What RunnerUp is

RunnerUp is a free, open-source Android app that uses a phone’s GPS to track runs. It records pace, distance, and time, with configurable audio cues for statistics and progress. Workouts can target a pace or heart-rate zone and include configurable intervals modeled after Garmin 410. Users can download and run workouts created in Garmin Connect. Listed heart-rate monitor support includes Bluetooth SMART (BLE), PolarWearLink, Zephyr, and ANT+. Activity uploads can connect to Strava, Runalyze, RunKeeper, RunningAHEAD, and WebDAV. The maker links to RunnerUp Live, where users can see themselves and other runners live. RunnerUp says it requires no registration and does not track users. The code uses the GNU GPL v3 unless otherwise stated. Downloads are available through Google Play, GitHub releases, and F-Droid; the F-Droid version omits some features because of licensing. MapBox tracking is enabled by default when viewing activities on a map.
