Tweet My Distance™

Tweet My Distcance allows you to automatically tweet your distance and your pace as you run with your iPhone. No need for fumbling with your phone to get to your favorite Twitter client while you run - the LogYourRun iPhone application uses the GPS and pedomter of the iPhone and will automatically tweet your distance and pace for every mile / kilometer that you run.

Benefits of Tweet My Distance include:

  • Use it when you run events to keep people updated on your progress and your estimated time of arrival at various points in the race
  • Let your friends and family know how your run is going
  • Update your social networks without stopping
  • Great motivational tool
 

New in version 2.8 - background GPS

With the new iOS4 it is now possible for applications to get GPS location without being left on the screen. If you upgrade your phone to iOS4 you will be able to turn the screen off while running - which is going to offer tremendous power savings. In addition the version 2.7.1 and newer of the LogYourRun iPhone appliction have been optimized for increased battery life - so even if you do not upgrade to the latest version of the iOS or if you have a phone older than the 3GS which does not support background applicaitons - you will still be able to run longer with your LogYourRun iPhone applicaiton.

How it works

Get the LogYourRun iPhone application from the app store. Tweet My Distance is available in version 2.5 and newer. Earlier versions can be updated at no charge. In the settings panel of the app enter your Twitter username and password. Select the data to tweet - either just distance or distance and pace. Start the running timer and start running. The application will automatically detect when you have run one full unit of distance (every 1 mile or 1 kilometer - depending on your chosen distance unit) and will send an update to your twitter account.

LogYourRun iPhone App

In addition to tweeting your distance and pace - the LogYourRun iPhone application will allow you to look at your route once you are done running. If you sign up for a free LogYourRun account you will be able to upload your activities directly from your phone to one of the best running logs on the market. Here you will be able to save and review your data, route, notes, and see your pace at each mile. The LogYourRun website and app also features Facebook integration so you can share your data after you are done with your run with your Facebook friends.

 

Note: Although the LogYourRun iPhone application works great with the iPod Touch - the Tweet My Distance function requires constant internet access and will not work on the iPod Touch.
