Million Miles is a walk and run tracker with a twist: every mile you log is added to one shared community goal, alongside everyone else in the app. We're heading for a million miles, together. TRACK LIKE YOU ALWAYS HAVE • GPS tracking for walks and runs - distance, time, pace, HR zones, splits, route and elevation • An Apple Watch app - start from your wrist, or follow along on either device • Voice prompts read out your distance and pace so you never have to look • Already use Strava, Garmin or the Workout app? Turn on Apple Health sync and those walks and runs count too GET OUT MORE WITH A PLAN • Walking and running plans: Walk more, Walk a 10k, First 5k, 5k faster, First 10k and Half marathon • Pick the days that suit you and each session is set out for you with target paces if you give a recent 5k time • A friendly voice counts you into each part and tells you what's next, with a tap on your wrist on Apple Watch • Browse the weeks ahead, and catch up on a session you missed • Every session still adds to the million YOUR MILES JOIN THE TOTAL • The moment you finish, your distance is added to the community counter • See exactly what you've contributed and how far there is to go • A mile walked counts the same as a mile run • Milestones on the way to a million belong to everyone BRING YOUR PEOPLE • Make a team for your running club, the office or the family, and share a six-letter code • Every walk or run any of you logs goes on the team's total • See who's been out and chat in your own group TOGETHER, NOT AGAINST • Challenges with one shared goal and their own chat • Cheer people on - a thumbs-up goes a long way on a hill • Badges for the things that keep you going: first mile, early bird, night owl, a twelve-week streak • Your own stats are for you: weekly and yearly miles, your longest walk, your fastest 5k. Nobody is ranked against anybody WHY IT'S FREE There's no subscription, no locked features and no ads. Its a personal project: I wanted to see whether a group of us could walk and run a million miles between us. A million miles to go. Come and add yours. Your routes stay private - they're never shown to other members or sold to anyone. Location is only used while you're recording.
