    Nike+ found out about this app when I signed up for a 5k run/walk I am in week 4 of training

    I love Nike+....But Im also playing with Endomondo which I think syncs to MFP.
    Nike+ Limits you to running/walking only. Additionally you cant really edit the runs if there are mistakes. For instance: Last fall I did an 18 mile training run for a marathon and somethign got screwy with the GPS half way through and showed that I ran miles 101-2 at a 30 sec pace. Ya I know Im FAST!

    Anyway, that ruined my avg pace for all my runs screwed up my fastest 5k record my fastest Mile record, my fastest 1k record. So I eventually deleted the run because it was hosing up all my statistics and IM OCD abotu my stats.

    I would be very upset if that happened to me. It is nice you can edit your runs in Mapmyrun and I like you can have splits. I don't know if Nike+ has that feature. Maymyrun also gives you more info like your avg pace, Nike+ seems to only give you your avg mile time. I just think Nike+ is more user friendly and "pretty"

    Nike+ does show split times. I had to peek around at first, but then I turned my phone sideways and it went from the map to the split times ;)

    Im a stat nut. and I know we all kind of get stuck in our favorites I have 4 or 5 Exercise/Run Apps installed on my phone. I urge everyone who hasnt tried any one of them to try them even if its been a long time. The apps change quickly. I know Runkeeper has changed a ton in the last 9 months.

    runkeeper
    Nike+
    Endomondo
    Strava (cycling is what I use it for)

    They all do some cool things! None are perfect you kind of have to pick and choose what you love best.

    Hey Massive Delta -

    Since you've consistently used quite a few, can you provide a bit more compare and contrast? Most folks just promote the one they are using but have less experience with the others to compare. I'd be interested to hear some thing like "this app is best for this, but it sucks at this" for the four you've tried.

    that would be wonderful. I hope it's not too much work - just some brief thoughts would be nice. i'm a stats junkie too so I'm looking forward to seeing your opinion.

    I love mapmywalk and runtastic - I use both of them every time I work out...and I use Pandora to keep me motivated.
