Running Apps

I lost my Garmin SAD DAY!!

BUT... I have an iPhone which I run with anyway...so until my Garmin returns to me, what apps do you iPhone users to map your run/chart your race paces, etc.

Thanks!

I used Endomondo on my GS3 for a bit to test. I stopped though as it was slightly less acurate than my GPS watch. That could be due more to the coverage in my area though. Was a very nice running app.

I use Runkeeper on my phone to track pace and distance. Works really well for me and it's pretty accurate too.

This doesn't have good reviews in the app store.

You could try Charity Miles. I'm not sure if it's any good. I just heard about it the other day and haven't had a chance to try it. From what I understand, you track your run/walk/ride with it, then it gives money to whatever charity you choose depending on your distance. There are usually 5-10 charities to choose from. I think if you walk it gives them $0.10 per mile, run $0.25 per mile, and bike $0.05 per mile.

Ok, well that's not helpful, but thanks.

The same app is available on your iPhone. I've never used it but it gets good reviews.

LogYourRun.com

I run with my Garmin now, but I still transfer all my runs into LogYourRun. I had over a year of runs in there that I wanted to keep.

MapMyRun is good. I like it because you can use it on your daily/weekly runs and it uploads them to the mapmyrun.com website. Then you can check out how many miles per month you are logging and more. It also has the option of using MapMyRide (for biking), MapMyWalk, MapMyHike, etc... Oh, also it allows you to find other runs that people in the area are doing so you can look up new places to run.

Where does the money come from?

RunKeeper is my favorite. Strava is another good one.

No idea... I guess the makers of the app pay the charities?

There is a great one called runtastic and it's free!!! You can sync it to MFP as well as facebook and it is one of the only free ones that I have found that is accurate.

It'll also tell you every mile how fast you have been going.

I use Charity Miles too! It's not entirely accurate compared to the other apps/maps I've used to track runs (usually a bit short).

Normally I use MapMyRun app. It's free and I LOVE IT. You can set a pace and it'll coach you every few minutes and tell you to slow down or speed up based on your current pace. It also tracks time, distance, splits, maps, and calories. I use it every time I run.
