Weather allowing, I’m going to ride the trail below tomorrow and I’m going to beat my best. Yeah, I know my “best” is pretty darn sluggish but it’s mine and it feels so good to get out there.
After using both Nike+ GPS and Runkeeper a few times I find Runkeeper to be the superior app. The GPS tracks are more detailed and it runs flawlessly as a background app.
At least four times the Nike+ GPS app has died while running in the background and I was disappointed at the end of each run to discover that only part of the course was captured, or nothing at all. It’s a completely different story with Runkeeper. It’s gotten to the point where I actually try to crash Runkeeper by taking HDR photos and processing them on the phone, or streaming music in the background with Last.fm. I can’t make it crash. I can only guess as to why Runkeeper decided to change the price of their iOS app from $9.99 to free but I’ll take it.
