The same loop can take four minutes longer in August mud than on a dry spring morning. Trailbuddy records the ground and the weather with every run, so you always see a time with the conditions behind it.

Trailbuddy records the weather for you
When you finish, Trailbuddy looks up the temperature and the weather at the point and the hour where you started from Apple Weather and saves them with the run. You don't type anything. Without a connection at the finish, the run saves without the weather.
Pick the ground in the words runners use
When you save the run you pick the surface: dry, dusty, mud, wet rock, roots and technical, or snow and ice. Trailbuddy shows it on the run and next to its time in the route's history, together with the start temperature, and you can change it later.
With the conditions on every row, you read a route's history in context: the muddy Tuesday next to the muddy Thursday, and the 29°C afternoon apart from both.

Your watch shows a slow loop and keeps no record of the mud or the heat behind it.
Trailbuddy
26:40 · Mud · 12°C
Trailbuddy shows the surface and the temperature on every row, so you judge a muddy time against muddy runs.
The Smart Coach reads the day
After a run the Smart Coach adds one sentence when your data supports it: a new best on a climb you know, a climb rate above or below your usual, or a start at 25°C or more to keep in mind when you compare the time. It stays on the run for you and your coach.
