Choosing the best program for sports

Short description:
Discussion and selection of the best sports program among those listed (or suggest your own)


Description:
1. runtastic PRO(interface in Russian)
2. adidas miCoach(interface in Russian, Russian sound)
3. Endomondo Sports Tracker PRO(interface in Russian)
4. SportyPal(interface in Russian)
5. Sports tracker
6. Strava Run
7. Noom CardioTrainer(interface in Russian)

Of the above, I liked the first 3, the last 3 did not like it even when I got acquainted, I did not deal with them.
The following is the measurement results with some programs. The route is the same, the programs are running simultaneously, also stopped at the same time.
Number according to the program list.
Time: (1) 25m07s (2) 24m58s (3) 24m48s
Distance: (1) 4.32 km (2) 4.30 km (3) 4.31 km
Average rate per km: (1) 5m48s (2) 5m48s (3) 5m45s
Average speed (km / h): (1) 10.3 (2) - (3) 10.42
Calories: (1) 326 (2) 329 (3) 360
The adidas miCoach was pleased with the presence of a sound trainer in Russian. In 1 and 3 English.
In endomondo there is a “beat yourself” mode in which you choose the previous workout, and it will be marked as your desired goal. There are also interval training, you can create your own.
Both endomondo and runtastic PRO are convenient, that when starting, you can set a timer through which to start. There is time to put the phone in a bag or pocket.
In each of the first three programs there is an alert about the distance covered (for example, every 1 km), about the elapsed time and pace of the race.

In general, for myself, I have not yet decided which program I will deal with.
It is necessary to look still from web interfaces and synchronization possibilities.

NEW New programs in the header:
RunKeeper:savagemessiahzine.com, Googleplay.

Some time used the Sports Tracker. In my opinion, the most thoughtful and competent interface, but at the same time compared to the above-mentioned multi-prog emerged that very much stretching the truth when calculating the distance at a relatively low speed of movement (fast walking, for example). When running situation better. I tried to enable / disable filtering settings - it is all one. DETAILED careful consideration recorded GPX it showed that the filtering algorithm actually works - point walk left and right, and hence the greater the distance nameryanno.

Sergioni,
in terms of accuracy, thanks to long comparisons of indicators of several programs, such as Strava Cycling and Run, Endomondo, Runtastic, adidas miCoach, SportyPal, Noom CardioTrainer, Sports Tracker, the most accurate measurement was Strava. Data of programs compared with the data of the cycle computer.

Endomondo has a free detailed web interface, they earn, as I understand it, by selling sports equipment and sports sensors.
Strava has detailed statistics on the personal page on the Internet, paid, subscription costs $ 6 per month and $ 59 per year.
Runtastic has a subscription for 3, 6 and 12 months, worth $ 14.90, $ 19.90 and$35.90 $24.90
Without a subscription, only the most basic information is available.
Runtastic has an interesting thing, like “training programs” that will prepare a person for a marathon, half marathon, 10km, there is a program for beginners and a program for actively burning calories. All of them are paid, you can get acquainted with the plans of the programs on the site before the purchase.

Accidentally not in the know, is it possible to go with Strava (not to run)? How does she think in this case - exactly / not so much?



Rep: (1211)
Sergioni,
I think there should be no problems with walking, if you choose Strava Run, I remember when I made comparisons, both for running and for the bike, Strava’s accuracy was that all programs underestimated the final distance, but Strava did it least cycling computer.
But to be honest, there were errors in different trainings, somewhere one is more precise, somewhere else.
If you plan to keep statistics, look at the organization of interfaces on the Internet, which will seem to you more convenient.

Rep: (53)
Not quite a correct comparison of programs.
Let me explain: miCoach is not quite a tracker, it’s almost not a tracker at all. In it, unlike almost all the other programs listed, everything pushes away from the other side: it is intended that you choose a training course and then the program itself will hint at what, when, and how you should do it! Those. This is a personal trainer, not a tracker.

I personally managed to try Endomondo, RunKeeper, Strava, Sports Tracker, miCoach (I rather did not try it, but I got acquainted with the possibilities), Google MyTracks. Specifically, the accuracy of the track, I was not very puzzled, besides at the end of the track, almost all the add. adjust the distance, mainly reducing :( :)

Quickly on each (but I hint that my infa is old, maybe something has already been corrected):
* RunKeeper
I started with it from the first one, still on the apple tree, therefore it is an estimated one.
By the time she came to me, the paid version had ceased to exist.
Minus - the Russian muzzle did not notice the Russian language - all the more.
Voice prompts can start from a distance, may from time to time - everything is customizable. Is able to post to Twitter and / or MordoKnigu. The main thing is that like - you can add a training partner, that does not require that each tracker was launched ... while training on the site is added to both parties (if trekali two - twice accrue). Paid features: RunKeeper Live (route tracking in real time), and more complete statistics, which for me personally is more or less missing in the free version.
Another minus: there is an export of tracks to GPX (which is a plus in theory), but NO ONE competing site can import IT, which is REALLY sorry - I’ve got a lot of it: (((

* Endomondo
I didn’t like the interface a little after RunKeeper, but it’s nice that I could play music, even though I don’t drive in my headphones - I’m afraid of sneaking machines.
Yesterday I climbed the site - the interface has become much nicer than a year ago. In addition, you can also throw a large number of people and various promotions, such as discounts on purchases for participants. There is a Russian muzzle - this is a plus, tips in the paid version are a relative minus :)
On Twitter and MordoBook post.

