djplong Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 RIght now, I'm in Week 3 and I'm using a 1km-lap course I mapped out on Google maps to see how far these workouts go. I looked at the distance recorded in C25K Pro but, even though I would end a session at nearly the same point, I had wildly different distances recorded in the app that didn't even come close to matching what I had from Google. As the weather gets better and I start running longer, I might get bored with this same lap (ok, I *will* get bored and that's going to defeat my purpose). I was thinking of using MapMyRun to see if that would accurately track distance. My only immediate concern is whether or not it might conflict with the other 2 apps running. To this point, I've been using C25K for the voice prompts and that has worked perfectly when playing music that's on my iPhone from a playlist and "mostly good" when playing music on my SiriusXM app (internet streaming). It doesn't seem to pick up the song/artist but that's no biggie so long as I can still pause/skip as needed. Has anyone used MapMyRun in conjunction with C25K *and* a music app going concurrently? I'd like to be able to keep track of my distance and time when I'm not on a prepared course and, say, just running in the park until the C25K app says the party's over. Comments? Reviews? Advice? Thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djplong Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Well, I tried the free version of the app and it worked perfectly. It gave me splits via voice alerts (I'm glad they didn't come during C25K's alerts) and the map and charts after I finished the session were fantastic. This one's a keeper. I'll definitely be upgrading to the paid app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
