Favorite running app
Ive been using map my run for years. Over the past few years he features have become more restricted (unless you pay for an endless subscription) and advertisements have become more pervasive. Ive started running intervals to up my speed but I had a terrible time finding an app that used the GPS to determine interval pace. When I found this app I was very skeptical. There is a nice video on YouTube that reviews the app and some of the best features. Ive really come to like the ability to race my best time on my previous routes. I also export my data to other apps so I dont feel like Im severing all connections with my past or Im permanently tied to this company if down the roads they get bought out and they become just like map my run.
The company seems to constantly be improving this app. With that in mind here are a couple of wish list items:
I wish they offered a different way to break out the splits in the workout log. Right now the splits are 1 mile. However, 1 min splits are helpful for finding your lactate threshold.
I wish they allowed more than 5 heart rate zones. For some training its important to break up zone 4 (some papers call it 4a, 4b, and 4c) to better target a training ride (cycling) hear rate.
I would recommend this app to anyone who is a numbers geek when it comes to running.
