I think it depends on your goals. If you're just starting out, apps like c25k and (what I'm currently using) Running for Weight Loss PRO (£2.49) might be better to get you into the swing of things. I like the app I'm using because I don't usually like running very much but interval training makes it easy. It's got a lot of tips and hints, tells you when to start running/sprinting/walking and I like having a structured program as it suggests running three times a week which I do on my off days from lifting. I wouldn't recommend it too strongly as I like seeing a calendar of my workouts which this doesn't have and it's pricier than I would have liked.

However, there are plenty of apps to use if you just want to track. I also like using Endomondo because I cycle so it's good to track everything. I've heard good things about Runkeeper and the Nike training app. These are free so why not just try them out?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I'm currently using Strava and I have previously used RunKeeper. I prefer Strava's interface but I like RunKeeper's bell's and whistles. I was looking for suggestions to perhaps find an app that was similar to them both. Hehe.

I like RunMeter. Not to be confused with RunKEEPER which you say you've tried, I find its GPS to be most accurate of the ones I've used. They have a free version which is fine; I ended up buying the paid version to get a few more bells & whistles like stop detection but that's because I'm practically an app junkie :laugh:

I use Runtastic, but Nike+ seems to be a very popular one, so I downloaded it to give it a try. It looks like it gives you badges for exceeding previous times and other things. I have not checked it out much yet.

It depends on what your needs are, like everyone else says. But I really like Charity Miles. It tracks your progress AND you can help out charities while you do it! Last time I did it I walked my dog for 2.565 miles and donated 6.41 puppy and kitten vaccinations. I think it's a great way to get more out of your workout.
