Hi, I’m Joseph Albertwine and from techstartingpoint.com I want to tell you about an application that helped me with running.
Apps to lose weight: Runkeeper – software for run
Remember that in general doctors who take seriously this type of activity will recommend you to do studies to determine how your heart, skeleton or muscles will be affected and they are going to make a determination for each case..
The main factor that helped me lose weight was running. I started walking for one hour every day and with time I was adding trotting distances longer and longer. I wanted an application to measure how much distance I was travelling in my hour of training. That would allow me to consider making different routes knowing in advance the total distance to which he would arrive approximately.
Runkeeper gave me that and much more in its free version. It is available for iPhone, android and if you register. You can also check the data generated from your website.
To use runkeeper simply start the application. Select the activity: running and verify for a few seconds that the GPS has a good signal. In that case, the green signal is painted and when you’re ready to press “GO RUNNING” and start running. To finish press the button with the pause symbol. It shows you the distance that you travelled, the speed and the time that you took and it gives you the option of resuming the activity or ending it pressing stop.
Pressing “save activity” is enough if you are registered but if you want. You also can input additional information like:
- How did you feel during the training;
- who you ran with;
- set a training name;
- write a note;
- what shoes did you wear and more information?
You can also see a map with the route you made and in the “splits” you can see the speed you did for each section. You also have graphics that show you the speed at which you made the journey and the altitude.
The history of your runs is available both on mobile devices and from the web. If you notice any problems with the distances that it records or the route. I recommend you check the configuration of GPS and your smartphone. Sometimes just restarting is enough to adjust what kind of issues or verify that the number of applications you are running at that moment be suitable for the capacity of your cell phone.
In the Settings section besides the language, you can configure the notices that you will be giving runkeeper while you are running. Then in “Audio Stats” you configure
- What voice do you want from the announcements?
- How often; or every how much distance;
- And what data do you want to listen to as
- speed,
- time,
- distance and
- other data.
This configuration is also available from the main screen. It also has an auto-pause option which stops the activity both the clock and the statistics if you stop and resume when you start running again.
For example when you stop before crossing a street. In my particular case, I prefer to bend a little and keep running.
If you have friends that use runkeeper you can get notifications when they finish their workouts and you also have access to the history of their workouts and you can put both likes and comments and according to the activity you have, some congratulations are coming like when you travelled a greater distance than you usually do or longer or when it notices persistence in the training you do as well as being attentive to send reminders when it perceives that you stopped running for a while.
If you usually input your weight, it records your weight history over time as well as calculate the calories you spend in each workout. All this is configurable in the Settings section. Runkeeper also combines music. You can activate your music application from runkeeper and the volume of the music will go down when runkeeper gives you announcements. Runkeeper has other features that I do not use.
For example, you can select the activity. In addition to the running activity, you have cycling, mountain bike, ski, swimming, race in, wheelchair, walk and others. And you can also specify to do routines. It has some predefined but you can add yours indicating repetitions and “warm-up” and “cool down” “warm-up” and “cool down”.
Tell me in the comments section of how it was when you used it
