Help please... best running app??

[MrsT0707]

I’m about to start Week 8 and for the past couple of weeks I’ve been tracking my C25K runs using MapMyRun. I know the programme isn’t really about speed/distance but I’m a bit of a stats geek so I like to compare my runs and the app syncs well with MyFitnessPal and Fitbit but I wonder if any of the other apps like Strava or Nike+ are better... Wondering what others are using in later weeks or after graduation??

Strava probably has a bigger population on it, but MMR is fine too. Both have their oddities, but you'll be fine with either.

I like Runkeeper. 😀

I have used Endomondo (good for tracking PBs and picks out your fastest 1k, 3k, 5k etc from your run not just splits) Runkeeper ( I have a long standing relationship with Annabelle Runkeeper Smythe and you can programme in intervals), Strava (does comparison sectors with other people who have used the same route and shows pace as different colours) but I can't abandon Annabelle.

They all have strengths and weaknesses. I have only used free versions.

Thank you all that’s really helpful. I think I’ll try a few out different ones and see which I prefer

Do you have to pay for Strava?

[MrsT0707 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

No it’s free to download and use but you can upgrade to a paid version which offers many more features. I want to use the Nike+ app because I’m a sucker for the achievements badges lol but annoyingly it’s not compatible with Fitbit (Strava & MapMyRun are) because Nike are affiliated with Apple. I prefer all my apps to connect to one another as it’s easier to keep track
