Smash your PB with these awesome running apps
Puma Trac
This fab app is designed to help you find the perfect conditions for your run. It tracks your performance on every run and notes the weather, the day of the week, the location, your music choice and your social media activity. It then compiles this info and tells you whether you perform best on Mondays or Thursdays, in the sun or driving rain, when listening to hard rock or pop. Magic, huh?
Free, itunes.com
Nike+
Train for anything from a 5K to a marathon with the top-notch programmes and coaching expertise on this app. It’s got all the technical specs you need to track your runs and your progress, plus it lets you share your runs and take photos before during and after your run, which you can customize with your route and data. We love the Power Song function, too. Simply hit the Power Song button for a burst of the track that will get you across that finish line.

Zombies, Run!
Lacking motivation? How fast would you run if you were being hounded by a herd of zombies? Pretty darn fast we reckon! This awesome app blends your running route with a zombie-based narrative that will seeing you legging it on a mission to beat the undead. The absolutely best way to revive your running mojo!

Runners love this app. The free version is great with all the bells and whistles most running apps are shouting about these days. But the upgrade will take your training to a new level with heart-rate zones, workout comparisons and advanced training analysis.

Ok so you may not be in the running (sorry!) for an Olympic gold any time soon, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t reap some additional rewards from pounding the pavements. This smart app sets you distance or time-based challenges, then lets you pick a reward – pick from offers from Yplan, Hello Fresh, Popchips and more – when you complete it.
