Your streak of records builds up naturally. β–  Weekly graph & totals Review your distance week by week with a bar chart, and see total distance, total runs, and average pace together. β–  Course notes Name the routes you run often. Past courses are one tap away, so logging stays quick. β–  No GPS This app never uses location. You enter each run yourself, and everything is stored only on your device. No account is needed, and there is no upload or tracking. Note: the feel rating is a personal record. This app does not provide health or training guidance.
