About
A running coach that talks to you, even when you run alone. Pick a time and a pace, and Friday builds a route, favors streets with more safety equipment, and guides you by voice so your phone can stay in your pocket. ■ Safer routes • For each route option, Friday counts the CCTV cameras, emergency bells, security lights and police posts along it, using nationwide public data on a grid of about 110 m. • Turn on Prefer safer routes and the best-covered option comes first. After sunset, it turns on by itself. • Friday can't tell whether a street is lit tonight or what the surface is like. Use your own judgment on dark stretches. ■ Pick a time and a pace. Friday builds the route. • Choose "50 minutes at 6:00/km" and Friday builds a loop of about that distance that starts and ends where you are. • Or search for a place and get a one-way route there. Or skip the route and just run. • Compare options by number of turns and share of parks and rivers. Refresh for different options. ■ Turn-by-turn by voice • Before each turn, Friday tells you which way to go, and says so if you drift off the route. • Distance, pace and guidance keep going with the screen off. ■ A coach that talks about your run Friday writes each comment from your own numbers and reads it out loud. • Your current pace, your last kilometer, your goal and how far is left • Each kilometer against the same kilometer of a recent run: "12 seconds faster than yesterday" • At the start, every kilometer, halfway to your goal, when your pace drifts, and at the finish • Six coach voices · Korean or English · casual or polite style in Korean ■ History • Distance, pace, per-km splits and a map of where you actually went • Auto-pause at traffic lights, so you see your pace with and without stops • Runs, walks and rides, listed by month ■ In Korean or English If your phone is set to Korean, Friday shows Korean; otherwise, English. Switch anytime in Settings; the coach's language is set separately. ■ Made for running in Korea Routes and safety data cover Korea only.
