Favorite Running App?

[MapleGirl]

Does anyone know of an app where I can type in my desired distance and the phone will create a route loop for me?

What is your favorite running app?

I just started using irunner. I really like it. It tracks my distance and speed. It's very simple to use.

Not sure of any that make up a route for you, however million dollar idea, I'll be right back

I used to run, and now cycle/bike and Ive found the best to be the Map My apps. Map My Fitness, Map My Run, and I use Map My Ride.

YOu can search for loops in your area by distance etc. Plus if you use iphone it will work as gps through the app to track your distance, map the route, give you time and splits etc.

You can also track food and other exercises through both the app and the site online.

Im Om_Boy1 on there, add me as a friend if you join!

I don't know of an app that does that but I use map my walk (should really switch to run...). Luke a pp said it give me time, distance, calories burned, split times, and shows it on a map. I can also bookmark it to compare previous times.

What I'd like to know is if there are any apps that you can set a distance goal and it counts down until complete.

I think of seen iphone apps that do that. Sorry, though, cant recall exact names.

i think my sister uses irunner as that rings a bell.im thinking of buying a watch to do that for me instead of using my phone.

Nike+ Running will count up to halfway then down to the end. I've been using it for more than a year, and like it. Occasionally tall buildings or trees block the GPS signal, and really mess up the readings.

Haha ha....

I really love the C25K app.
I'm being told that it's better to take brisk walks for several weeks before you begin running but I don't like that idea for some reason. I have to say I've really enjoyed running and I figure if I can work on my form, breathing, etc. right out of the gate, I'll be better off in the long run. : )

I use MapMyRun on my phone. Love it.

Another vote for the MapMy* apps. I like to use MapMyRun to log my runs, bike rides, and swim workouts. I even use it while walking our dog to see how far we've gone. If it's any less than 3 miles I can count on the fact that he'll still have excess energy when we get home

I usually just use it to see how far I've gone and how quickly I've done it, but I've also used it a few times to pre-plan my routes in unfamiliar turf. That way it's quick to just look down and see how far until the next turn, almost like Nav for your legs. You can also compare yourself to previous times on the same routes, or to other runners in the area if you so choose.

Nike+ Running is great if you wear that brand show.
I've been using RunKeeper for a while and enjoy the website for finding useful routes others use while traveling.
