Good app for tracking distance while running?

[staticshock]

can someone please recommend a good running app? I’m fukking sick of this Nike run app.

It eats up my battery almost to a point where I think the app is broken. I can start off with 100%, & after a few minutes of using it my battery will be down to 63%. It also makes my phone turn off when I’m using it once my battery life hits below 40%.

When I try to turn it back on, somehow the battery life is at 10%, and it will continue to turn itself on & off until I get home and put it on the charger.

Any good recommendations?

It doesn’t happen with other apps tho..YouTube eats my battery fast as hell too but not on the level of the Nike app

I like the Strava app for the tracking features. Last year I got into a stretch where I was getting into setting low hanging Strava Course Records, and its fun to see yourself on top of a leaderboard. (Until some REAL athlete comes along and knocks you off ).



But, now I'm thinking about it, my experience with it doesn't exactly match what you are asking. I have a Polar watch, which automatically tracks running distances in its own app and syncs with Strava...AFTER the run. But I've never actually tried to run Strava in real time, so I have no idea what it would do to my battery usage.

I got a garmin watch that syncs into nike after the run...

Running with just your phone is cool, but certain things can be misleading and you won't see your heart rate

I heard Strava is good .

I ran using Nike + for years until I got a garmin watch. Love it. I got tired of running with my phone and the spotty GPS .

I have the fenix 3 in case you're wondering. The forerunner is good if you like listening to music.

MapMyFitness is free and relatively simple to use

Un related with the Nike Run app but I'd highly suggest getting a battery replacement from Apple. They're offering a replacement for $29 up until Dec 31st, 2018 then it's back to $49. I got an appointment with them for tomorrow.

You can go to the Apple store or send your phone in. I'm stopping by one that's close to my office after work tomorrow to drop off the phone.

Fan of Strava myself.

Use it for running and cycling.

Not bad for someone 40+ who never had any athletic ability
