http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/07/runkeeper-training-programs_620x340.jpgIt's easy to find running apps (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/21/nike-running-comes-to-android/) that offer goals -- it's harder to find one that inspires you to run in the first place. RunKeeper (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/11/runkeeper-for-ios-new-social-feed-leaderboard/) wants to be that motivator, and it just overhauled the training section of its iOS app to match. The refresh takes broad, skill-based programs from sites like Greatist and breaks them down into more realistic daily objectives, such as running a little bit further or taking a break. There's also a steady stream of tips for staying healthy between sessions. RunKeeper hasn't said when Android-bound athletes will get the new training routines, but their iPhone-owning counterparts can grab the update at the source link.
