How it Works
Track your Run
- When you open the app, you will see a blue “Run” button. Pressing that button will begin tracking your location for a new run session.
- After you press the button, the app will access your current location. The button will turn yellow while the app communicates with your GPS. Note: you will need to enable GPS permissions for this feature to work.
- Once your GPS has been successfully accessed, the button will turn Red with the text “Finish”. While this button is displayed, the app will access your location in real time as you run.
- When you are finished running, press the red Finish button. The app will then display the statistics from your run. You will be able to see your run time, distance, average pace, and you will have the option to see a map of your route.
