which do you prefer and why ?

I've tried Nike+ run and I like it but I've have like 4 Nike+ accounts and I can't get into any account cause they don't send the forgot password email 0_0

I have zombies run and I'll use it when I'm in town walking around and remember to bring my earphones.

    Map My Run, but I always run random loops around town and then map it after I run. I don't like having my bulky phone on me during a run.

    I think Zombies, Run! is a lot of fun, but I only use it on fun runs (I don't always want to add the intervals/zombie chases). For training runs, I use Runkeeper and nothing else.

    I just use Runkeeper for training. The zombie app sounds like fun but I'm currently working on knocking my pace down and I need a steady consistent speed to achieve this.

    Its a Droid X in an Otterbox. I prefer to run with my iPod shuffle if I need tunes.

    I either map it on the site or I drive it while I have the app turned on.

    I like RunKeeeper because you can set it to give you audio alerts- every 5 minutes it tells me how far I've gone and my current pace. It helps me challenge myself to increase my speed. I also like it because it sends you an email when you reach a new record. Nice encouragement!

    I have used map my run and jog log which both worked just fine but I've been sticking to Nike + Running just because I want to log miles to get to their different levels.

    I've used Runkeeper for awhile and always liked it - the updates on pace and distance are great, and it seems to track my route well. I like that you can set goals and add races on the website.

    I recently tried Nike+ and I like it better for the personal bests it gives you on each run (assuming you hit a best) - fastest 5k no matter how far I run, best mile, etc.

    I've got friends on my Runkeeper site I want to keep up with, so lately I've been running both apps when I go out. :bigsmile:

    Nike + . It's powered by TomTom so the GPS side is nailed. It's reliable, accurate, slick,stylish and never fails...I won't use any running system ever again, and Iv'e tried them all.

    I use Nike+ which is on my iPod so I have my tunes and track my miles; I have it set to give me my stats every 1/4 mile to help keep me motivated and try to run faster.

    I use RunKeeper. Only once did I have a problem with it connecting. Of course that was during my first half marathon:( But Overall, I've had no problems. Very user-friendly.

    I use Jog Log during my run and then it submits it to runkeeper. Jog Log has so many customizable features, cues, workouts. Looking to add a HRM to my workouts and not sure which would be best and which app would be most compatible.
