2) "Walk/run" for you who has just started with running and needs to get in shape progressively. Alternate running and walking and watch your endurance increase.

3) "Pace training" is the ideal tool to reach your goal for a training or a race. Visual and audio feedback will help you perform as planned.

4) "Interval training" is your coach when you need to train for speed. The secret to become faster and stronger runner is to do interval training once a week.

5) "Beat yourself" mode to achieve always better performance. Motivational! Pick a log of your best run and see if you can beat it. In real time, you will know how good you are doing. Your "ghost" is shown as a yellow pin.
