RunKeeper Adds A New Goal Coach Feature To Keep You Motivated And In Shape

Just days after launching a new app called Breeze, the folks over at FitnessKeeper are adding a new tool to their signature fitness app for the iPhone/iPod touch. RunKeeper 4.5 adds Goal Coach, which helps get you motivated and pick goals that are realistic and specific to you.

Here’s how:

Ready… First, tell us what gets you going! In the new “goals” tab (previously labeled “training”), enter your motivation - whether it be a race, target weight, anything - and a corresponding picture as a reminder of why you’re putting in all this hard work.

Set… Then, Goal Coach will help you set the right goal and training program that is challenging, yet within reach. Goal Coach does this by intelligently combining everything it knows about you and others like you, to make recommendations that are specific and effective for your needs and lifestyle.

GO! Get moving! Use RunKeeper to log your workouts, track your progress, and keep you motivated to hit that goal out of the park.

Goal Coach is a free feature for every RunKeeper user. When paired with a RunKeeper Elite subscription, the feature also motivates with weekly updates, helpful suggestions, and more. RunKeeper is a freemium app available for download on the App Store. Breeze provides simple insights into your daily routine and motivates you to make fitness a bigger part of your life. A RunKeeper Elite subscription adds advanced reports and alerts, and the ability to live stream your activities to family and friends. Starting May 1, Elite membership will see an increase to $9.99/month or $39.99/year for new users only. All current Elite users are grandfathered into their current pricing plans.
