Name: Cooper Pace | 12-min run pace
Author: savilmik

Cooper pace is a simple running data field that shows how far you would cover in 12 minutes at your current pace. The pace is rounded to nearest 100m for easier use of the data screen. The data on the screen is purely informative, use other screens for exact estimations. 

Your projected Cooper-test distance is displayed in metres, together with your current pace in min/km. GPS speed is smoothed to keep the estimate responsive while reducing distracting jumps.

Use Cooper pace during a run, workout, or Cooper-test practice session to judge your effort and adjust your pace before the 12 minutes are over.

Features:

- Live projected 12-minute distance in metres
- Current pace in min/km
- Smoothed speed reading for a steadier estimate
- Full-screen and compact data-field layouts
- No account, internet connection, or configuration required
- No personal data collection

The projection is an estimate based on your current speed. GPS conditions and normal pace variation can affect the displayed value.
