RxSorbo’s Top 3 iPhone Running Apps.

rxsorbo — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 02:52:03 +0000

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.

RxSorbo Weekly Link Round-Up 7/23/10

Hey look, we’re actually on time for this week’s RxSorbo Weekly Link Round-up. A lot has been going on over here at RxSorbo and we wanted to make sure that this weeks post was on time and ready to be viewed.

Men’s Shoes to Wear with Shorts

This is an interesting subject that, believe it or not, a lot of men suffer from. We’re sure that at least once in your life you’ve probably been driving to work and noticed somebody (99.9% of the time its probably an older gentleman) wearing white socks and shorts, with a pair of slip on flipflops. This look may have been “in” sometime before our time, but its definitely an expired sense of fashion. If you know somebody, or maybe you’re one of the instigators polluting others vision by sporting the look (this is a judge free blog so don’t panic), please read this article……help is out there

Going Green

These days, going “green” is the cool thing…..and apparently the green trend is crossing over into this year’s major fashion trend. Take a look at this article and see what awaits us all in the next coming months.

Crazy Shoe of the Week

After last week’s post about “15 Unusual and Creative Fashion Shoes”, we’re really going to try hard to award one pair of shoes with the title: “Crazy Shoe of The Week”. Lets just say that last week’s Bird Shoes took the inagural award…..This week’s winner isn’t too hard too far behind. Please enjoy the lovely Leopard shoes. Notice how the Leopard is on a leash connected to the big toe. We love the designer’s attention to detail.

Best Running Shoes: Consumer Reports

Take a look at the Consumer Reports choice for best running shoes. (summarized version by third party).

Triathlon Training Video

Check out this great Triathlon training video….. Triathlons are a perfect example of an athletically challenging activity where shoe insoles should 100% be taken into serious consideration. (see the below link)

Threshold Training
