RUNNERS/Joggers/Walkers what do you USE?!

I use Cyclemeter on my iPhone. It seems to be very accurate in terms of calculating speed and distance etc. I've had it for a year or so now and also use it for hiking and cycling. You can also pair it with Blue HR or Polar H7. Haven't used this feature though.

I think it's a well rounded app for $3.

I use Endomondo. Very reliable, lots of statistics and totally free.

I just started using this app in it is great , and free.

I downloaded this, but it just times me, I don't know how to get the distance, pace, or anything else from it?

Have you got GPS signal? It'll tell you, if so. I had a friend who I recommended it to last summer. She was saying for weeks it was just timing her, then realised eventually that she didn't have GPS on, so it was tracking her time but not her movement.

I have used Runkeeper for 3 years and love it. I would recommend this app to anyone and its free.

I started out using the iMapMyRun app but I found it wasn't very accurate. Switched to Endomondo and looove it.

i use runtastic on my blackberry. They have it for iphone and android too I think. It's like map my run but easier to use I think.

I use mapmyrun.com but I don't have a smartphone so I just log it when I get back home. For time I have a stopwatch on my regular watch so I use that.

I use Strava Running for Android. Love it! It gives your pace, calories burned and is a great motivator! Good luck!

I use Endomondo! I love it.

I've burned off 36 cheeseburgers so far and I've gone .007 around the world!! lol

Both endomondo and run keeper are great, but neither work with my heart rate monitor, so I paid a couple of pounds for ismoothrun, which I absolutely love and it exports to run keeper and some other apps.
ETA: if there's no GPS it uses the accelerometer on the phone, so you can even use it indoors if you like.

I have the Nike+ Sportband and it has been surprisingly accurate even without calibrating it. Within 0.1 mile on almost all my walks and runs, but usually within 0.03 or 0.04 if any variance at all.

I don't like carrying my phone, and don't always use my iPod so the regular Nike+ made itself obsolete. And whenever I went out and wasn't listening to music, I couldn't track my walks/runs because I wasn't using the iPod. I know most people use their phones for music now, but I don't.

It's been fairly accurate with calories burned estimates, compared to my Polar, which was really surprising to me.

I had a Garmin GPS watch and it was super cool, but didn't work as a HRM when doing indoor workouts (on a treadmill or lifting weights or something). For $300 I wanted something that did everything.

So, when I want a HR reading and accurate calories burned during a workout I wear my trusty old (yep, like 6 years old) Polar and when I am just going out for a run and am OK with an estimate of calories (albeit very close) and want distance/time/pace, I use my Nike+ Sportband. Sometimes I get crazy and use both, lol!

I use mapmyrun but do it when I get home. I like the site a lot. The app def has its faults.

This is how I do it, too. I really like the site.

RunKeeper app on my android. Crazy accurate on my routes. Even when I turn around and go back for some reason. I love it. Only bad part.. it talks and tells you how you are doing every 5 mins and I haven't figure out how to turn it off..

I use Runkeeper app to track distance and what not but I recently bought a New Balance HRM at target and that is way more accurate.

To turn off go to settings, audio cues and then time trigger. I like that it talks to you because that tells me if I am falling behind in distance compared to time.

I use the MapMyRun app and I love it - but I noticed a few people have said it's not accurate or reliable - I'm just wondering why?

bluefox9er

I use the nike+ sportwatch...incredibly accurate and the maps look great when it plays back your run...and you can track your run on iphone, too.

I ended up liking mapmyrun the best out of a few that I tried. I like their website with the new updates so I ended up going back to it after I went to Runmeter. I find it's pretty accurate.
