Naturally, the first thing we did after adding music integration to Fitnio was tune up our running playlists.

One site we found that helped us is JogTunes.com, a site cataloging BPM (beats per minute) rated label and indie music. If you're looking for upbeat songs to run or ride to, this is a great place to go. The site's founder, Dr. Bob, also has a podcast devoted to great indie music to exercise to.

Let us know in the comments what songs keep you motivated when exercising.

Camels walk 2.5 miles per hour

I was lucky enough to recently travel to Morocco with a friend who grew up there. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was riding camels in to the Sahara desert. Being the nerd that I am, I obviously wanted to know how fast a camel walks so I tracked our camel ride with Fitnio.

The unanticipated bonus of tracking camel speed was that I now have a map of my camel ride. How cool is that?

Marathon, check!

noreply@blogger.com (Robby) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 19:26:00 +0000

I'm very proud to say that, as of yesterday, my sister and I have run a marathon! (Our time wasn't spectacular, but hey, we finished!)

A lot of people have asked me how it was, and I have only one word for it: hard. Well, it also was fun and memorable and a great memory for me to share with my sister Jenny. But mostly it was hard!

That being said, a year ago I would have said it was impossible. Having Jenny as a training buddy and using Fitnio to track my progress made it possible and actually bizarrely fun.

Have you used Fitnio to train for a running event? Post about it in the comments - or blog about it and we'll link to your post from our blog.

Fitnio 1.0.1 - faster GPS connections

noreply@blogger.com (Robby) — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 03:30:00 +0000

We're happy to announce the first upgrade to Fitnio, version 1.0.1. This version reduces the time to connect to GPS, as well as provides a bar to indicate how good the GPS connection is.

We also added support for total ascent, the sum of all elevation gains. For example, going up a 100 foot hill gives an elevation gain of 100 feet. Going up and down it twice still gives an elevation gain of only 100 feet, because elevation gain is simply the distance between the highest and lowest point of your run or ride. Total ascent in this case would be 200 feet.

Enjoy - and please don't hesitate to email us about it at feedback@fitnio.com
