What you use may depend upon which stats you want…
- Pace
- Distance
- Cadence
- Heart Rate
- VO Max
Here are FIVE popular options to track your running progress:
2. Strava
3. Runkeeper
4. MapMy Run
5. RunAnalyze

On daily runs, I sometimes use the Runkeeper app on my Apple watch.
I use it to set up run/walk interval runs. It shows me the distance and the pace. That’s enough for me and I usually delete the stats afterward.
For races, I wear my Garmin watch and sync my stats to Strava.
My Garmin syncs to an app on my iPhone (and Garmin Connect). It shows me the distance, elevation, pace, cadence for each race.
The app also syncs to Strava. It shows me the same info but it also adds social interaction. And I can add photos. So I can share my stats with other runners and follow them, as well.
Happy Running! What do you use to track your running progress? Please share.

I’ve always tracked my runs with Garmin but since I wear my Apple watch all the time I think I’ll try using Runkeeper when I return to running. Would you believe I’ve never used Strava?

I don’t look at it often but I’m not interested in the social aspect of it but many runners are…

I only use Garmin, and then I write down all the details of my workouts in my planner. Yes, I’m very old school on this! I never use Strava. The less complicated the better, is what I say.
