Forrest makes running and cycling more fun and challenging by adding an element of competition. It turns your runs and rides into races by letting you compete in real-time against virtual opponents or even your own personal bests and previous races.

Hi Hunters πŸ‘‹ I'm Adam, the co-creator of Forrest. We launched Forrest for iPhone in October last year but today... Forrest for Apple Watch is here! You're probably wondering what makes Forrest different from all the other fitness tracking apps. Well let me tell you… πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Forrest turns your runs and rides into races by giving you someone to complete against. Here's how it works: 1. Choose from a selection of preloaded race types or create a custom race event. ⏱ 2. Add virtual opponents in the form of ghost-racers that'll run or ride at a speed you choose. 🦿 3. Add your personal best times or previous race results to race against yourself. 4. Race! πŸš΄β€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨ 5. Hear audio prompts on your race progress while you run or ride: πŸ“£ β€’ "You've over taken your personal best to take 1st place." β€’ "That's 30 mins. You've completed 5.3km." 6. Win! 🏁 Get faster and fitter. πŸ’ͺ 7. Review your race with πŸ—Ί maps, πŸ“ˆ graphs, and πŸ”— export to Strava or ❀️ Apple Health. Now that Forrest is available for Apple Watch you have the freedom to race without your phone. Enjoy the same fun race experience from your wrist with live stats, race progress, and opponent times; hear the same audio prompts you’re used to hearing on iPhone; and listen to and control your favourite workout music. We'd love for you to give Forrest a go and let us know what you think. πŸ™

Love the subtitle, we shouldn't try to be better than others, but better than ourselves!

@damsmaka That's exactly it Adam! There's no better way to judge ourselves and improve.
