## What is Runner's Log?

Runner's Log makes it very easy to track your running sessions, keeping a log of the distance and time taken for each run.

● Use the built-in map to plan out a route, or if using an iPhone, simply track your course with GPS.*
● Sync your iPhone and iPad using iCloud (enable via Settings app).
● View a calendar showing which days you ran recently.
● View statistics and charts of weekly, monthly, and yearly progress.
● Track the total mileage put on your running shoes (which typically last 350–550 miles).
● Categorize log entries with user-defined tags.
● Share on dailymile.com, Twitter, Facebook.
● Import and export data in CSV format. Import GPX files.

Runner's Log makes it easy to record the results of a running session in a matter of seconds. You can also use Runner's Log to review your running history, and plan new routes for future running sessions.

You can simply use GPS if using an iPhone or, when you return from a run, use Runner's Log to record your session: The date, route, and shoes used are all automatically filled in based on defaults. The time spent on your last run for the route is also presented as the default. Simply adjust the minutes or seconds and you are done! Your pace will be shown to you.

To plan a new route to try in your neighborhood, go to the routes tab and bring up the map, which centers on your current location. Simply tap points on the map in order to create your route. When done, the route distance is automatically computed. If you run this route frequently, you can set it as the default.

Runner's Log makes it a cinch to keep track of shoe mileage. Any unlogged mileage already on your shoes can be added to the total tracked. You can track each pair separately, and you can choose a pair of shoes to be the default for new running sessions. When a pair is ready to be retired, you can mark it as such.

You can view a calendar showing which days you ran recently. This makes it easy to decide if you are due for a run today, or should take a break. You can also view statistics and charts showing weekly, monthly, and yearly summaries of your distance, time and pace, as well as the accumulated mileage put on your shoes. You can focus on runs of a particular type by filtering by tags.

### 4/5 — Awesome App!

*2025-12-30*

I really enjoy using this app. It works perfectly for tracking your progress with running. I’m a track athlete, so I use it for meeting benchmarks for my races and keeping a log of my times with different races. The only thing that bugs me is that it rounds up the miles. If I submit “0.25 mile” for the distance, it shows up on the Home Screen (where it says “log”) as “0.3 mile”. I understand this and acknowledge that this app is more geared towards long-distance or cross country runners, but it would greatly benefit me if it was changed to say the exact precise distance, rather than a rounded distance.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-09-11, version 3.4.1*

I don’t know why this app isn’t more popular, it’s got everything you need for basic running and no extra time consuming graphs or notifications, accounts, syncing or subscriptions. Super easy to pin point your route by hand or have it track while you’re running. Log, Calendar, Stats and Routes that’s all you need. I really like the calendar display with the little runners icon, motivation to see how frequently you ran

### 5/5 — Since 2014

*2024-04-15*

No need to change. Have my complete history. Awesome.

### 1/5 — Poor map interface

*2023-08-17, version 3.3.1*

Very clunky. Stops working in the middle of jogs. Poor map interface. Doesn’t measure calories.

### 5/5 — Works

*2023-03-05*

Been using since 2018 and never had a reason to switch/upgrade to another app. Thanks to this app, I can review all my runs, learn that 2020 was my fastest year with most miles logged, learn that I’ve run 270 miles on my pair of Adidas, and I’m looking forward to tracking my post-injury progress now that I’m running again hopefully back to a decent mile time. I don’t use any fitness watches, so I’m not sure how this app would interact with one and whether I would end up using a different app in this case.

### 3/5 — Loved the app BUT

*2022-03-11*

I LOVED THIS APP BUT IT NO LONGER SYNCS BETWEEN iPHONE/iPAD PLAYFORMS

### 1/5 — No longer opens

*2020-12-16*

App crashes immediately. Perhaps it doesn’t work with newest iOS update. I don’t expect a fix since there hasn’t been an app update in 3 years. Really enjoyed it when it worked

### 1/5 — Stopped working :-(

*2020-11-28*

I’ve used this app for years to track my running and it suddenly stopped working. It no longer opens at all. I’m so sad that it seems I’ve lost more than 6 years of my running history.

### 1/5 — Stopped Working

*2020-11-24*

I’ve used for years.  It no longer opens.  I’m afraid if I delete and reinstall that I’ll lose my data.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2019-02-19*

Easy to use and great feedback in graphical form.  Would be nice to add non-running activities and have them show on the calendar so cross-training days are seen.