* Strava
I do not remember exactly why I shrugged off to the side ... it seems because of the very small number of people in it

* Sports Tracker
Krasivenky. What is the program on your phone that site. Like that shown on the map other people's workouts - with ease and you can find someone local with whom to compete :) Like, splitting the track into pieces of different sizes to make it easier to keep track of speed. Funny Feature: CAM file uploads automatically on a server all the pictures taken during the workout and nice places them along the route ... but the quality leaves much to be desired and there is no choice, but then you can delete unnecessary.
It allows you to add a training partner, but purely nominally - the partner doesn’t have training in the list :(
I did not notice the Russian muzzle, all the more so with the Russian voice, and indeed the voice is cruelly synthetic - irritated.

* miCoach
In principle, I described everything in the first paragraph. In fact, the focus of the program is different than I needed, and therefore I do not use it.
The presence of the Russian language pleased.

* My tracks
Not really a sports orientation - does not generate excitement, competitive spirit does not increase. Speed ​​on sites not show, but obviously somewhere stores :) Have exported to Google Docs as an Excel or pivot table. Also to be exported to Google Maps, but get it on a computer in a digestible form could not be me. Main feature: if you install on a mobile phone My Tracks and Google Earth, it is possible to play nice trip on the latter. Almost full emulation with stops and speed changes. Beautiful, but it may eksportnut what could not, therefore, yet useless - just pontanutsya! :)

From the entire list for myself I could distinguish two leaders, of which I myself have not yet chosen. this is endomondo and runstatic /
what runtastic liked in it is the most thoughtful and convenient interface, in my opinion, at a glance at the screen you can see everything, it is also impossible to accidentally stop training, which can easily happen during a run, and all this is good if not for some minuses. this track joggingtyk, pay attention to the strong broken line. those. there are places where he ran half a circle and she apparently took it for movement from point A to point B. it is an error
at the same time here is the track recorded in endomondotykas you can see here, less such broken tracks are smoother and therefore more accurate. what else you like about endomondo is more opportunity to customize your workout goal.
In general, I would like to update both programs because there is no limit to perfection, but for now I don’t give preference to anyone, we are waiting for the update.

As far as I remember, in the runtastic settings for the goal of training was more!
I remember exactly, there was a mixed distance mode for a certain time, in the endomondo there is no such thing, either distance or time.
but for now I don’t give preference to anyone, we are waiting for the update

That is, without applications you will be engaged?



Rep: (10)
Pro_Alexander,
Yes, in endomondo, you can set an interval training without a purchase, but in runtastic there is no ... more precisely, apparently you can, but you need to first buy a training plan or a gold account
and the fact that preference to anyone means that I use in turn and then that)



Rep: (8)
I constantly use the sports tracker to be constantly buggy, it closes with an error, but the track writes very accurately!
Here is my comparison with endomondo

endomondo 1
sports tracker 1

endomondo 2
sports tracker 2

Today I will test runtastic, I liked the interface

If anyone else is interested in the program with pulse tracking, that is, the Noom Cardio Trainer. I was not satisfied that the pulse readings were made in a small font and during the run it was difficult to read, but there is still a Noom Coach prog for those who want to lose weight. I train myself with adidas meCoach and running pulse with the Polar sensor and Adidas programs for recording tracks and HRnavi for tracking the pulse, I really like the online Adidas service.



Rep: (1)
Tried four programs from the survey.
"Sports Tracker" - quite anything in functionality and interface, but there is one thing - the program is very social. Whether something I have not done in the settings, or the program itself puts a mark on the map that I have worked here. This mark is visible to all the people who are watching the map at that location. As I understand the intent of the authors of the program, this function is necessary to motivate and mini-competitions. But as a result I began to write messages like for example "yyy, man)))))))))", "Cho so slow begaish I'm faster," "But those do neh" "went to us to the Great katatsya if you it is ", etc.
"adidas miCoach" - there is no timer at startup and it is very sad. Of course, I am very pleased with the Russian voice acting, but besides her I didn’t like anything in the program. The interface is average, the web version is inconvenient. But the fact that the program from adidas is very good in the sense that the accuracy of calculating calories is clearly more accurate.
"Endomondo Sports Tracker" - a lot of features, a nice interface, easy to use web interface. But while there is a huge minus - the program (perhaps specifically me) has glitches with GPS. For example, when I run along the waterfront, I, according to the indications of the program, become equal to Jesus - I run on water. Or during my recent trek on skis I am very cool flying over the stadium and walked through the garage roof. This is the only negative, on which I refused to "Endomondo", all other programs have shown the way (and, correspondingly, the distance) is more precise.
"runtastic PRO" - stopped at her. It has many advantages "endomondo" + accuracy in orientation. The web interface will be worse than the endomondo, but it is in tolerable Russian.

