down!
This app fills that gap and it does so with a clear, single-screen interface. Fields auto advance as you enter your time so your post-run shaky fingers dont have to click through them manually. Crisp, clean, and functional.
I hope this fills a small gap in your workout tools.

For the Calorie Geeks...
The human body is complicated and calorie estimation is always a rough business outside the lab. To ensure the closest possible match with reality for QuickPace, I used the METs values and calorie calculations from the Compendium of Physical Activities (sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and Arizona State University) because they offered greater accuracy through the use of age, weight, height, and gender. There may be slight differences from treadmills because they use the much more generalized calculation that only considers weight (or no personal factors at all). In other words, this calorie calculation is about as close as you can get without strapping a mask to your face and getting crazy in the lab. For incline calculations, I used the American College of Sports Medicines methodology described in their Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription. I believe there are very few calculators, if any, that adjust for speed and incline as precisely. Happy running and calculating!
