I already had the heart rate data. I just needed to look at it differently.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/trophy-room/Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/trophy-room/After crossing a half marathon finish line, the chip time logged automatically, the GPS trace was perfect — and the finisher photo was somewhere else entirely. Trophy Room puts them back together.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/5k-splits/Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/5k-splits/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?https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/run-grid/Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/run-grid/Numbers can’t tell you which run was the hilly loop, the long out-and-back, or the lazy lap around the lake. Your GPS route can. Gallery mode shows your run list as a stream of route maps — one glance and you know exactly which run was which.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/outdoor-interval-share-template/Sat, 25 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/outdoor-interval-share-template/Same friend. He liked Running Facts for his easy runs. Then he finished an outdoor interval and sent me another screenshot — average pace, no work pace, no rest pace, nothing split. So I built an interval edition.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/import-hiking-as-run/Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/import-hiking-as-run/I climbed a hill recorded as a hiking workout, then broke into a run without switching the activity type. Apex Run only tracks runs — so that effort just disappeared. This feature exists because of that day.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/splits-avg-line/Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/splits-avg-line/After a long run, scrolling through 20+ splits and mentally comparing each pace to the average is tedious. So I drew a line. Orange bars are faster than average. Blue bars are slower. Now you see the whole run’s rhythm instantly.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/elevation-hr-share-template/Sun, 05 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/elevation-hr-share-template/A share card that draws your elevation profile as a curve — then colors it by heart rate zone. The shape tells you where the terrain went. The color tells you how hard your body worked to get there.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/cadence-metronome/Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/cadence-metronome/Every time I wanted to run at 180 spm, I’d go find an MP3. One day in the middle of that search, the thought landed: why isn’t this just in the app?https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/running-facts/Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/running-facts/Nutrition facts exist because what goes into your food deserves a complete breakdown. Running data felt the same way — so I borrowed the format.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/best-effort/Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/best-effort/The first version of Best Effort was just numbers. Every time I looked at it, I wanted to tap it — to see where on the route that fastest split actually happened.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/interval-share-template/Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/interval-share-template/A friend complained that sharing his interval run looked identical to any easy jog. He was right. So I built a share template that actually shows the structure of an interval workout — work bars, rest bars, and the numbers that matter.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/widgets/Sun, 08 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/widgets/Two widgets that put your running data on the home screen — a latest run glance and a weekly stats summary with a trend sparkline. No app launch required.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/detailed-splits/Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/detailed-splits/Some runners just want the numbers. All of them. Apex Run’s split detail view calculates every metric for each individual split — pace, heart rate zones, cadence, elevation, and more — for the data lovers in the room.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/vo2max-on-your-run/Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/vo2max-on-your-run/VO2 max is the single number that best captures your aerobic fitness — but Apple buries it in the Health app, disconnected from any specific run. Apex Run reads it from HealthKit and ties it back to the run that produced it.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/customize-metric-display/Sun, 11 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/customize-metric-display/Distance and pace aren’t always what you care about. During a heart-rate base-building block, I wanted HR front and center. During a power training cycle, I wanted watts. The run list should show you what matters right now — not a fixed default.https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/zero-cold-start/Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000slowbloomyogi@gmail.com (Apex Run)https://www.apexrun.fit/diary/zero-cold-start/I built Apex Run for one reason: running deserves a dedicated tool. Not a general fitness tracker that also handles cycling and swimming — something built entirely around gathering and analyzing running data, for runners who actually care about the numbers.
