Who would have though it a year ago ? Me making a blog post about running ! Well probably not me that’s for sure !
So today i will mention what i use for tracking my running, I use the IOS app ‘Runtastic’. I think it was probably 1.99, maybe 2.99 but it is worth every penny.
It will GPS track your run and map it out along with your pace, elevation, heart rate e.t.c. It has social functions so you can share your runs on facebook / twitter. All of it works dazzlingly well, there is the occasional crash but it always seems to recover.
Runtastic has an associated Apple Watch app, which has basic functionality (start, stop!) but in all honesty it doesn’t work so well so i just stick to using it on the phone.
There is also the runtastic.com website, where all your activities are stored and can be analysed. There are premium options for graphing things but as of yet i have not seen the need to actually even think about signing up for that.
For me this kind of app should be built into the iPhone / Watch, Apple are missing a trick there i think.
