Maybe you’re a serious athlete, and already keep track of your workouts in some form or other. But if you’re a beginner or a casual runner, you might want to think about doing so, because knowledge is power, and having a good record of what you’re already achieving could help you improve your performance. Just seeing your progress can be hugely motivating -- keeping track of where you’ve already been might help you get out the door again tomorrow morning. As ever, your Mac and iPhone are fine companions as you pull on those trainers and get ready to run.
There are a number of online services that can help you to track your workouts, but if you’re not interested in social exercising, if you generally prefer not to share your information online, or if you like to keep your data on the desktop, then rubiTrack is a great option. If you enjoy keeping track of the details of your exercise, rubiTrack can be inspiring and instructive. It might even be fun as you compete against your past performance and see if you can beat your previous best time.
