Dailymile.com? Running social network
« on: February 07, 2011, 01:18:49 PM »
I just noticed that the newest version of my iPhone running app, RunMeter integrates with Dailymile.com - this is the first I've ever heard of this site but it looks really good! It's social networking for runners, walkers, triathletes, and cyclists, and it integrates with Nike+ and Garmin as well as RunMeter (and presumably other apps as well). I used to use Nike+ before I got ill and DM.com just pulled in 175 old runs from 2007 and 2008 I'd totally forgotten about!

What I think is really cool is that when I start my runs now, it's posted on DM.com, and if anyone comments on my run on DM.com while I'm out there, it'll actually speak the comment to me over the music! :O This is way better than having my husband interrupt me with a text message to buy milk on the way home where I've got to stop and get out my phone to look at the screen. :)

Only problem is, I'm very anti Twitter and Facebook so I've got no friends on DM.com. :( Are there any UKYers on there already? I'm squirrellypoo there, too.

(I used RunKeeper Pro for the past year, until they totally stopped testing for iPhone 3G and I got sick of the constant crashing. RM + DM is way way better, too!)

I just signed up on DailyMile. :) Hopefully it'll keep me motivated to actually stick with a running program...I keep falling off the wagon.

Hooray! We're running friends now. :)

I like that my total kilometre count is enormous from importing all those Nike+ runs. I wish there was a way for me to import my Runkeeper stats from last year, too, but they're stingey with their data...
