RunTempo – Cadence Running App for iPhone and Apple Watch
Train at your ideal running cadence to improve performance,
reduce injury risk, and run more efficiently — with a simple
running metronome app made just for runners.
Running cadence is the number of steps you take per minute. It's
one of the simplest things you can adjust to become a more
efficient runner — and you don't need to run faster to do it.
Research shows that a small increase in cadence — as little as
5–10% — can meaningfully reduce impact forces at the knee and
hip. Shorter, quicker steps spread the load more evenly, which
means less stress on your joints and a lower risk of common
running injuries.
Many recreational runners find that a cadence around 170–180
steps per minute feels natural once they've had a little
practice. The key is to increase gradually and let your body
adapt over time.
RunTempo has been a focused, reliable running metronome for over
a decade — no bloat, no feature creep, just a tool that does one
thing well.
