ASICS Runkeeper review

ASICS Runkeeper is one of the longest-running GPS trackers, and it remains a tidy, low-cost choice. The free app records runs, walks, rides and hikes by GPS, reads out the stats you choose in one of five extra English voices, plays Apple Music or Spotify, and lets you set goals such as distance or weight targets. Audio-guided workouts from ASICS Running coaches suit beginners and experienced runners. Apple Watch tracking works without a phone, and the app connects to Garmin, Fitbit, Apple Health and MyFitnessPal. The paid tier, Runkeeper Go, adds race-training plans for 5Ks to marathons, detailed progress insights and live tracking. The US App Store lists Go at $9.99 a month or $39.99 a year, half of Strava's annual price. The community features are thinner than Strava's, and the plans are less tailored than Runna's.
