We feel you, running outdoors in Singapore can be a dreary affair.

Unless you’re fortunate enough to live near Marina Bay where you get
amazing views of the city skyline each night (one should be so lucky),
running about your HDB estate can get pretty boring.

To help you make hitting the pavements (or any other terrain) in your
running shoes a little more enjoyable, we’ve rounded up 10 apps that
we’re sure will help.

Great for those who love the Nike brand, the Nike Run Club is one of
two Nike apps currently available in Singapore.
What’s great about the app is that it allows you to set up training plans
(in My Coach) and often holds themed challenges in celebration of
certain months of the year. Celebrities and professional athletes are
sometimes also featured on the app.
The app also tracks your run route and colour codes it in accordance
to the speed you’re running at so you know which parts of your run
you can improve on.
Each run is then finished off by a word of encouragement from a

celebrity or athlete to keep you motivated.
Available for free on the iOS and Android stores.
2. Zombies, Run!

If you haven’t already heard, Zombies, Run! is a story-based app that

makes running so much more fun.
Best experienced with headphones, the app guides runners away

from hordes of “zombies” through intel delivered on headphones and
provides missions as well to truly immerse runners in the fictional post-
apocalyptic world.
Like most apps, Zombies, Run! tracks all your basic necessities such as
distance ran and allows you to track your workouts on a treadmill as
well.
Available for free on iOS and Android stores.
3. Pacer

Another fun and easy to use app, Pacer comes inclusive of a

pedometer so you’re able to use it even when you’re not running.
The app’s user interface is easy to understand and operate — all you
really have to do is download it and make sure you take it with you
wherever you go.
The app is as easy as it comes so really, if you’re looking for something

no frills, this is the best app for you.

Under Armour’s offering for the fitness community online expands

beyond its My Fitness Pal app. MapMyRun is the brand’s
comprehensive fitness tracker that tracks every aspect of a run to
deliver more accurate results.
On top of tracking your running distance, the app clocks in your pace,
elevation and calories burned so you know how well you’re doing. You
can then sync the app with My Fitness Pal to see how you diet and
fitness data work together.
Available for free on iOS tand Android stores.
5. Strava

At 170 miles, even the fastest known times on Northern California’s

Tahoe Rim Trail (or TRT) involve some serious sleep deprivation. See

Popular amongst users in the US, Strava is a fitness tracking app that
motivates users to work out through friendly competition.
Essentially, the app records your running route and data then
compares that data with people that regularly run that same route.
You’ll be able to see how well you do in comparison to other people in
your neighbourhood.
The app can also sync with a variety of fitness devices including the
Fitbit and Apple watch.

Serious runners who want to up their game should consider

downloading Run Coach.
The app provides a tailored training approach for runners looking to

compete in a marathon or any sort of competition by helping them
meet their running goals based on their schedules.
Besides running, the app can also coach you on drills to prevent
injuries and keep your reflexes sharp.
7. RunKeeper

Los Angeles, California
RunKeeper has been around for a long time and continues to be a

popular choice among seasoned runners.
The app is generally easy to use and tracks everything from your
calories burned to the distance ran. You can also connect to Spotify
and apps such as Under Armour’s My Fitness Pal so you’re able to get a
vast overview of your health.
You can also share your running accomplishments on social media

sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
8. iSmoothRun

about 3 years ago
Another great app for serious runners, iSmoothRun goes above and
beyond when it comes to tracking accurate data for runners to
perfect their performance.
With most of the basic tracking necessities covered, the app works to
provide custom interval workouts, shoe mileage tracking as well as
your heartbeat.
At the end of your training, you’re also able to export your data to
track your progress overtime.
Available for $6.98 on iOS only.
9. Pumatrac
Patrick Pule
about 4 months ago
The last app on our list is a gorgeously designed monochrome one

from sportswear brand Puma.
While it can be used for running, Pumatrac can also track over 30
types of activities. You can also sync your Spotify playlists and other
social media accounts with the app. Best of all, it provides you with
customised workouts, much like a personal trainer.
One great thing about the app is that it provides insights into your
running behaviour so you know how to improve on your runs.
