Take a look at this – it’s fantastic.
In my enduring battle to stay reasonably fit and healthy – in defiance of my irritating inheritance of genes apt to favour the contrary – I have today found another toy which I hope will help to spur a new revival in my jogging routine.
I’ve long found that jogging in the gym gets tremendously monotonous but that the statics which keep me interesting can only really be derived via the data recording made possible whilst on a treadmill.
The application, “All Sport GPS” works much like the (cost-prohibitive) watch I trialled whilst in Paris, except it conveniently sits on my smartphone and uses the built in GPS to track my whereabouts and then automatically uploads the .gpx file containing said data onto a server from which I can view a map, histogram and statistics. I can then monitor my progress (or otherwise) and compare my performance during each trip.
I’m delighted with it’s perfectly well thought out usability and practicality – it’s an excellent use of technology and although I’ve currently got just a 60 day free trial, I will be sure to be subscribing at the end of it.
