CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A SUITABLE APP .......

I'm about to start Week 8 and with these longer runs have found I need to ditch Laura and run to my own playlist/s.

However, I'm wondering if there's an app out there that can be set up to tell you how long you've run/got left to run? I like the fact that Laura let's me know when I'm half way through the run and when I've only got say 5 mins and then 1 min to go.

I tried using the C25K Change for Life app which is meant to allow me to have Laura's voice and my own music but it isn't working properly on my iphone. I use MapMyRun to track my distance etc and wonder if it could be interfering with it. Either way, if anyone knows of an app that can do this could they let me know. Thanks!

You could give RunKeeper a try. You can create a bespoke workout with different steady / slow phases.

I'd recommend RunKeeper for that too

I use runtastic pro I can set it up to tell me through my earphones distances and time but I don't think I can set it up to count down. It will just tell me I have done ?k not that I have ?k left. I would be interested to know if there is one that will count down. Saying that runtastic has covered the bases for me.

I just look at my watch, that seems to work well enough. Although I might check out some of these apps mentioned here.

Ive been playing my own music while using runkeeper, runkeeper lets you know every five mins how far and what speed you have run

I used to use MapMyRun but found it quite inaccurate - it routed me through the boating lake in my local park!. I've switched to Endomondo and think it's much better. Lady Endomondo talks to me!!
