Workouts++

DOSE YOURSELF WITH DATA. Free | david-smith.org There are many different ways to monitor your progress on the road to being fit and healthy — see page 22 for examples. Workouts++ is probably the most in-depth app we’ve ever used and it’s even better in the second version. There’s a ton of info here that we lapped up. Which workout do you do most often? What time of the day is your favourite for running? What’s your total elevation climbed? Where did you run today? What was your average heart rate? Workouts++ can tell you all this and more. Each workout type is a different colour, which makes them easy to find — but you can also apply filters to see only one kind. Customising your data is simple and the UI is a cinch to navigate. As this app buddies up with your Apple Watch, you can customise your watch face with Workouts++ data. It also allows you to play podcasts through your watch, although we prefer inspiring music to sweat to rather than comedy. If you’re not using Strava (in fact, even if you are using Strava), we suggest you give this thoroughly in-depth app a try. It’s colourful and complex, and even inspires us to get our runners back on and plot a new course for tomorrow morning. Now, if that isn’t reason enough, we don’t know what is…!
