Key Takeaways

- Logging runs allows you to track progress, set goals, and participate in challenges
The Nike Run Club app is a popular choice for runners looking to track their workouts, set goals, and join a community of like-minded athletes. One of the app’s key features is the ability to automatically detect and log your runs using your smartphone’s built-in GPS and motion sensors. However, to ensure your run data is accurately recorded and saved, there are a few steps you’ll need to follow.
Starting a Run
Before you begin your run, make sure you have the Nike Run Club app open and the run tracking feature enabled. The app will use your phone’s GPS to detect when you start moving and will automatically begin tracking your run.
To start tracking a run:
- Open the Nike Run Club app on your mobile device
- Tap the “Start Run” button on the home screen
- The app will search for a GPS signal and display the “Ready to Go” screen once it has acquired your location
During Your Run
As you run, the app will continuously track your distance, pace, elapsed time, and other metrics using your phone’s GPS and motion sensors. You can view your real-time stats by glancing at your phone’s screen or by using the audio coaching feature, which will periodically announce your progress.
If you need to pause your run for any reason, such as stopping at a traffic light or tying your shoelace, simply tap the “Pause” button on the app’s run screen. This will ensure that your pause time is not included in your overall run time and distance.
Ending and Saving Your Run
When you’ve completed your run, tap the “End Run” button on the app’s run screen. This will stop the tracking and display a summary of your run, including your total distance, time, average pace, and other metrics.
At this point, you can review the details of your run and make any necessary edits. For example, you can adjust the start and end times if you forgot to pause the app during a break, or you can manually enter your distance if the GPS signal was inaccurate.
Once you’ve verified the run details, tap the “Save” button to log your completed run in the Nike Run Club app. Your run will now be added to your activity log, where you can view your progress over time and track your goals.
Reviewing and Editing Saved Runs
- Open the Nike Run Club app and tap the “Activity” tab at the bottom of the screen
- Locate the run you want to edit in your activity log and tap on it
- Tap the “Edit” button in the top-right corner of the run details screen
- Make any necessary changes to the run data, such as adjusting the distance, time, or route
- Tap “Save” to update the run in your activity log
By regularly saving and logging your completed runs in the Nike Run Club app, you’ll be able to track your progress, set and achieve goals, and participate in challenges and competitions with other runners in the app’s community. Accurate run data is essential for getting the most out of the app’s features and staying motivated on your fitness journey.