Something did not find the list of opportunities neither on aerobia.ru nor on endomondo
on screenshots - aerobia.ru site itself and the display seems to be nothing, but I'm afraid the functionality is worse than
http://sportypal.comand I got used to it and it’s too early to move on.
and the sportypal community is bigger and better
ps According to the author of the topic about sportypal, he did not say either good or bad ... I have been using everything for a long time, I did not find any advantages at endomodo.
Satellites do not lose track writes regularly in the forest and in the lowlands (a maverich I lost in places ...) consumes a little energy, you can roll / run all day and still listen to music.

p.s .: "timer at startup" - do not tell me, are these milliseconds really important to you, sure to go around some grandmothers in the forest spend more time)))

Generally the first time I hear about it. Judging by the site, there is integration with Yandex.Maps, which is good. You will need to try the program.

SUDDENLY important. While I hide the phone in the case and fasten it tightly on the shoulder, it will take at least 20 seconds. I am not that a very cool athlete, but accuracy is still very desirable for me.

runtastic PRO


how can you study the programs in such a way? ... if you read a little you would understand everything.

I read what? Nifiga do not understand what you are talking about. “Read,” “studied,” what are you talking about? All that I have described is my acquaintance with the programs: what I liked about them and what didn't. Everything I read is topics with programs, program sites and user reviews. I didn’t learn anything at all - I just tried to run with different programs, trying to find the one that suits me best.
Well, that's crazy! no more than 2 seconds! :))))))))))))) kindergarten what ...

For you - nonsense, for me, no. There is no time for preparation.
I can do it on the go!

Congratulations, while I look around and under my feet, so that no one stumbles and stumbles.

Do not pay attention, he spoils some nonsense.
The delayed start timer is a really useful thing. In addition to removing the phone, I also use it in order to have time to launch the second program.
Related: used 3 programs: runtastic PRO, adidas miCoach, Endomondo Sports Tracker PRO. Stopped on endomondo and adidas. I use at the same time. Endomondo - for fixing training data, adidas - as a scheduler / trainer.
As for the tracking accuracy of the endomondo, try, in addition to GPS, also include determining the location according to cell towers. It really helped me - stopped “running through buildings”;)



Rep: (1211)
Endomondo VERY greatly reduced the possibilities of the web interface in free mode. They want people to buy Premium. And this is 100%, that before these functions were, and were free of charge.
For example, they removed the ability to watch and compare training data for such parameters as:
- average lap for training
- average speed
- total workouts.
etc.
They left only the total distance and duration of training, the number of calories burned and weight (2 these points are not particularly useful), and the first 2 too.
The most important thing is to watch the time at 1 km for the workout removed! That is, it is difficult to track visually effective.
Removed the opportunity to watch personal achievements in training at distances:
1, 1.5, 2, 3 km (I am sure that the main fans), and there is an opportunity to watch from 5 km, removed 1 mile, 2 miles, and left to 5 km only 3 miles (!)
Here is a screenshot of what is and what was removed (darkened)
Attached Image


In general, they grieved strongly, there is no desire to pay, there are analogs, you need to look at what runtastic offers, used before, a worthy competitor, but as time passed, it was possible that the conditions changed there.

I look, on PlayMarket, RunKeeper is still very popular.

I agree, I use it too! And before it was 20 seconds, and now today ran from 30 seconds before the start. Winter. While I started, I put the smartphone in my bag, while I put on gloves, just. And yes, I would not want these 30 seconds to have an error!

Yes, unfortunately it is. But still, for several years I have already become accustomed to endomondo, and so far I use it out of habit (in parallel with miCoach, for planning classes).

When I run on skis - in general I put a delay for 1 minute: until you start the second program, remove the phone, put on gloves, fasten straps from sticks ... just a minute passes. And to have an error of 1 minute to train according to a plan - you can even run without a phone at all then.


By the way, does anyone know what program can conduct a training session on the pulse (by intensity zones) as miCoach does?
And miCoach works only with its cardio sensor (Pacer) and there is no desire to buy it either, there is already a bluetooth heart rate monitor which all other programs normally see. Endomondo writes pulse normally, but does not know how to train for a pulse, and on the website the analysis of training by pulse zones shows only premium users (stsuko).
