If you’re a runner and would love to train for a special event located anywhere in the world as if you are there, or just want to add some spice to your same ol’ treadmill routine, the Fun Run Trainer app for the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad lets you select the your route, set your desired speed and start running or walking on your treadmill while Fun Run Trainer puts you anywhere you want to be.
With Fun Run Trainer you watch a moving Google Earth satellite video map of some of the most beautiful destinations in the world as you workout. Fun Run Trainer even tells you when to adjust your treadmill’s incline to account for hills. A little blue dot on the map represents you traveling through the course. You can either watch the image as you run, connect your device to a larger screen or just listen to your music and wait for the voice prompts to tell you when to change your inclination settings on the treadmill to match your location.
Fun Run Trainer let’s you run the courses of close to 200 popular events no matter where you live. When you’re done you can upload your workout to Facebook or Twitter to share your run with your friends and other Fun Run Trainer users.
The Fun Run Trainer app for iOS devices is free in iTunes, or you can upgrade to the paid version and create your own route, or train on popular courses like the Peachtree Road Race, the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon or the New York City Marathon.
