RunKeeper - A phone app for tracking your runs

Success with running over a long period of time requires diligence to a workout routine. I found that using a phone app provided the accountability and tracking I needed in order to maintain a routine. Since I started running in March of 2013, I've logged 168 running activities. I use the following functionality of the basic version:
1) Track outdoor runs
2) Record indoor workouts
3) Alert when it's been 3 days since my last workout
4) Track PRs for distance, pace, calories, elevation, and duration
5) Observe mile split times
6) Participate in the occasional challenge

There is other functionality like setting goals that I've only used once.  And sharing with friends, which I don't really do since I'm running for personal improvement and not to get the best time.  It's a nice app that I'd happily recommend to others.



Any app recommendations of your own? Please post a comment.
