Running apps

[Lola-bear]

Hello I am looking for recommendations for an app to track the distance I am running. I am up to week 8 and as I’m feeling more confident I would like to know how far I’m actually running.

Many thanks

There are several like "map my run" , or "strava"I personally use the free version of "strava"

Not of course "Starva" as I said in my pre edited post !

Thanks nowster 🤣

Is "starva" the slimmed-down version? 🤣

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Oh yes , hadn't noticed that 🤣🤣🤣

Free sounds good thank you

Many of us use Strava without a subscription. There's also an "NHS C25Kers" group on there.

Thank you

There are many. Which ones are available depends on whether you have an iPhone or an Android phone.

About week 7 I decided to splash out on a Garmin watch.

Thank you seems a popular choice

I think it depends what data you want. I used map my run first as it was free and I could log on my phone using phone gps , if it's just to log distance try that see how you get on. I didn't use it for long I ended up getting a secondhand Garmin watch . since then I've upgraded the watch!

Okay thank you never thought of doing that

Strava for me and the free version, also heard the Nike run app is good once you have completed the C25k , good luck!
