Best running app suggestions
Want to start running. Several apps to choose from. Anyone tried them? Which do you like?

I use runkeeper pro and I'm very happy/impressed with it. The audio cues for time distance are great.
I had a question about the app and got a very quick email reply from customer support. On a side note, I started using the motorolla Bluetooth headphones when I run and they're awesome for running. No wires bouncing and flopping around. Sometimes the audio gets patchy and I have to re-pair them, but still nice. Last edited by soilsample; 09-14-2009 at 01:57 PM.. |

is runkeeper pro good for a beginner? I really need to start slow, about 50 pounds overweight and lazy (I am honest though!).

With runkeeper, you can set your workout intervals to .25 mile and get audio updates every time you go that far.
It's great for beginners, I'm one too. After you run/walk/jog/bike you can save your session to their website. This let's you track your workout progress. Daffy- stick with it! I'm still over weight @ 5'10" and 205lbs. But I was about 260 last Christmas. Yesterday I ran 3.08 miles. I'm gonna try a 5k charity run this Saturday!!! Edit: forgot to mention that runkeeper can run in foreground while iPod plays. I'm jailbroken, so I use backgrounder to play pandora music in background. Good music makes running so much more enjoyable! Last edited by soilsample; 09-15-2009 at 08:40 AM.. |
