So after graduating I’m looking for a new challenge... Are there any apps that show distance run in 30 mins? I can use fit bit but I want to see my progress after each run all in one place so that I can compare each time. Does anyone know how I can do that please? I guess I could just list the distances I run myself but I’m sure there’s a much fancier way! 😊 thanks 😊

If you join Strava, the free version you can join the nhs c25k club on there ( about 287 members) and you can share your runs (safely by selecting the privacy options) with other forum nembers.

You can track and save your run details on there.

Mapmyrun does give you the free option of your distance being called out to you as you run, for example every 1k or every half k.. you can then upload this to Strava...

Its all very exciting keeping track of your runs!..😊xx

Thank you. I can see I’ve got to get to grips with some new apps! 😂They both sound good, thanks ☺️

Oooh! I didn't know you could do this! Thanks Bluebirdrunner I just tried uploading my last run - very slow, wet and muddy - and even succeeded! For some reason Mapmyrun wasn't letting me highlight a segment to see how long the 5K bit took on my last run, but I can see it clearly in Strava. Sadly it was as slow as I thought :D :D :D so I guess I'm still on the lookout for a better, more flattering app :D :D :D

I use Runkeeper, it’s free, although you do have the option to upgrade (and pay) but it keeps distance, time and calories uesd

You could try the Nike Run Club, which is free, records yourvruns and tells you route/time/distance/pace as you go?
