There are about a million running tracking apps.
Which one would you recommend ??
I'm not sure where to start ?
I'm moving and will have the opportunity to run outside a lot more (getting off that treadmill!

    I like Strava and MapMyFitness. The former because it's good socially and to see your progress in hitting milestones - PBs etc, and the latter I used from before I joined Strava so continued to use. You can play music and it'll give you audio feedback on your distance and pace at the same time. Both you can auto-sync to mfp. I only sync MapMyFitness though and I manually correct the calorie burn in there by editing my activity to be in line with my HRM so that the correct calories are then added into my diary in MFP for me.

    I'm a beginner runner. I like the Nike app or Fitbit all because it shows you a map of what you run. I like to look at the weird shapes of the path when I switch up my normal route :)

    Ismoothrun is great, you can customize intervals at varying pace times, add rest periods and track by pace or distance with audio cues. It has an auto pause feature as well.

    Nike Running hands down !! I like it better than any other running apps which I've used in the past like Edomondo, RunKeeper, MapMyRun, Runtastic, Zombies Run.. And plus I use my Fitbit Blaze which I barely bought and its amazing!!

    I've realized that I've becomed addicted to Nine Running and Fitbit .. I always see myself looking at the app 24/7 lol

    I'm a baby runner, but I really like Strava (I'm obsessed with numbers) and ZombiesRun. The Zombies5K training app is what helped me get to running 5K.

    I love mapmyrun and zombies run :)

    I can never get strava to work, it never records my runs which is super annoying!

    C2k5 helps get into distance. But I also use map my run to get more details for calories burned and distance. I love that when I am finished I see how fast each mile is, as well as the calorie burn.

    I like Runkeeper for setting intervals, it's quite easy to make custom workouts.

    I prefer Strava, but I also can't get it to record. So I just use a watch. I've had somekind of Garmin Forerunner longer than I've had a smartphone.

    I've only tried to record via the app recently Nordic skiing over the winter. Nothing. (LG G4)

    I have a Garmin watch - what I do is upload my runs to Garmin Connect, then I have Strava connected to my Garmin account so the runs then appear there automatically. There is also a site (Tapiriik) that you can use to sync runs across a range of apps.

    I've used a few, but Runkeeper is my favorite. It seems the most accurate (I've never used Strava, though, so I can't speak to that one).
