What are the best running apps for your smartphone?

The best running apps for Android:

The best running app depends on what you want the app to do. For tracking run data, the best running apps are Strava, Map my Run, and Runkeeper. Strava has the added benefit of tracking cycling, swimming, and cross-training workouts too, so you can keep all your training in one place. You can also get a lot out of the free version of the Strava app, making it one of the best budget running apps on the market.

If you’re a completely new runner, the Couch to 5K running app is a brilliant way to get started, building you up slowly until you can run a continuous 5K. It's designed for beginners and will follow a run-walk approach, so you won't ever feel overwhelmed.

For those training for a race, the Runna app is created by running coaches Ben Parker and Steph Davies, Runna has training plans for 5K-ultra-marathon distances and tweaks them depending on your running level. For those hitting the treadmill, the Peloton app and Apple Fitness Plus both have a range of workouts to keep you entertained. Rather than staring at the ticking clock, following a treadmill workout can help you push yourself harder when running indoors.

How to choose the best running apps
Most of the apps featured here are free, though a few offer subscriptions that deliver more advanced features, such as guided workouts, location sharing and training plans. You can decide if these extra features are worth the recurring cost or whether you can make do with the free tier. (Some free apps are ad-supported, so you'll have to decide if that's too much of a nuisance.)

As we've noted, different running apps focus on different things. So choosing the best running app for your needs depends heavily on what you want to use the app for — Tracking your stats? Mapping your runnings? Playing music that complements your workout? — and picking the one that ticks all those boxes.
