If you've got questions about PulsePacer, we've probably got the answers right here. Scroll down and see if we can sort it out for you, quick and easy.
PulsePacer is this handy little iOS app that makes heart rate zone training during running way simpler. It syncs up smoothly with Bluetooth heart rate monitors, like the Wahoo TICKR, Polar H10, and Garmin HRM Dual, giving you quiet voice prompts whenever your heart rate shifts zones. It's like having a personal trainer whispering gently in your ear, minus the sweaty gym vibe.
Not just yet! Right now, PulsePacer is iOS-only. But if we get enough folks nudging us about Android, we just might give it some thought.
Nope—your data stays right where it belongs, on your own device. PulsePacer keeps all that private info safely tucked away, without ever sending it online. You know how annoying privacy worries can be? Well, we took care of that one right from the start.
No sweat! You've probably heard of the classic "220 minus your age" method. It's a decent starting point, especially if you're new to zone training. But, if you've done professional fitness tests, you can pop your custom number right into the app. Totally your call.
Relax, we've kept it really simple:
We like the idea, and we're working on it for a future update. Right now, the app uses zones based on your max heart rate, but hang tight—custom zones are definitely in our plans.
PulsePacer works great on any device running iOS 16.0 or newer. Want to double-check your monitor specifically? Pop over to our compatibility list to see if your gadget makes the cut.
Sadly, no. Apple Watches and Fitbit don't broadcast heart rate info via Bluetooth. You know what? It's kind of annoying, but it's how they designed it. The good news is, popular monitors like Wahoo TICKR, Polar H10, and Garmin HRM Dual work brilliantly, making your run smoother.
Yep! Garmin HRM Dual, Wahoo TICKR, Polar H10—these are just a few of the trusty options PulsePacer happily talks to. Check out our compatibility page for a more detailed rundown.
Nah, we've got your music covered. PulsePacer's audio nudges slide smoothly under your tunes without pausing or wrecking your flow. Your favorite playlist stays intact, and your rhythm stays solid.
You'll hear an audio update every time you switch between heart rate zones. If you're chilling in one zone steadily, PulsePacer keeps quiet—no unnecessary chatter to distract you.
Absolutely. PulsePacer minds its business in the background, tracking your heart rate even if your screen's locked. It won't stop your podcast or music either—just politely lowers the volume for a quick sec during alerts.
Good question! Zone 2 training means keeping your heart rate in a comfortable, steady range (usually around 60-70% of your max heart rate). It's the sweet spot for building endurance and burning fat without burning yourself out. Pretty tempting, right?
