So far no problems but as I start getting to longer runs I’m sure I’m going to push the limits.

Thanks! I also recommend putting the display to sleep unless you feel the need to look at the progress graphs. I’d rather rely on the audio cues and save power.

Go into Settings->General->Network and turn off 3G during the runs. In my experience it cuts battery usage way, way down.

We have our own in-house celebrity named ‘Kat’ who gives you voice prompts through interval workouts. She isn’t Lance Armstrong, but our users have told us she is VERY motivating :-)

Melissa, alhtough I’m an avid RunKeeper user, a fellow blogger and runner here at the CES uses SportyPal on Android: http://www.sportypal.com/ I haven’t used it, so I can’t comment on how well it does or doesn’t work.

Soon, you will be able to find RunKeeper on Android as well!

I recently purchased the Verizon Android but desperately want to find an app that is similar to RunKeeper. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You can listen to music like Cadence, use the GPS to log your runs, and watch your runs playback with the route replay feature.

Best,

I see that request asked for quite a bit in the forums, so hopefully it appears soon. I’ll actually have the same issue once I take my road bike to the basement in a few weeks. In the cold weather, I use the bike on a trainer and won’t be able to log my workouts.

I put in some serious miles on the treadmill and a GPS-based solution is useless for that. At least Nike+ allows me to keep track of both road runs and treadmill runs.

No problems. The video shows Kevin receiving excellent reception inside his house.
