    iPhone Running personal records

    I cannot recommend the Workout Sessions app enough for tracking e.g. your personal records for e.g. running, cycling or for other workouts. It has no ads, tracking (unless you want it to use GPS), uses Apple Health data e.g. retrieved from Apple Watch but also works great with Garmin watches...

    Apple Watch Ultra - Heart Rate during runs does not work - spikes and stays high

    I bought the Apple Watch ultra for fitness and specifically running. The heart rate during rest appears to be fine. However, every time I go for a run it will spike to say 170 and stay there for the duration of the run. I tried unpairing, resetting, making sure settings were correct, and the...

    Apps Running: best effort in iOS / WatchOS

    I'm looking for an app that can show "best efforts" for every run stored in Apple Health (eg. you ran 10 miles and the app shows your fastest 5K and 10K times within that run). The app or IAP can be a one time payment (as long as I don't have to pay for a monthly/yearly subscription). For...

    Apps Running Segmemts

    On both old watch 4 and new watch 6, double tapping to record running segments is haphazard. Tried tapping fast, slow, lightly, firmly, tip of finger, finger pad, finger dry, finger sweaty, but nothing seems to work consistently. About 2/3rds of time it works. 1/6th time it goes off where I...

    Apps Time predictor app

    I am trying to find an app that at the end of a run it would show the needed time for a half marathon or a marathon with the pace I have just had. I have seen this on a Garmin watch but I have not been able to find a workout iOS app that does that. Any suggestions?

    iPhone 6(S)/Plus Nike+RunClub gps not working

    Hi, I've always used this app for running and I love it because it tracks my course. Unfortunately, yesterday I saw it was not tracking my run, and it was imprecise. Any idea on what could be happening? I've already checked that location is turned to always, and confirmed that in the app it is...

    GPS and the Nike Apple Watch

    I must be missing something. I have owned numerous GPS enabled watches that I have used for running and cycling. In each instance, the watch must find the GPS signal which sometimes takes minutes. With the Nike watch fully coupled to my iPhone, when I institute the NRC app on the watch, it is...

    Yeah, I'm interested in attempting to jog with my iPhone 8+. I really don't want to spend $399 on a GPS watch. My FitBit stepcounter gives no information on my run besides step counting and is not very accurate without gps (when using with the phone). I'm a pretty big guy - 225 pound 5'11 who...

    I am looking at getting a fitness watch for reading HR and providing data including GPS when going on runs. I'm not the most serious runner, but the more functionality the better. Furthermore, I want to listen to music, and being able to carry only one device a big plus. I've been using my...

    Running with AirPods in the Rain

    Over the past week I've read through pages and pages of comments and posts on Airpods.

They fit great, and it's really...
