Does anyone else use RunKeeper? I bought the advanced version for my iPhone (there is a free one too) and LOVE it. MFP and RK are my two favorite tools. They have a great site which helps track your progress for running, biking, walking, or anything else you want tracked by GPS & time.

Add me as a friend on RK if you want. http://runkeeper.com/user/nikki_zav

    Yes, I use Runkeeper for my cycle rides and runs -though my replacement i-phone screen has cracked and I'm waiting for another replacement ;(..
    The battery runs low unless you turn wireless off and the brightness down!
    But yes, its fantastic, its great to check out the route and it breaks down each mile/km..I have the free app..I have an RK account so I'll find you on it! ;-) :happy:

    Awesome app, thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely be using this on future runs.

    Winston - sorry to hear about the cracked phone. Do you keep your phone locked while running RK? That should help with the battery drain.

    Vineas - Glad your checking it out!!

    Yes, I keep it locked now, I never used to and then I'd check it and realise I'd paused it!! I have no music downloaded on mine, carry a phone and an i-pod, which I don't mind..but do you listen to music on your i-phone simultaneously..? Liz

    I have all my music on my phone, so listen to that while I have RK going. I'm doing C25K and can do intervals with the version I have, so it gives you audio queues in the headphones. Plus it's really motivating to hear the distance and pace updates. Unfortunately, Pandora and RK don't run well together. Hopefully they fix that soon.
