So Saturday is week 9 Run 3!! But I seem to be getting varying results when it comes to tracking my pace and distance. Samsung Fitness is too high I think but Strava is too low. Has anyone got any suggestions on a reliable app I can use??

I use Adidas Runtastic and think it’s great. I use the free version, and the info appears accurate and there’s lots of interesting detail in the summary

I've driven one route but others are on a rough track. But thanks I'll try google

I use MapMyRun - no idea how accurate it is but it seems to come out at the same distance every run.

This.

When I started running I would time my run then come home and use the plotting feature on MapMyRun to find out how far I'd gone. I think it's pretty accurate. You need to remember where you went though.

Thanks, I tried that and liked how it told me how far I'd gone along the way

Runkeeper app seems quite accurate.
