What’s the best race souvenir you’ve ever received? Maybe it was a water bottle, a t-shirt, or a photo of you crossing the finish line. But what about a video? With the newly released version of runtastic PRO, you can now take home a customized course video to relive your next marathon, 5K or scenic training run.

runtastic has teamed up with Google Earth to provide video playback of every run or GPS activity you track with runtastic PRO for Android. In addition to retracing a route, the video displays the time, pace, elevation and even live cheers you received during your run. Want to see how it works? Check out the video:

 

 

Whether you’re running your first half marathon, biking across the Golden Gate Bridge, or hiking in Nepal, runtastic’s 3D video playback allows you to hold on to the memory and imagery of your activity. Through the app, you can even share a breathtaking vacation walk or suggest a new training trail to a friend via social media – Google+ included.

runtastic is the first fitness app to use Google Earth and Google+ technology, and we can’t wait for you to try it out! If you already have runtastic PRO for Android, don’t forget to update to version 3.3. If you’re new to runtastic, visit the Google Play store to download the runtastic App.

 

 

iOS users, we didn’t forget you! The brand new runtastic PRO version 2.8 for iPhone (4, 4S) includes a highly-accurate Auto Pause feature (available in the Android upgrade as well). When a traffic light or untied shoe forces you to stop, runtastic automatically pauses the app’s timer, which restarts when you do. The iOS update also incorporates iCloud so you won’t lose any settings or data when upgrading from LITE to PRO. For more information, head over to the App Store.

Thanks to all our users who helped runtastic reach 10 million downloads earlier this month! We hope you enjoy these upgrades, and would love to hear your thoughts on all the exciting new features! Feel free to leave us a comment here or share videos of your routes with us on Facebook or Tweet them to @runtastic or @runtasticUS.

Saturday morning, the sun is shining in Linz, Austria, looks like a perfect day for a running competition…

With my running shoes, shorts, new runtastic T-shirt, armband, my smartphone and of course my runtastic PRO application with me I am ready to go the Kulturzentrum Hof to meet all the runtastic team.

With no one missing to put on the number and the chip we go to the start at the Brucknerhaus; I can feel it is starting to rain…

Warm up, stretch, focus on the goal, start LIVE activity, go!!! run!!!

Go, go, go! I can hear my friends following me in the web and cheering me up through my headphones… suddenly voice feedback: 5 km achieved, uff! just one more to go, I need extra power, it’s time for my Powersong “Gonna fly now” from Rocky, nothing can stop me now, the adrenaline rushes through my veins!… and I am in the finish line, I stop my runtastic session, look at my time, my average time per km, wooow!!! not even the rain that catched us out could stopped me from enjoying running the amazing track of the 3 bridges across the Danube and achieving my goal… not only achieving it but beating it!

Now it’s time for relaxing, drinking something, and enjoying the atmosphere inside the tent with the rest of the team! There is nothing compared to the runtastic experience!

Curious… the sun is shining again inviting us for the next race! See you there!!!
