Bupa Smart Runner app for iPhone and iPad

Free Bupa Smart Runner app for iPhone and iPod Touch
Run smarter, stay stronger.

Bupa Smart Runner, the app for all levels of running ability, is designed to help you add variety and fun to your running with a Bupa smart run once a week, learn better running technique, log any niggles in the Diary and access personal advice from Bupa experts.

Bupa smart runs are a selection of 3 types of randomised running workouts – hill runs, sprint runs and cross-training runs. Smart runs provide you with a more interesting workout, to replace one normal run per week. Using a Bupa smart run can help to reduce the risk of running injuries, improve your technique and make you stronger.

If you notice any tell-tale niggles, you’ll be able to log these in the Bupa Smart Runner Diary. If they become a cause for concern, you can visit the Bupa Running Facebook page to get personal advice from Bupa’s range of sports medicine experts. If need be, you can find a local Bupa-recognised physiotherapist in the ‘Find a physio’ tool and then email them a handy PDF log of your niggles.

The Bupa Smart Runner app is available for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch.
