Morning all,

I'm looking for a chespish way of tracking my running routes and times etc. I have a 3rd world spec personal phone and a locked down business phone - so an app is out (I'm not really after a non-basic personal phone tbh).

Anyone got any recommendations for some type of watch type thing?

Thanks

Record your times with a normal watch, then use mapmyrun or some other online app to plot out the run for distance and so on.

Thanks for the replies, I've just been given my brothers old old android phone. But it'll serve the purpose as a tracker/timer!

Plenty of free tracking apps so long as the phone has GPS. I use Strava for cycling and it can be used for running too.

I used to do that before I got a smartphone.
