My running apps, what are yours? (Gear)

These are my current IOS running related apps (or sometimes just a link to a website, like with the NHS link).

My old, trusty C25k and the C25k spreadsheet tucked away in a folder, I am not yet ready to delete it!

Ohh nice, yes forgot the park run apps. I haven’t run a park run yet, but there is a very nice app for it: “5k” by Michael Clayton. It tracks your runs, provides your barcode and you can look at the park run lists. Nicer than the official website.

Since graduating I’ve downloaded Run Zombie Run (interactive running game, clever and a good distraction) and Nike Running Club, (guided runs of various times / distances) both I’ve found to be really good 👍

I didn't even realise some of those existed as apps so thanks for posting... now need to go delete stuff to make space for some new ones 😁 (C25K already gone 😕)

Currently I have:

Garmin Connect

Strava

Zwift Companion

Darn it I’m still using C25K with Strava (to measure distance/times). I alternate between run 9.2 and the nhs choices podcast. How do you use those other apps?

The first three are the ones running simultaneously during every run:

——

Runkeeper - my main tracker and coach (for those who have never tried changing the voice, try diff’t ones! They are hilarious 😂)

Spotify - to provide music whilst running

Enso - to give me that half way bell, but I might change the way I use runkeeper to give me a halfway signal

Then for after/not running:

——

VT Stretch - simple coached stretch app where I can set up my stretch routine for after runs

Tabata Timer - newest addition, as it has audio signals, used for my various fitness exercises when there is no podcast

Footpath - research my routes and map out distances before running

Health Unlocked App - I find it better than the website

End to End - just a link to the webpage where one submits the mileage run

And as you, I still have my C25k app, which I am not emotionally ready to delete yet... or ever will be..😊🙏

Garmin Connect (every run)

Strava (every run)

MapMyRun (don’t need now, won’t delete!)

Run-go (never use)

JogRunSprint (avoid!)

Runkeeper (never use)

Footpath (rarely use)

C25K (for nostalgic runs with MJ!)

NRC (never use)

So loads, but I could do away with all but Garmin Connect and Strava! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Great ideas for my list. Will try and add some apps thankyou. Unfortunately Laura and the CTO5K app failed me post week 7 and I could never get her to return! She starts off OK telling me to begin the 5 minute warm up walk and then nothing.. nought.. zero.. she's gone. So I am just going to have to finish the last 2 runs of week 9 alone with my bbc sounds 😅🆗⬆️
