YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – Jogging isn’t really my favorite outdoor exercise. In fact, I don’t quite enjoy it. But I run pretty much every day unless it rains. I sometimes wonder, though, how many kilometers I run on my usual route? That’s how I ended up developing this iOS app. This new release is called Ten Miles.

Ten Miles is an iPhone-only app that lets you keep track of the elapsed time and the distance you run while jogging or walking. You can create different route groups so that you can compare the current elapsed time and distance with the average numbers for the selected group. The app also lets you get the current weather conditions. Additionally, Ten Miles saves each exercise record so that you can review your past history and recreate the route you have taken on the map if necessary.

While you are running or walking, Ten Miles lets you make a distance mark announcement at 2 kilometers, 4 kilometers, 6 kilometers, 8 kilometers, 10 kilometers, and 20 kilometers. Of course, you can choose at which distance you want a distance mark announcement. You can also have a distance mark announcement in terms of miles. When you hit a distance mark, you will receive a voice announcement along with the inline view and a device vibration.   Continue reading →
