Last night we released version 3.3 of Power Walk, Bridge to 10K, and Ease into 10K apps. The update for Ease into 5K and the rest of our apps will follow early next week.
This update brings something we’ve been working hard on for quite some time: we are thrilled to announce RunHelper Connect the companion service for our training apps.
We’ve talked about the upcoming RunHelper Connect release and some of the features earlier this summer. Continue reading

RunHelper is coming soon! As we prepare to go live, we’ll be using the blog to share some of the exciting features of the new service and give everyone an idea of what’s to come. Today we’re talking about sharing workout details…another way for you to share you progress and stay accountable.
We’ve talked before about how much good can come from sharing your training progress online. For a lot of us, Facebook and Twitter have become big parts of our day-to-day routine, documenting everything from good food to bad TV.
With RunHelper, you’ll be able to easily post your workout detail screens for your digital friends, giving your immediate network a chance to see what you’re up to. Sometimes putting yourself out there a little bit is just what it takes to stay accountable to your friends and family…and ultimately yourself. After all, once you’re established as someone who doesn’t blow off a workout, you might think twice about skipping that run after a tough day.
And if you want to share your info more privately? You can e-mail workout details, too. It’s all part of our mission to help you manage your training and bring your fitness to the next level.

RunHelper is coming soon! As we prepare to go live, we’ll be using the blog to share some of the exciting features of the new service and give everyone an idea of what’s to come. Today we’re talking about workout reminders…our way of integrating your training schedule into your everyday life the same way you keep track of everything else (with your phone).
Life can get crazy these days, with more commitments, appointments, reminders, and to-do lists swirling around in our heads than ever before. For a lot of us, a smartphone is at the center of the storm, keeping everything straight and our lives on track. Why not tackle your training schedule the same way?
With RunHelper, you’ll get a mobile reminder if you haven’t been keeping up with your workouts, giving you that little nudge you need to get back in the swing of things before you get seriously off track. Whether it’s picking up the milk or sneaking in a run, sometimes we just need a reminder to keep things on our radar. RunHelper is coming to do just that.

RunHelper is coming soon! As we prepare to go live, we’ll be using the blog to share some of the exciting features of the new service and give everyone an idea of what’s to come. Today we’re talking about weekly e-mail wrap-ups…an at-a-glance overview of the work you put in over the previous week.
Let’s face it. A lot of what we do revolves around e-mail. Your RunHelper weekly e-mails will drop your training stats and progress right into your inbox, putting your most current training data front and center (right between the note from your boss and all those forwards from your parents). You’ll have weekly motivation to keep up with your training and an ongoing record of where you stand (complemented by the wealth of data available via the RunHelper site itself of course). It’s one more way to keep you connected, week after week.

As you know, RunHelper is coming soon — a new Bluefin service that will help you consolidate all of your training data in one easy-to-manage location. As we prepare to go live, we’ll be using the blog to share some of the exciting features of the new service and give everyone an idea of what’s to come. Today we’re talking about exporting data…letting you take your training beyond your mobile device.
From the new RunHelper site, you’ll be able to review and analyze all the workout data currently stored within your apps. But that doesn’t mean all that valuable info needs to be trapped on your computer, either.
With RunHelper, you’ll be able to print out your workout history whether you want to hang it on the wall or share it with your doctor. You can also export your info in CSV (comma-separated value) format that you can load into Excel, Numbers, or whatever other software you like. From there you’ll be able to do pretty much anything you can imagine with your data, including keeping a super-detailed training log on your PC.
And are you ready to really get the lay of the land? Export a GPX file of your workout to interact with your route directly in Google Earth.

Last week we were excited to announce the upcoming launch of RunHelper, a new Bluefin service that will help you consolidate all of your training data in one easy-to-manage place. As we prepare to go live, we’ll be using the blog to share some of the exciting features of the new service and give everyone an idea of what’s to come.
So today we’re talking about…
Workout List — Your workouts…in-depth
When you first sign into RunHelper, one of the first things you’ll notice is the Workout List. This is a list of your completed workouts, pulled automatically from the running data in your app and displayed in detail right on the screen.
Crank out a personal best this morning? It’s already in there for you to admire. Have an off day? Check your pace and start getting to the bottom of the problem.
At a glance you’ll be able to review…
All in all, it’s going to help you get more out of your training by letting you dive into the numbers and notes like never before.
Interested?
If you like the idea of RunHelper, be the first to know as we get closer to going live and help spread the word! We’re giving away 50 subscriptions as part of the big launch:
On the day of the RunHelper launch, we will randomly select 50 winners and notify you via the email. We hope you are as excited as we are. Stay tuned for more great features and other details as we get closer to the big day!
