Hiya,

I'm currently doing C25K and using C25K pro app on android and love it but I would love to know how far I've run and how fast im going on an average, anyone know of any android app on the market that can run in the background and track ur distance and speed? Unfortunately my HRM doesn't monitor that as i only have polar FT4.

Xxx

    My husband and I both use runkeeper. He has an android and I have an iphone. It has what you are looking for plus more.

    Google makes one called Mytracks. there's also one called CardioTrainer. They both are pretty good, I prefer the Cardiotrainer. I found it easier to use.

    Have a great day!

    I dont know if it would run in the background but I use runkeeper on the iPhone. There is an android version too. It logs your route, time, distance etc. You can go on the website and view it on a map. I love it! Hope you find what you are looking for

    I use sportypal for my bike rides. It's way cool. Your tracks are even overlayed on google maps so you can see where you were. It's free. www.sportypal.com
