How is my landing/messaging for Pacing - a mobile run training app aimed to be a customisable Runna
Hereās a clearer, more fluent version while keeping your tone and details:
Hey WIP community,
Iād love feedback on my messaging, plus tips to grow and acquire users for my mobile running app, Pacing.
Quick backstory: I originally built the app to give audio cues for specific heart rate intervals as I got more into running. This was a unique feature for a mobile running app in mid-2024 (and I think it still is). After adding support for custom pace intervals, I thought it was ready to launchābut retention was poor. In my test pool of ~10 users, nobody wanted to constantly tweak their own intervals. Over the last couple of months, I added an AI feature to quickly generate training plans and custom workouts, while still allowing full flexibility to edit any interval. Over time, Iāve realized it directly competes with Runna and other coaching apps.
Links for roasting:
- Landing: https://pacing.run
- App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/6739565685
- Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=run.pacing.pacer
- Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/products/pacing
Iām also looking for pricing feedback.
The app is paid with a 2-week free trial. Current pricing:
- Monthly: Ā£4.99
- Yearly: Ā£32.99
- Lifetime: Ā£79.99
These are essentially undercuts of what I see as the main competitors (Runna, Coopah, etc.). Does this feel reasonable?
Thereās a hard paywall after onboarding when you generate your initial plan. Iām tempted to remove it and automatically start the 2-week free trial, because I think the āahaā moment is after your first fully guided run using audio cues. Do you think that would improve the effectiveness of my marketing going forward?Ā
(P.S. I havenāt done any real marketing yet beyond asking friends to try it and posting on Product Hunt.)

Hey mate - this looks incredible!
One bit of feedback - on mobile, the animations do make the background/images a bit hard to read - but overall, you get the message of your product across really well!
Thank you for taking a look ! A bit of sunk cost on my end to not easily let go of all the scrollytelling š . And, can see it is quite hard to skim when scrolling fast. I tried to pace the foreground text and background app images/video so the intended bit is visible.
