Anyone else use Runkeeper?

I have for a while, but wasn't uploading a lot of my stuff till recently, pretty dedicated for the time being, trying to get back to being fit again.
Keen to see some others routes for a bit of a change of my usual.

I use it frequently for cycling, can't locate your name on the street team area though.

i use it mainly as a lap timer, and to see how far im going

Have just started using it for cycling, good way of keeping track!

[mr_mike]

i have it but usually forget to start it. Missus uses it alot, even just at random times if we spend a day walking about the city shopping just out of curiosity to see how far we walk.

Use it for cycling, transfer my garmin maps to it because I hate microsoft bing maps.

Antilag Street team?

Garmin Forerunner 305 FTW! Awesome little sports watch/gps/heart-rate monitor etc.

Mike - at least you're cycling there. We need to pick a weekend for the Swan Valley beer ride!

Tried it for cycling but didn't like it. From memory it doesn't have auto pause and resume?

[Lozzle]

It's got pause but you've got to press the button on the screen, it won't auto pause when it feels you physically stop.

yep use it heaps. walking, hiking, cycling and on the cross trainer sometimes :)

just fun to see how much excercise and how many kms you can do in a month :)

I use it a fair bit. Used it all through training for my ride earlier this year racking up over 1000kms/month on the pushie. Very cool bit of kit (especially considering it's free). My main problem is I forget to change between cycling and running. Can change that on the computer afterwards though.

Couple of tips I have found from using it:
If you want to amend maps or activities, Google Chrome works best that I have found.
From default, your maps are publicly viewable by everyone. This means if you start/finish from home it isn't hard for strangers to find out where you live.

I read that feature is being brought into the Android version soon.

the ability to tag friends in a joint activity is lacking

ie go for a bike ride with a mate, you both have to have runkeeper running on your phones to record it. gay.

[Kilma]

My phone will let you tag who completed the exercise with. Maybe that's only in the Pro version??

I am not sure if the tags relate to your street team or Facebook friends though. Haven't used it.

Anyone using Strava?

Just uploaded a few recent rides to Strava.

The segments are pretty cool.

Some of my notable achievements include:

Second overall on Esplande Mount Pleasant - 44.6km/h
Third overall Mounts Bay Road East to West - 53.6km/h
Equal eighth Port Beach Road Sprint - 56.1km/h
