Which app do people use to track runs

I always used to use map my run ... but find it a bit temperamental ... I have an Apple Watch as well so track runs on that ... I read good reviews of the Nike one ... any thoughts ....?

In the meantime happy with a 3. 4 miles in 32 minutes !

Hi. I use Strava and works well.

Experimented with Runkeeper, but just moved to Strava, will be giving that it's first outdoor airing in the morning, great time and distance whatever the tech!

Also use Apple Watch, moved to Strava from Mapmyrun, happy with the way it works so far.

One gripe though - no interval timer included and you can’t use Strava on watch at same time as a separate interval timer, you need to choose one or the other for your run (or take your phone with you).

Apple Watch but before that, MapMyRun

I use an Apple Watch Nike edition and it’s absolutely spot on. Syncs to your iPhone app too so you get more in-depth analysis of your runs

Another Apple Watch user here. I like the little ‘tap’ it gives you for each kilometre so no need for much else. I looked on the App Store for strava but got bored reading about it 😂. Seems to me all the info you need is on the watch 🤷‍♀️

I like Runkeeper. Does everything I want it to.

Garmin and Garmin Connect, but it sends the run to Strava too, Garmin is more accurate but not by much, it just tends to round figures up or down.

Same set up for me too - agree Garmin seems more accurate. 😊

I was using mapmyrun and was happy but now realise it was very inaccurate. I now have to scrub my personal bests because looking at the map it had me literally running through brick walls.

Strava, so far, is keeping much closer to the track that I run on. I’m about to go crazy and treat myself to a Garmin watch though.

You won't regret it. Which one were you thinking of?

The 235. Just had a long service award from work and it’s on offer so thought I’d treat myself.

Yes I have always used map my run but may switch to the Nike one

My daughter has that. Excellent choice :)
