    For me, having the nike+ receiver to go on my ipod nano and the sensor in my shoe is keeping me motivated and focused on running longer/faster. Only downside is that its an investment but I think you only need the sensor if you have the iphone and that is only something like 13GBP. Itunes then sends the info straight to Nike+ website and it graphs your run and all other sorts of fun things! Its another community sort of like this one but focused on running!

    Hi,

    I have just started running 5km four times a week. The app i use is Sprint GPS as i have an iphone 3g so the Nike one does not work. I really like this app as it tracks my run, gives me feedback and plays your music whilst running. Im on my 8th run and am doing the 5km in 33 mins. I have a huge blister on my foot but the other physical and mental benefits have have felt since starting keep me motivated to carry on. Fingers crossed i still have the same attitude in four weeks as well!

    My DH has an app on his phone, links to a site called every trail. We use it mostly when we Kayak but we have used it when we have went for walks/rode bikes. It shows a map on the site, of your route, your average speed, and if you take pictures it will show on the map where the pics were taken. IDK if this will really work for runners, I don't see why it wouldn't, but it's great for hikes,... kayaking etc and it's free. Either way it's a cool app - we have even used it while GEOCaching with the kids. We have also used it to find new places in our local area, that we normally would not have known of to walk/bike/kayak, etc that others have mapped.
