Asics App

My Asics is a really nifty and useful tool for road running. It keeps track of your mile pace and gives instantaneous updates. Upon the completion of your run, it will show you your route, distance, and splits. While its a fantastic, free app I have a few recommendations. (1) I dont the gps updates frequently enough to accurately track the windy twists and turns of a trail run-which makes the distance and pace count vary. (2) Inclines and declines arent (to my knowledge) tracked. It would be interesting to compare how grade affects speed and difficulty of the run. I know the iPhone at least has background apps that tracks flights of stairs, perhaps Asics could pull that figure to add more statistics to the route. (3) Im not sure if the app is integrated with smart watches, but it would also be neat and informative to see heart rates fluctuations throughout the run. All in all, the app is very useful. I love to view, store, and compare my runs and this app does a phenomenal job of providing that information to the runner. Its great to see Asics invest in the runners world beyond their shoe line.
