Running app?

Any good running apps? I have map my run but I can't get it to make splits it always shuts off. Ugh any other good running app to mark workouts, distance, splits, total  time, averages, etc like map my run?  

Re: Running app?

  • I like the latest Nike+ app a lot.
  • Before I got a Garmin, I used Runtastic and LOVED it! It's really accurate , does your splits, and you can play your own music on it.

    Just out of curiosity - if the app worked well why did you get a Garmin?  (I hope that doesn't come across snarky, I'm genuinely curious :) 

    I recently got a Garmin because I was tired of the MapMyRun app not working... but I didn't know there were useful apps out there before I paid $150 for the Garmin.  :(

    Also, what are splits?  Do you ladies mean as in a run split up in to two parts?  Or something else?

    You didn't ask me, but from my experience MapMyRun didn't cut it for runs longer than 8-10 miles. The GPS really drains the battery on a smartphone. The other benefit of the garmin is that it's easier to wear it on your wrist (clunky or not) than to deal with a phone bouncing around.

  • I use runkeeper. One of my friends had a problem with it with accuracy, but it's been working great for me. It's very user friendly IMO.

  • I use runkeeper also. I love it. 

    I had one run that was calculated inaccurately, and it was grossly inaccurate (said I did 9, really did 7). I don't know why this happened, but it has never happened since. After that I used mapmyrun.com to double check my routes, and they all  match up.

    I just had this happen. Otherwise I love it. I have also used Nike+ and like that one too.
