Best running apps?

[Nala020512]

Hi

I just wondered what apps you all recommend in terms of keeping track of your distance ran? And do they work if you are listening to Laura too?

Thanks!

The popular ones seem to be MapMyRun, Run|Keeper and Endomondo (but you may find this earlier discussion helpful couchto5k.healthunlocked.co... )

And yes, they can all run in the background while you listen to a podcast or music.

I use Runtastic. Free on itunes store and works well with C25K app too.

It also links into MyFitnessPal app which I am also using as I am calorie counting too and updates directly to that x

I use RunKeeper - also free, and gives me updates every five minutes over whatever else I'm listening to

Nike+ running is a free app that can be used with a GPS phone outside and also can get an estimated reading on a treadmill. Works with the pod casts too.
