i do 1.5 miles and try better my runs each time. i struggle to get below 11 minutes right now but i will someday.

Hi Mark I use it and I find it very good when I get in the mood for running. Much cheaper than a garmin watch when you already have the iphone.

It could do with a few other good features though. When in coach mode I would like to be able to apply a pre planned route to a specific distance and then possibly get directions as you run as I am not long in Dublin and don't know the area very well.

For example, I was out for an 8 mile run last night and I finished up doing far longer as I took a few wrong turns!

I finished up doing 9 mile which is my longest run to date (I would have done anywhere between 3-5 mile regularly up to this point but starting to think about doing the Dublin Marathon so started the Marathon coach thing in the app. It scheduled 4 on Monday; 8 last night, 5 tomorrow and 13 at the weekend - dunno if i'll manage the 13 but hopefully i'll give it a go.

I have the nike gps watch find good, but has to be connected to the computer every few days to get a gps signal, don't like the way you can't share runs on it. The snap to roads is head wrecking.

€160 I think, there on the nike website,
All the places I run have short cuts (pedestrian exits) so when I get to this bit it automatically follows the road around not the way I run,
I'd rather if I could just upload the actual run the I done,

Oh right. I dunno of app is different but if I go off road it follows where I've went

Yeah but to upload/share it you have to use the snap to roads bit,??
If I did an 8k run and wanted to show you my run I have to snap along the roads that if ran,
