The Runkeeper Pro application for the iPhone is a runner’s best friend. It sounds as simple as other GPS devices: The app tracks and maps your runs, accounting for climbs and speed.

But it’s so much more than that. The online dashboard shows your splits — how fast you’re running over the course of a run — and audio cues tell you how far you’ve gone and your average speed.

runkeeper2You can program your own workouts. You can join a team of fellow runners to inspire you and to compete with. You can manually enter gym workouts, and the GPS will also track your bike rides, your ski runs, your walks.

The extremely passionate users are on Facebook, offering support and tips. Measure your week-to-week progress with a simple bar graph. Want a smaller butt? Want something to inspire you to get out of bed in the morning? Yeah, there’s an app for that.
