ASICS Runkeeper
An app that tracks your runs and keeps you going with goals.
What ASICS Runkeeper does
ASICS Runkeeper is a long-running GPS tracker for runs, walks and other workouts. It gives you audio cues while you move, goals to aim for and monthly challenges. The free version covers most everyday running. Runkeeper Go, the paid plan, adds race training plans and more insights.
Runkeeper has been around since the early iPhone days, and it still does the basics well. Start a run, and it tracks distance, pace and splits by GPS, with audio updates in your ear so you don't need to look at your phone. You can log walks and other activities too, or add them by hand.
Goals help you stay on track, like a number of runs a week or a target distance. Monthly challenges, including group challenges with friends, add a reason to get out. There are audio-guided workouts for beginners and intervals, a shoe tracker that reminds you when to replace your shoes, and live location sharing with people you choose.
Runkeeper Go is the paid layer. It adds training plans for 5K up to the marathon, and more detailed progress insights. If you just want a reliable run tracker with a bit of encouragement, the free version is a solid, calm choice.
