Strava and map my run.

I’ve not personally tried map my run, but heard people have had issues.

Strava works for me though.

Tbf I go way overboard,

- I have my Fitbit flex which recognises it automatically

- I use my Apple Watch sometimes which I like coz it shows which sections you did faster than others

- I use Strava which I like because it maps my runs and compares it to the previous time I ran that route and stuff like that

Just have a play about with a few and you’ll find something that works well for you

I use the built in “Activity” app, in conjunction with an Apple Watch.

I have a Fitbit which does it automatically as a basic run into the Fitbit app or I can make it track using my phone GPS which gives much more details. I also have Trails which is useful for altitude as well as splits etc.

Somebody mentioned that Strava meant 'horror' in Croatian/Serbian languages which put me off somehow. Yeah, Endomondo here as well.

Hi mandy

I use Sportstracker. Had it long before I started C25K, good for all kinds of movement biking walking etc. Saveable workouts and lots of stats and stuff if your' in to that. I just start it when I start the running bit of my 'run'. Helps me track if I'm getting any faster. Cos at the moment (starting wk 9!) I am nowhere near 5k. So I know how far I have gone in my 28 mins.

find it in appstore with this link,
