Mobile Running Apps: What Do You Use?
I'm a bit of a geek about my gadgetry, Apps and such things! This morning I asked the following question on Twitter, to see what others use:
Question for an upcoming blog post… What are your favourite Running Mobile Apps and why? Remember to state if iPhone/iPad or Android etc :)
— James Dunne (@KineticRev) January 23, 2014Your Choice of Mobile Running Apps...
Having been inundated with the many responses to my question, I thought I'd share a selection in today's blog post :)
Note Jan 2014: New and updated apps are constantly hitting the market, so I obviously foresee that this post will need to be updated in coming months...
@KineticRev Nike+ for my running, Strava for the cycling. Both on iphone. Have used Sports Tracker and Runtastic in the past too
— Marc Hemingway (@zepalm) January 23, 2014@KineticRev @zepalm best app for me is Strava - recognises Biking and Running and had tuned apps for both but a single log of workouts!
— Marty (@Mojo_Marty) January 23, 2014@KineticRev endomondo for android. Simple, auto-pause, compare progress with friends, review activity stages.. Its simple to use. Love!
— Sel Leigh (@MissusSel) January 23, 2014@KineticRev I use run keeper on iPhone. I find live feedback of time and pace useful. However distance run can vary when completing same run
— Oliver Mills (@O_C_Mills) January 23, 2014@KineticRev I've only ever used Strava, on my phone. Often get weird jumps and misses on the GPS track, which is annoying.
— Daniel Jones (@thatdanieljones) January 23, 2014@KineticRev runkeeper for iOS simple easy to use with good features that don’t need paying for only negative is can’t export on free version
— Ben (@TheFoolTweets) January 23, 2014@KineticRev also been trying runmeter on iOS which has more ways to analyse data but need to pay for some essential features
— Ben (@TheFoolTweets) January 23, 2014@KineticRev Iphone - Strava, only 1 I found that worked and love the 'courses' element and online dashboard Great that I can sync garmin too
— Stephanie The Magpie (@amagpieinthesky) January 23, 2014@KineticRev I use ShoeCycle on iPhone to track distance on each pair of shoes.
— Gemma Rathbone (@gemmarathbone) January 23, 2014@KineticRev Oh, and PaceCalc on iPhone to work out pace per mile for a targeted time.
— Gemma Rathbone (@gemmarathbone) January 23, 2014@KineticRev been using the @MyASICS app for marathon training programme. Very good for establishing a structure and recording progress.
— Never Ending List (@neverendingneil) January 23, 2014@KineticRev Strava for iPhone
— Simon Olney (@Simon_Olney) January 23, 2014@kineticrev one of my favorite app is Lisgo for listing to long blog posts during my runs …
— Laufend Entdecken (@laufenentdecken) January 23, 2014@KineticRev For me it's @myithlete
— John O'Regan (@johnoregan777) January 23, 2014@KineticRev Nike+, since they sorted their website stability, it's been perfect. Great for challenging friends and sharing info.
— Scoob (@scottcbooth) January 23, 2014@KineticRev I like Runtastic on Android. I like the layout, it's easy to read, not too cluttered, and how it posts a tweet of a run.
— John (@RipCurlRunner) January 23, 2014@KineticRev zombies run! on iphone it has all stats that nerds love (me also) but tells a pretty good story at the same time, or endomondo
— [DK]mutley6969 (@mutley6969uk) January 23, 2014@KineticRev @Strava used on both iPhone and android. IPhone version preferred, few glitches with android.
— Matthew Hunt (@somethinkblue) January 23, 2014@KineticRev map my run for iPhone is my favorite that I have found.
— dustin kipper (@dustinkipper) January 23, 2014@KineticRev Runner's Log by Fikes Farm for both iPhone and iPad. Keeps track of all runs, shoe mileage, pace, distance, stats, more.
— Run Shamelessly (@RunShamelessly) January 23, 2014@KineticRev Adidas micoach does everything also good for planning routes on PC. Now runkeeper as intro by a PT. Nike+ basic in my eyes
