The weather has picked up, which means there\u2019s no excuse not to go for a run. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve chosen this week\u2019s app, which makes running on a regular basis even easier!<\/p>\n
Runkeeper is hardly a hidden secret; it\u2019s one of the most popular running apps around, and for good reason.<\/p>\n
Runkeeper features tracking for runs, walks, bike rides, workouts and much more using GPS. Over the course of your workout, Runkeeper calculates your pace, the distance you\u2019ve covered and the calories you\u2019ve burnt. The results are presented on screen or via audio depending on your preferences.<\/p>\n
It also features pre-planned routes, training plans and full integration with most fitness trackers.<\/p>\n
Unlike some other running apps, Runkeeper has been designed for both beginner and experience runners. It\u2019s simple interface and guidance means its not too daunting for new joggers (a major issue with other apps!), but it offers enough customisation for runners who know what programmes they want to follow and what data they want to access.<\/p>\n
Another major advantage is that Runkeeper doesn\u2019t operate in isolation. It can integrate with a number of apps, including MyFitnessPal, SleepCycle and Spotify.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s so easy to use! You don\u2019t need to have a sports science degree to get the most out of Runkeeper, which makes it brilliant for beginners. The guided programmes should be enough to stave off the temptation of an evening on the sofa too!<\/p>\n
Equally, it\u2019s a great app to use if you do <\/i>know how best to use your running data. It\u2019ll give you pretty much everything you need to tailor your workout to your goals.<\/p>\n
Oh, and its free too.<\/p>\n
It can\u2019t physically make you go outside and run. That\u2019s an obstacle you\u2019ll have to tackle yourself, although we reckon a few inspirational quotes sent through push notifications would help.<\/p>\n
