Endomondo users? (Runners, but cyclists welcome, I guess!)

[spud989]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but anyone got this nifty little app? Just started using it with my runs. Mainly do a mix of 2.3 mile, 4.3 mile and 5.5 (ish) miles, depending on the day.

Anyone got any tips re: improvements, challenges, using it? How do you find it?

I've got it, as they have a client for Blackberry - really like it. Straightforward to use, web site is good.

I don't use Strava or any other app, so cannot compare - I know the main thing that Strava seems to do that Endomondo does not is Segment times

Also I don't see an easy way to list lots of other peoples times for routes for comparison- not sure if you pay for "Lounge" access you get this type of functionality

Use it to track my cycling runs. I have a Polar HRM and so edit the uploaded track to enter HR details rather than get another chest strap

Works well for me, good stats output etc

Endomondo is brilliant for recording and analysing workouts. I love all the best times and monthly totals function, it's great for keeping track of your progress. If your friends are on it you can compare your best times with theirs too or join the lounge to see how you're doing against other users.

Even with my Garmin watch I still download the workouts to endomondo (which is easy) as I prefer the many data functions on the endomodo compared to Garmin connect.

You get this in the routes section, if you click on a route someone has created you see the best times (if any) for it. It's not that well used a function though.

Yep, I can see the best times for a route, but I was interested to see any other times on the route to compare myself with the pack

Really useful app but I never take my phone out with me running, only on the bike, so always end up having to create my workout manually. Bit of a pain but not the fault of the app!

I use imapmyrun

Looks like a prtty similar app but you can log manual work outs and there are several to choose from.

Walking the dog for instance.

uploaded it today but tbh can't see how it is better than Strava?

I'll give it a go

I have a Garmin

My pref is Garmin Connect for geeky analysis and Strava for showing off
