iRunner Run & Jog Tracker

I have been using iRunner for several years. I like it more than several others that I have tried, although all have their strong and weak points. I’m a 64 year old with hypertension, and my goal is just to slow the aging process. (I’m not expecting a call from the USOC). I particularly like the feature that tells me how much my heart rate has decreased at 1 and 2 minutes after a workout. The screens are very customizable. My only complaint is that sometimes the customizations don’t seem to appear where I expect them to, but I probably just need to re-read the instructions.

I love this app because not only does it offer a spectrum of exercises to choose from but you can also document and record your performance duration. Maybe it’s just me but it actually beckons me. I have my timer set to remind me it’s time to exercise and when I want to ignore it, it’s as if the app speaks directing me ‘if not now, later.’ So I will either get on with my exercise or I set it for later time. Looking at my recorded performance is an awesome feeling. I can see what I’ve done and remind myself, “this is what it takes to stay healthy and keep the unwanted weight off! I love iRunner!

This app has behaved nicely for me (except for disappearing 60% of my travels a while ago) for several years. Recent update, seemed to be ok. Walk tonight's map has an interesting extraneous "you walked here" line on it in a place I sure didn't walk. The "distance walked" metric did not include that line's distance. I will be watching...Stars will go up if this blip doesn't continue happening. It's a good little tracker ordinarily. No blip on same route today; stars up from 3 to 5.
