Tracker app

[Mummyfit90210]

Hi everyone...

Just wondering what tracker app everyone uses? I’m wanting to see how far we’ve travelled and see a map (my son would like to keep a diary of the progress and routes)...

Can they be open in the background whilst running the podcast at the same time?

I downloaded ‘map my run’ last night but not used it yet, will this work or should I use a different one ?

Thank you xx

There are some crackers on there. See 'The Running Channel' on YouTube as it has a recent video on all the popular apps. I use Strava and Nike Run Club and you can have your music on simultaneously. Map my run is ok too. Good luck.

Most of the free apps will do the job alongside the C25k app.

They have different strengths and weaknesses, so you have to experiment to find out what you like best.

Used the tracker for the first time yesterday... great to be able to see a map which my boy loves but I hated when it interrupts the couch to 5k app to update you at every km.... especially when we are running at the time (because it pauses the app and I have to run for longer lol!!! )

Might try a new one tomorrow but I’m not very technical - week 4 run one done yesterday and a few tears from the young one at the end when he got stitch bless him ☹️

We are very proud of ourselves so far xx

Strava is what I use, I’ve never had any problems with it running alongside the c25k app, you guys are doing great,

Keep it up and enjoy your journey 👍👊

Bit late to reply but....I started c25k in Nov last year (but quit on week 9 due to Xmas parties etc) and used Map my Run with no problems.

I’ve just started c25k from the beginning again and have noticed Map my Run pauses c25k EVERY time I use it.

I’ve had a look in the map my run settings and there is an option to turn ‘voice feedback off’ in settings. I’ve just turned it off and will see if that solves it next time I run!! I struggle completing the runs without the extra few seconds it takes me to realise it’s on pause 😂

Good luck!!
