Once I completed my run, the app gave me basic stats like distance, time, pace, and calories burned as well as a breakdown of my splits for each mile. I could also connect my music through Spotify or Apple Music. When I went to start my run, I was able to choose which activity I was doing (there’s even a stopwatch mode), what audio stats I wanted, and how often I wanted to hear them.
This app was my favorite by far because of not just its look, but also how customizable it is. Runkeeper is owned by Asics, and as an avid Asics shoe owner, it added to the appeal of the app. It has a lovely light blue color scheme, fun fonts, and an easy-to-navigate interface that made me think running was going to be fun. I fell in love just looking at the design of Runkeeper. My favorite feature: Gorgeous interface and clear running stats. So, I decided to test the six most popular running apps using the same 3-mile loop to figure out my favorite, and boy, my legs are tired. Each one works slightly differently, and it can be overwhelming to choose which one is best. There are a lot of running apps out there with many associated with brands like Nike, Asics, and Under Armour. They can track your run path, mile splits, and elevation, and even have special features like running plans and playlists.
The easiest way to track your runs is with the help of a running app. I don't need to get too scientific, but I do get motivated by seeing my mile splits get lower over time or watching my mileage climb because it’s physical proof that I’m improving. One of my favorite ways to do this is by tracking my data. Nowadays, I can’t even imagine running when it’s colder than 50 degrees, let alone going for more than a few miles.īut now that it’s finally spring, I’ve decided to hit the pavement, throw on my favorite sneakers and wireless headphones, and try to get into this whole running thing again. You could find me out there nearly every day in rain, snow, or shine, running multiple miles and even getting a couple of half marathons under my belt. Back in high school, I was an avid runner.
