Since taking up jogging and distance running I found one amazing little iPhone application that I simply have to have a rant about. Its fandangle, awesome. Straight up...
Introducing "Hal Higdon's Half Marathon Training Program" from Bluefin Software. A companion piece of software for your iPhone that will track your progress, manage your goals and spin great words of encouragement in your ear as your burst through the kilometers! Like the idea of someone telling you you're doing a great job, that it's all worth it? You best your ass you do! So do I, it really works a charm. You do get to a point sometimes where you just want to take the short-cut home, but when Hal is in your ear you are reminded of your objectives and how positive an impact jogging can have on your life!
You can load all your favourite songs straight out of the application, and unlike some other applications that I have used - it seamlessly integrates altogether so your track volume is lowered slightly to allow Hal to let you know you've just passed the 5km mark! Great work!
For screen shots or to check out more info you can visit their site @ http://halhigdon.bluefinapps.com/
The best thing is there is another range of similar applications on offer; if you are just starting out perhaps his Couch to 5k would be a great place to start.
I am personally all for great tools like this that improve and allow you to get the most you can out of your exercise. I couldn't imagine training without this genius piece of software! Visit the appstore and download your copy today!
