Fitness Website WalkJogRun.net Launches iPhone Application
Stay motivated to run while on the go
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 7, 2009 -- Runners can now take a map of their favorite routes with them while on the go. WalkJogRun.net launched an iPhone and iPod Touch application on May 5, 2009. The application is a mobile version of the website WalkJogRun.net, an online community for runners, bikers, walkers, and anyone on the move.
By using a GPS to locate the user's current position, the application pulls routes from the website that are nearest to the user. Subscribers to WalkJogRun.net, a free site, can access their personal routes on the iPhone and iPod Touch application by entering their username and password. Routes are categorized by distance in miles and the kilometer equivalent. Users can customize each route by entering their weight and time it took to complete the route. The application then calculates calories burned and pace per mile. "We wanted to focus on developing a five star app that costs as much as a cup of fancy coffee," says Adam Howitt, co-creator of WalkJogRun.net.
Howitt and co-creator of WalkJogRun.net Jeff Kenny created the application in response to user feedback for the site. Users wanted to be able to access their routes while away from a computer. The resulting application is an on-the-go fitness tool that can be integrated into a variety of training and fitness programs.
