Hi everyone!

New to the site and I have also decided to make the lifestyle change to eat better and exercise. What app for running does "my" fitness pals use?

Thanks
Louis

    I use cardio trainer- its a really good app and logs ur progress, how many miles/ kilometers you've run, time you ran it in, calories burnt etc. I found it useful when training for my 5k last year and will be using it again this year.

    I loved C25K. I think it was maybe 0.99 or even 1.99. Either way, money well spent.

    I like the Adidas miCoach. It's free and love that it links in the the GPS to give a map, run times and can play music from my iTunes account too.

    i just printed out the 9 week training schedule from C25K for free to hang on my wall next to my treadmill. Not sure if that helps u out any!

    Couch to 5k is great when starting out. I use Nike+GPS, it's awesome. It logs your time, chimes in each mile to tell you your pace and gives you encouragement when you're getting close to your goal or running faster than usual. I officially hit 50 miles today (that I've logged on it - not all at once lol!) Highly recommend

    I'm using RunKeeperPRO (Android and Iphone) for keeping track of stats.

    I'm using podcast from RunningIntoShape.com for the Couch to 5K program.

    I have CardioTrainer, RunKeeper, and iMapMyRun. They all do mostly the same things, but I'm still evaluating to see which one I like the best. Oh and that's on the Android platform, but I think they're all available for Apple too...at least the last two?

    My hubby used Runkeeper a bit. Overall it's pretty good but sometimes the GPS would be wonky and it would say my hubby went hundreds of miles lol

    thanks for the insights. i have been using runkeeper lite for the past week and i have downloaded micoach and thinking of evaluating it on a few runs.

    running really feels good :)
