PaceCommandCROSS COUNTRY & DISTANCE
Cross-country coaching software that connects every training week.
Good cross-country programs build consistency across many days, not just on race day. PaceCommand helps coaches plan distance training, track mileage, communicate workouts, and review each runner's progress throughout the season.
Every feature · No credit card required · Pricing from $19/month after trialA clearer training week for every runner.
Manage the calendar and the details of running development without making athletes and assistant coaches hunt through messages and disconnected logs.
Follow mileage and completed training
Keep athlete mileage and training history in a shared team workspace. Coaches can review completed sessions and track how the training week is progressing instead of combining separate logs by hand.
Run groups without losing individual context
Use different training groups for varsity, developing athletes, or other coach-defined squads. Assign group workouts while preserving individual athlete targets, results, and availability.
Keep communication tied to training
Athletes can view their assignments and submit training feedback. Coaches can review RPE, session completion, attendance, and performance records in the context of the sessions that produced them.
