The introduction of the iPhone and its versatile applications (aka: apps) has literally changed the way people function on a day to day basis. Before, people used to have to pull over and ask for directions if they got lost while driving, now an application exists where it will give several routes for getting you destination. Ever have an outdoor event/party your going to and you’re unsure of the weather? There are a bunch of apps that will show you a Doppler image of your area giving a pin point image of how the weather is and what to expect later in the day. To sum things up, there is a pretty good chance there will be an app available for anything that you desire…including running. We wanted to give you RxSorbo’s top 3 iPhone apps purely dedicated to running. Why only 3 you ask? Well……it’ll be easier for you to decide which one to go with instead of looking at 10 option where seven of the suck.

RunKeeper Pro By FitnessKeeper, Inc.

RunKeeper uses the GPS technology found in the iPhone to track your fitness activity, giving you comparable results to an expensive GPS watch at a fraction of the cost. Now, you can also enter your activities manually, including your treadmill runs too!

Fitnio: GPS Exercise Tracker

By Fitnio, LLC

Fitnio displays the same data as a treadmill or stationary bike. This app integrates with the iPhone’s GPS technology to give you real-time, accurate fitness feedback. Fitnio automatically calculates and displays your distance, speed, pace and calories burned.

Run Coach Pro

By Revolver

This app literally acts like a digital coach. It’s a perfect fit for anybody looking to training for a marathon or other running event.

Hopefully these apps will help make tracking your running progress a tad bit easier. Keep in mind the essentials of running: proper hydration, comfort (via insoles), nutrition and the most important of them all, fun. Be sure to check back for more information on running, training, walking, health, insoles, feet, etc.
