What does everyone use (if you do) to track their distance? I've got the free version of Runtastic but wondered if there was a better one out there?

Thanks

I generally use my Garmin watch. But also use an app called Runkeeper as I like to hear how long i've been running in my ear :)

I have the free Map my Run which has been great so far- just turn off voice feedback as otherwise it interrupts Laura!

I use Nike Plus Running, too. I like that you can set distance or time goals for each of your runs. Your profile in the app displays your Farthest Run, Longest Run, Fastest 1K, Fastest 1 Mile, and Fastest 5K. It also has Trophies (achievements), which are nice little motivators :)

Endomondo (free) on my android phone. Gives splits, pace, pb's, can change metric/imperial etc.

I have tried Runtastic, Nike+ Running and MapMyRun.

Settled on Runtastic at the moment as it allows to export run data should I decide to change the app.

Nike+ is great but no known way to export run data to another apps.

When travelling on business, I use Mapmyrun to check out routes that I can run.

There speaks a man whose phone has a happy amount of memory on it <sigh>.

I think I'll stick to Runtastic, do you have the free version or is it worth upgrading?

I upgraded to the paid version as I found the ads very annoying.
