If you\u2019re on the lookout for some useful and innovative apps to take your running to the next level, then look no further. Here we\u2019ve listed and explained some of our favourite running apps of 2020 that can help take your workouts to the next level!<\/p>\n

All types of different apps are outlined below, so there should hopefully be at least one that suits your individual requirements.<\/p>\n

Strava \u2013 Tracking App<\/h3>\n

Strava is often the favoured tracking app for cyclists, swimmers and runners alike. The app is used by both experienced athletes and those who just enjoy a leisurely jog, providing the essential GPS tracking, average pace and a wide range of other metrics that\u2019ll help to keep tabs on your performance.<\/p>\n

Unlike other tracking apps, Strava also tracks your pace throughout different segments of your run and allows you to compare your time to other runners\/cyclists who have covered the same route. This aspect makes the app particularly suited to competitive runners who want to compare their performance against friends or other runners within their area.<\/p>\n

One of its unique benefits is its goal tracking feature that enables athletes to set themselves goals and track their progress as it happens. You\u2019re able to set yourself a target of covering a specified distance, running a route in a set time and so on, so is ideal if you\u2019re striving to continually improve your ability or are training for an upcoming event.<\/p>\n

Nike+ Run Club \u2013 Coaching App<\/h3>\n

Nike+ Run Club is app we love and often recommend to participants of our monthly running virtual challenges<\/a>. It\u2019s the ultimate tool for improving your running, pushing you all the way to help you get the most out of your workouts. The app is tailored to you and provides audio-guided running workouts from Nike\u2019s specialist coaches, elite athletes like Mo Farah, and entertainers like Kevin Hart, all of which are designed to improve your strength, endurance and speed.<\/p>\n

The app (which supports all generations of Apple Watches) has plenty of other awesome features as well, including trophies and badges to celebrate your individual achievements, personalised coaching plans, and customisable post-run sharing options.<\/p>\n

Runtastic \u2013 Motivational App<\/h3>\n

If you easily get bored during your workouts, this could be the app for you. Not only is Runtastic a reliable tracking app, but it helps to keep your mind occupied and motivated while you run. Its \u2018Story Running\u2019 feature allows you to download Story Runs (podcast-style tracks) that encourage and motivate you throughout your workout. These stories include compelling content and are specifically designed to motivate you while working out.<\/p>\n

Other cool features of the app include its ability to gather weather and temperature information to help you schedule the best time for your runs, and its Auto-Pause feature automatically pauses a session when you stop running to help make sure all data recorded is accurate.<\/p>\n

ROAD iD \u2013 Safety App<\/h3>\n

This handy app is recommended for all runners to have on their phone in the case of an emergency. As well as allowing you to share your location with friends and family, it also notifies your specified contacts via text or email when you become stationary for five minutes and fail to respond to the app\u2019s alert prompts. It\u2019s the ideal app for delivering peace of mind, and one that you hopefully won\u2019t have to use, but need to have just in case.<\/p>\n

Human \u2013 Beginner\u2019s App<\/h3>\n

This app is ideal if you\u2019re looking to become more active and start to get into fitness. It operates in the background throughout your day, tracking your moves and the time you actually spend being active, giving you a gentle reminder if you\u2019re not on track to hit your 30 minutes of exercise a day.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great introduction into exercise, and is perfect for starting a regular running\/cycling routine.<\/p>\n

RunGo \u2013 Navigation App<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re often away from home and regularly running in locations that you\u2019re not too familiar with, RunGo is a must. Rather than having to worry about memorising your planned route, the app gives you turn-by-turn voice directions, allowing you to solely focus on your running and preventing the problem of getting lost in an unknown place.<\/p>\n

Not to worry if you\u2019re hiking through a remote area where there\u2019s minimal connectivity, you can easily download your favourite routes to your phone beforehand so that the app can even work offline.<\/p>\n

MyFitnessPal \u2013 Weight Loss App<\/h3>\n

MyFitnessPal is perfect for those wanting to lose some weight through running. It tracks the calories you\u2019ve burnt and you\u2019re completed runs in one place, letting you know exactly how many calories you have left before you reach your daily individual goals. Your progress will be displayed on a chart, providing a visual representation of just how far you\u2019ve come since you started working out.<\/p>\n

Running Challenges with Race at your Pace<\/h3>\n

Here at Race at your Pace<\/a>, we\u2019re passionate about getting people to enjoy regularly exercising. Every month we run our extremely popular virtual challenges<\/a> that encourage you to run, cycle, walk or swim a set distance over the course of a month.
