Runkeeper Tracking Screen
Just a quick post about a nice piece of software I got for the iPhone today. It’s called RunKeeper, and is an application that uses the iPhones built-in GPS to track you on a run or cycle ride or similar). It works out your distance, average speed, and graphs your elevation, as well as plotting your course on Google maps. It works extremely well, and allows you to submit your run after you complete it to the online repository. You can then view it there plotted on the map, or use the site to compare subsequent runs.
Runkeeper Run Summary
The shots here don’t really do it justice as such, as they arn’t ‘in use’ shots – but they do give you an idea. For a better shot, see the website at http://www.runkeeper.com/. The bottom shot shows the summary screen on the website once you’ve uploaded your track.
What does this all mean? Oh yes… I’m running again! About bloody time…! 
Felt pretty good actually. Thought it would kill me, but it didn’t! As you can see from the shot, i did 2.29 miles in just under 29 mins. Not too fast, but not too slow either! Just gotta keep it up now, which is definitely the hard part!

Have you tried out Fitnio?
It does all the same things as RunKeeper but is FREE and also tells you how many calories you’ve burned.
Check it out:

oops the dot com got cut off…

Nope – haven’t tried that, but looking at it, it doesn’t seem to have a web front end like Runkeeper, where you can have a look at your previous runs, and plot the routes on a map etc. Apart from that, looks fairly similar.
Oh… my mistake – looks like it does!
I’ll check it out
