What are some apps that keep you motivated to run?

[SolidKrieger]

I have been looking for some running/walking apps that will make it more enjoyable to run or walk. Some that I have found consist of

- Runtastic

- Run an Empire 

- Zombies, run

Does anyone have different types that they use that keep them motivated. Please share

Hey @SolidKrieger.  Run an Empire is new to me.  I’ll check it out.  Looks like more run focused as opposed to walk.  I tend to walk more than run, but this would be a good change up.

I’m a ZombiesRun! Fan; about 1/2 way through the 5th season.  It can be run or walk focused.  I usually walk and do a mild jog for the ‘chases’ which I have set at 20% faster than my regular pace.  I wind up averaging about 4 mph doing this.  If you start out at a jog the chases will help you improve your pace.

More on the walking end of things ...

There is “The Walk” which was also developed by the ZombiesRun folks is a pretty neat walking spy story.  Part of the game is to collect items along the route and to play story recordings at various points, so you interact with the phone a lot which definitely makes is a walking rather than a running game.

Pokémon GO is fun too, but also seems more of a walking or ‘explore your area’ game as you need to stop and collect Pokémon and collect items.  What it cool is that there are Pokémon all over the world, so I might be using it as I explore some Spanish, French and Italian cities on a cruse I’ll be taking at the end of the month.

The mind! Seriously............

I have a triple compound fracture of the spine and kidneys at level 4b (UK).

I just woke up one morning after being to the Doctors the day before and decided, right, that's it !!!

I am not going into a Wheelchair, the Doctor can order what he likes from who he likes, but I am not going to use it, I would rather use my crutches to walk thanks !!!!

For some reason, it changed my life around completely. If you have a partner, I don't, but if your lucky, your partner will either join you or encourage you once you explain it to them. 

The mind is the best App you can find anywhere anytime, no subscriptions and totally free !!!

It has to be on a good morning after a good nights sleep.

Wake up and make that decision to change things !!!

Works great for me and doesn't Blue Screen on you !!! 🙂

All the best,

Trevor
