About

Tons

Features
Read full description

The Eiffel Tower weighs 10,100 tons. How long would it take you to lift it? A few push-ups here, a set there. On their own they're nothing, but together they're tons. It's not about hours at the gym, it's about how much you actually lift. That's exercise snacking: train when you get a minute, and the tons add up.

About

RunMapr

Features
Read full description

See your run, not just your stats. View at-a-glance zone information for all of your workouts as well as cumulative time spent in each zone for the week. Select a workout and zoom in on the map to see your exact pace, heart rate, and zone at every coordinate recorded. Share it your way: Build workout summaries worth posting. Use your own photo from the camera roll as the background, or the map itself. Show off your pace, distance, or zone chart โ€” in a look that fits your style. Zones that match you: Enter your max heart rate to calculate zones automatically, or override any zone with your own ranges. Works with HealthKit: If you record your workouts on an Apple Watch, you already have everything you need to get up and running. Find workouts from the past: That 20-mile run from two years ago? Search for it by distance, date, workout type or geographic area instead of scrolling through years of historical workouts to find it. Make the app your own: Pick a theme that suits how you like to look at your data. Run far. Run fast. Run free.
