About this app

The Good Run Guide GPS App is an easy and intuitive way to accurately track and map your runs and other distance activities and to find great running routes, with all the comprehensive features of The Good Run Guide website behind the scenes. The App can be used stand-alone as an easy means of recording and viewing your runs (tracking distance, pace, elevation, split times and calories burned) and searching and following our database of over 14000 recommended routes. But in addition there is the option to take out full membership whereby each of your activities will be automatically logged in your own non-limited log book on www.GoodRunGuide.co.uk, with access to comprehensive stats. From there you can interact your activities with all the other features of this well-loved, long established Site (launched way back in 2007)
