Still dealing with Garmin deficiency and although I must say that the naked running is very freeing to say the least, times that I need to “check in” with my pace to make sure I am on track for the Ragnar Relay: Vegas legs… I had opted to drop the $9.99 on iTunes to use RunKeeper Pro to track my pace.
Although my iPhone is my baby (my very expensive and co-dependent baby) running with it has made me pretty nervous at times. Not only that, but the fact that I have to use an app that sucks my GPS and battery constantly to tell me how fast I’m going… not a big fan.
RunKeeper Pro is accurate, simple and easy to use, it tracks your pace, mileage and allows you to even load a playlist so you can listen to music when you run. The pitfall for me was the battery usage, once I started using it for 10 mile runs on a fully charged battery I was barely able to squeeze out a finishing time before my iPhone totally died.
I’ll give it a B- good for short runs but doubtful I will end up using it a ton.
