  • I like the bells and whistles. Calorie goal by meal, time stamps, unlimited history reports and I will export data to excel to calculate my base calorie burn. I’m saving more than $10 avoiding restaurants so no big deal to me.

  • I use the Nike Run Club app for about 5 years which is fine but have used MapMyRun too. I set the pace feedback every 1/4 mile so that it is frequent but not maddening. I am no elite runner so I am just looking to keep myself honest.

  • I really have had almost no issues with the apple watch and MFP. A random day here and there MFP doesnt get my workout from Nike Run Club app or even MapMyHike but that is rare. I almost always run with my phone though and not the watch stand alone. I am on sedentary (office job), disabled negative calorie adjustment, log…

  • They all use GPS. I use map my hike which is the same as the others. In fact I had to change the default activity from run to hike on it. I notice no real difference other than some small amount of tailoring. In fact my hiking posts are on all the different apps. Wish they transferred to my fitness pal with the pics. Seems…

  • Relentless stretching helped me. In my late 30’s everything started hurting. Knees, heels, shins, and ankles. Doctor said “how often do you stretch?” Answer: “never”. Thought he was a quack but 10 years later and now I stretch after every run and rarely have pain. Apparently tight muscles hurt joints.

  • Had both. Like the apple watch much better (I have second generation). I find it tracks steps and running miles very accurately. It also looks better and has way more bells and whistles plus the native apps on the iphone are easy. I almost always have my iphone with me but recently started running with just the watch.…

  • I can do either but prefer Coke Zero... now called Coke Zero Sugar. Diet has an after taste. Reg Coke is too sugary. Like drinking syrup.

  • Two pieces of advice: 1. Sign up for a few local 5k/10k races along the way so that you have mini-milestones - can seem monotonous training for a payoff months away. 2. STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH. Spend a few minutes stretching your legs when you are done with a run. Seems small but its the easiest thing to blow off and the…
