I know that Nike and Runner+ are great web based logs but a PC based software to log your runs is a always welcome.

I found several paid softwares that are OK, others great such as runners studio...however...I'm looking for a free one.

Surfing the web I bumped with sports tracks - www.zonefivesoftware.com/SportTracks - a great program.

I'd like to hear from another runners...

I'm also looking for a program that can take the info from my ipod for my runs etc. so while i'm away from home & may not have access to the internet, but would like to see the info for what i have done.
i have had a few probs with the the old ipod, having to restore it once or twice over the last week or so. & as i'm going away soon, i don't really want to loose the data and i will be covering a lot of ground. Any Help Would be greatfull....

 geiza_dobashi says:

In Sportstrack I couldnt figure out how to view detailed charts (like pace etc) of one activity. I only saw summary charts. Anyone?

If you are using a Mac, I recommend giving TrailRunner a try. It is a beautiful Mac desktop application that allows you to keep track of your training logs. It also does some sort of GPS mashup, but I have not tried that yet. It does work automatically with the iPod too. It is donate-ware so if you do not donate anything it will keep asking you for donations, although it will still work if you don't give anything. It also has training schedules and events if you need them.

I've used nikerunning.com, creating a training schedule based on distance and level(beginner, interm, expert). Then you can download the schedule and use your outlook to remember the workout. Then when you have time, you just need to sync the ipod and the website will be updated automatically. Also, there's another info like shoes, pace, weather, HBR, ...

 rsilveira says:

flix123...in the tab that is written "summary" you can see an arrow that shows you other data of the marked activity like pace,splits, elevation, workout and cycling.
I think this have answered your question.

 geiza_dobashi says:

anything else that is pc based?

 bendoke says:

Sport Tracks can give you all the data that you need. Works great!
To get the details you want...click the little down arrows on the top right of the different windows inside the app... Not a normal menu option, but once I figured that out, I loved it.

For the iPod there is a Program wich save your runs on your PC! Its Java based and called Neki++
Its not the best, but it its a little help to save your runs. And its freeware

thanks rsilveira and bendoke. I got it figured out and after playing with it I also think its the best PC based program. Very nice charts and powerful chart/map interaction.
