The app called Pear Training-Intelligence is designed to be used with a comfortable (but expensive) heart rate monitor made by the same company, and the concept is that the app coaches you to run based on your heart rate data. It’s an excellent system for anyone who is training and doesn’t yet know how to monitor and control their heart rate. You can use Pear for runs, jogs, powerwalks, and longer-term training for races. A real human voice makes the audio part of the experience great. The app is free, but the add-ons cost about $99—this includes a chest-strap heart rate monitor, earphones, and a pouch to keep them in.

Runtastic Pro lets you measure and track your runs, walks, and other exercises, but it also doubles as a coaching app to motivate you to keep working toward your goals. You can use it to train for races, too. The $4.99 Pro version is worthwhile, because the free app lacks (and tries to sell to you through in-app purchases) many of the features that are central to the experience, such as the coaching features, voice feedback, and music player integration. The one-time fee, rather than a subscription, makes Runtastic Pro a good deal.
