Running apps

What free running apps do people use? I want to start tracking my pace and distance. Thanks 🙂

Hi,

Try MapMyRun or Runkeeper both really good. If you use MyFitnessPal then mapmyrun links in well. Hope this helps

I use Strava on my phone. I also bought a second hand Garmin watch but as it tracks exactly the same as my phone (and I still need the phone to listen to Laura), it's a waste at the moment. I'll use the watch once I run naked (without the podcast). Strava is great - it tracks you via GPS and doesn't need internet data til you get home.

Another user of Strava as have phone for C25K anyway.

Again, Strava runs along side c25k and music , no problem.

I use strava. I like that it shows you the different segments you pass, so you can compare them as you progress through the couch to 5k programme.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 15 which I bought second hand on eBay. It tracks runs really well and is perfect for my needs. It links to Garmin Connect and also to Strava which I have on my phone.

Garmin watch and Garmin app that hooks into both Nike plus and Strava....

I'm a total nerd 😜😜 oh I also sync Garmin with Running Heroes just in case you grab a freebie along route 😎

Strava for me too.

Runtastic for me. Does the same as Strava.
