    I use Endomondo. I tried Runkeeper because all of my friends SWEAR by it. I will tell you that Endomondo was more on target than Runkeeper. Runkeeper had me over 1/4 mile more than what I actually ran. Endomondo was about .10 miles off.

    My suggestion, use www.mapmyrun.com to map out your miles and then compare the GPS map.

    Well your a running beast !! So I will definitely check out Endomondo if you recommend it. I've used RunKeeper for a while but never hurts to change it up a bit.

    I currently have a Garmin 310xt and love it.

    That being said, unless you are a triathlete or want to swim with your GPS, or unless you are an ultramarathoner doing more than 7-8 hours of training or events... it's probably overkill.

    The Garmin 305 is a fantastic unit for running. I had one for a few years before upgrading to the 310xt.

    Far more accurate than using your phone, comes with a HRM, has fantastic data available for review.

    To see the data that it collects, check this link: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/147481538

    Best value I've seen recently is Garmin 405 with HRM strap for $199 shipped from Costco.com

    405 is less awesome than the 410/610, but you can't beat that price!
