Run/Walk App

[PrincessPSU]

Hello,

I recently switched from my old standby iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy. I'm enjoying playing with my new toy and overall am happy with the switch, except for one problem. I don't think I can get my Jeff Galloway app! I'm so used to listening to Jeff's soothing voice as I run! Now what can I do? Are there any interval runners that can recommend a good app for an Android?

Thanks!
Staci

Here's a decent list: http://www.menshealth.com/techlust/best-running-apps

I have an iPhone, so unfortunately, I'm not much help on the Android side of things.

Runkeeper works well for intervals. Its free and easy to set. But it just signals the change. I don't know what the Galloway App did.

I use runkeeper, too. I'm not sure if they are on androids, though.

I used to use Runkeeper (loved it) but it started shutting down my phone after the last update. Now I use the Nike running app which is very similar in how it tracks via GPS and also provides voice feedback at selected time or distance intervals but doesn't have built in training programs like Runkeeper did. With the Nike app I have to also run a workout timer for interval training and I'm not currently using any training program.

If runkeeper works on your phone I'd highly recommend it, I have an HTC Amaze which is only a couple years old (and works great for everything else) but I've been debating getting a new phone just so I can use runkeeper again, I like it that much.

Thanks everyone. I used Runkeeper last night. It was easy to set up the timed intervals that I wanted. My only issue was that I sit my phone on the treadmill and do not wear it, so Runkeeper isn't picking up that I'm actually running.

My previous app had a treadmill setting and an outdoor setting. Back to the drawing board...
