I’m really interested in this, but it looks like it hasn’t been worked on in a while and there are some crash reports on the iOS store reviews.

I would love if Apple built some of this in native apps.

I do like sharing runs with a small group of friends.

Apple native app is called fitness. You can share workouts.

Can you record a run in there somewhere? Might just be bad googling, but I can’t see an option just using the phone.

Ah no I think you need a watch. Or at least that’s what I use.

Maybe that’s a good enough reason for me to get one.

Strava works, but I just don’t like how much they try to push on you. I just want to track runs and PRs and encourage my friends.

I highly recommend. Personally I have the one without LTE, can store music, podcast & audiobooks and leave the phone home. Apple pay also works for the occasional stop at grocery before going back home. Once you start tracking running, you’ll get addicted to track every other workout, I definitely doubled+ the amount of activity I do just thanks to the gamification aspect.
