Is there an app that can track how far I've run?

[runamc]

hey everyone this may be a stupid question but I'm about to start week 7 an when I do my runs I go to the park to do them so I don't really have any idea how far I've run lol! so I was wondering if there is an app that I can download that will track the distance I've run? is anyone else in the same boat? or can anyone reccomend a reliable app? thanks

Hi try Runkeeper. Seems pretty reliable & gives you a speed for each minute you have run. Tina

yeah the runkeeper app is great, tracks distance, gives you updates on how far you've run, speed, minutes per mile and all that, it also has a little map when you complete it to show where you've been. you can look back at previous runs to see how you've improved, and you can make notes on a run at the end. it works on gps.
you wouldnt want to be paranoid though, i always feel like the government are keeping tabs on me!

Hi. I use endomondo. It is free. I've not yet tried it with Get Running (not sure iof both can work at the same time on my iPhone... I'll try it with my next run (w1r3) ). But Endomondo is great whenever I have used it before. http://www.endomondo.com Regards

Just about to start week 2- enjoying so far! Having read this, I'm about to download runkeeper, but can you use it and get running AND listen to music at the same time?!

Yes, runkeeper can be used along with the get running app and your iphone music. I turned the volume of runkeeper prompts to 0 though as i only wanted to hear the get running prompts. And I've selected my 'running playlist' within runkeeper. It's great analysing the speed u have run throughout and the wee map at the end
