In a bid to promote his app RunKeeper, iPhone developer Jason Jacobs is all set to run the Boston Marathon with a iPhone shaped suit.
We have been working with a team of college students from Dave Gerzof’s social media class at Emerson College to help us define our social media strategy.
RunKeeper uses the built-in GPS in the new iPhone 3G to enable runners, cyclists, hikers, skiers, walkers, etc. to track their outdoor fitness activities.
Some of the data Runkeeper allows you to track:
- - duration
- - distance
- - pace
- - speed
- - total rise
- - altitude versus speed
- - path traveled on a map
Push ‘start’ when you start your activity and ‘stop’ when you finish, and we automate the rest!
In addition to tracking all of your stats, you can store all of your historical activities on your personal web dashboard at www.runkeeper.com. You can also see a map of your activities on both the iPhone and the web. And now, you can share your activities with your friends, as we have integrated with Twitter, Facebook, and a host of other social sites!
No need to buy a separate fitness tracking device, as RunKeeper on your iPhone can do it just as well!
Tips:
- For optimal results, it is recommended that you turn wi-fi off and put GPS filter on medium in the Run Keeper settings.
Works best with iPhone 3G, inaccurate on 1st Gen iPhone and iPod Touch.
