Best running app?

Hi all, I would appreciate your opinions on the best running app around. Thanks

You mean apart from the NHS C25k app, I presume.............

Yes, I graduated today and so would like something to record the consolidation runs, have you any suggestions?

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to Hidden]

I use Runkeeper because you can programme in intervals, but they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

What do you want it to do other than time runs and tell you how far you went? As IannodaTruffe says they all have strengths and weaknesses... there’s apps for the stat geeks, those who need to share it all with the world, those wanting to build more complex interval runs, people who want some coaching in their ears... the choices are huge, but all do the basics.

I don’t want to share with the world just how far, how long and split intervals. Maybe I’ll try Runkeeper?? What do you use?

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Runkeeper will do it. I use Garmin connect, Strava and Nike run club 🤣. Nike for guided runs, Strava for... well it shares lots, and it was needed for February not got round to turning it off... and Garmin connect takes the data from my watch and sends it to the other two.

Wow! Haha! Impressive! I’m going with simplicity 🙂 Runkeeper

Get a garmin 😊

I use Strava basically because of the beacon feature (share live location with someone) - I think Garmin have something similar though haven't tried it). As a woman who likes running offroad it gives me a little more sense of security (I have my privacy settings set fairly tightly though to avoid other risks that can come from oversharing!). I like the routebuilding feature on mapmyrun.

I already have a permanent share of my location with a handful of people (partner, family) through Google Maps.
