You can, though, get a two week free trial to give everything a thorough test and see if it’s worth it for you. The training plans are also on Premium, as is the Live Tracking feature, where you can share your live location with a friend or family member for safety.

But a fair amount of both data and additional features - for instance heart rate, power and cadence analysis - are only available on the Premium version ($5.99/£4.49 a month or $29.99/£26.49 a year). While it functions very well as a simple tracker, Map My Run has a lot more data it can offer, nicely laid out in simple numerical or graph form that is very easy to understand. Read our Map My Run review to find out more. It’s also one of the easiest to integrate to other devices and apps, from smartwatches to MyFitness Pal. Over time, you can track your performance and progress towards your goals, and the built-in training plans make it one of the best running apps for beginners. Though the name implies running-only, you can also treat it as a training diary and log all your other activities, from swims to yoga. But actually, Map My Run offers a lot more too.

If that’s all you need, then look no further.
