Running Apps
Strava
iOS, Android—Free; in-app purchases available
If you’re looking for the social media equivalent of a running app, Strava is for you. Not only is this GPS app a great way to track your runs in real-time and keep tabs on your training milestones, but you’ll also have the opportunity to connect with old friends and make new ones in your community through the workout app. Even better, connect with pros and coaches like Lauren Fleshman, Rich Roll and Devon Yanko, who all have active profiles to get an inside look at how and where some of the elites are logging miles in both training and racing.
MapMyRun
iOS, Android—Free; in-app purchases available
Powered by Under Armour, the MapMy family of workout apps have street cred that is well deserved. MapMyRun specifically is great for tracking your runs (with the option to let friends and family see your live location) and finding new routes in your area. If you want to step up the ease of use, get a pair of Under Armour smart shoes, which connect to the app automatically, making this a great workout app for women looking to precisely track their miles.

Charity Miles
iOS, Android—Free
Want to go the extra mile? Log your miles using Charity App and earn money for the charity of your choice just by running. It really is that easy! Start an account and choose from their list of charities—including St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Wounded Warrior Project, National Park Foundation and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, among others—and funds come out of a corporate sponsor pool with every mile tracked via your phone’s GPS.
HEALTHY NOW TIP
Time your workout right. Exercising in the morning is associated with lower blood pressure, better sleep and greater weight loss, while afternoon or evening exercise appears to be better at improving aerobic performance and strength. Most important, though, is to exercise regularly–no matter what time you choose.

HEADSPACE
GET THE APP
Best for: mindfulness
Getting the right amount of sleep is crucial if you want to maintain a proper workout routine. It’s pretty key to maintaining a good sense of health and wellbeing too. If you struggle to nod off, then mindfulness app Headspace is definitely worth a try – especially if anxiety is the main cause of your restless nights. Guided meditation sessions allow you to manage stress, and the dedicated ‘Sleep’ section includes soundscapes, music, soothing ‘sleepcasts’ and wind downs.

SEVEN
GET THE APP
Best for: quick workouts
In 2013, a study published by the American College of Sport Medicine’s Health and Fitness Journal posited that high-intensity circuit training was the key to better health. It increased fitness, cut fat and strengthened muscles, and improved your VO2Max too (maximal oxygen consumption). What’s more, it could all be achieved with a mere seven-minute workout every day. That’s what led the Malmö-based team at Perigree to create Seven: an app packed with seven-minute workouts that are, you’ve probably guessed, designed to be performed seven days a week. They’re all bodyweight-based, and the app’s premium model offers you a personal trainer that offers guidance on the 200+ exercises available.

Under Armour’s app has been a long-time favourite for runners, and that’s reflected by the fact that community is at the heart of its features. For years now, users around the world have been uploading their favourite running routes to the community feed, both challenging and scenic, resulting in a database of over 70 million courses. You can also link up with friends and fellow runners to keep tabs on and encourage each other, and users often schedule meet-ups over the app’s dedicated Facebook page. The reason so many people have stuck with MapMyRun? It’s easy to use and trustworthy, and can be used for all kinds of exercise, from swimming to yoga.

You can choose from classes led by some of the UK’s top trainers, like former rugby pro Lawrence Price or PT Matt Roberts, who’s kept celebrities like Tom Ford in shape. The app also connects to a heart-monitoring chest strap that tracks your progress, integrates your stats on-screen and then gives you real-time performance metrics that fluctuate with your effort levels. In turn, these become ‘personal best’ goals to beat. It’s a better way to motivate yourself than being screamed at by your PT.
