Campus | Blog | Running apps: Discover our Campus Activity Tracker

For a few years now, the sports tracking applications have flooded the daily lives of athletes. Strava, Runkeeper, Runtastic… three examples that barely touch on the multitude of choices available to runners seeking daily support during workouts, without needing a connected watch.

👉 Good news: Campus has released its own activity tracker! Whether you're already part of the community or not, whether you follow one of our personalized training plans or not, you now have access to a 100% free sports tracking application.

Why track your physical activity?

As running becomes rapidly more popular, several types of runners are emerging. Some completely disregard the notion of performance or even progress and prefer to do without any tracking tool.

For others, which you may be one of, running is also an opportunity to test your limits, push yourself, and set challenges. For this, you need to have a coherent structure. A clear and tailored training plan is the foundation of this structure. But how can you be sure to follow the recommendations and respect your workout?

Training, activity tracking, sports coaching… what is the purpose of a sports tracking application?

That's where the sports tracking application comes into play. Thanks to it, you'll be able to ensure you maintain your target pace, monitor your distance, your workout time, and even analyze a number of data points that can help you progress. You can therefore benefit from support in your training without necessarily needing a connected watch, which is often expensive.

Without replacing a sports coach, the activity tracker will thus serve as a support to your training plan to make your job easier.

🧐 What is the best app for tracking your running training?

Let's start with a given: the best activity tracker is the one that best suits your own needs. Do you want to have a clear overview of your route? Do you want detailed information about your effort intervals? A tracking system that allows real-time adjustments without having to check your phone during your workout? For each criterion, some apps will be more suitable than others.

💡 Objectively, the activity tracker Campus ticks many boxes and can meet many of your training needs. That's what they say…

👌 Essential features of a good sports tracking app

Although your needs should take priority when choosing THE right sports tracking app, we can identify some “essential” features.

Provide a precise overview of the distance covered during your run.
Display pace in real time to be able to adjust in real time during interval training.
Allow interactions during the workout, such as marking intervals or notifying you when you're out of your pace zone.

Campus: the perfect activity tracker to support your running practice.

At Campus, we have always been committed to evolving to enable our subscribers, and more broadly all runners, to progress and train in optimal conditions. We have therefore launched our own activity tracker, designed to make tracking all your runs easier.

💡 Comprehensive features for optimal activity tracking.

The activity tracker Campus allows you to do without a smartwatch. You only need your phone to track your run!

Specifically, the app records every meter covered with precision. You track your distance in real time, directly from your phone. You can also track your pace in real time to ensure you stay in the right zones, regardless of your workout's goal. Jogging, MAS, 30' Threshold or even 60' Threshold… the tracker proves useful in all cases!

But that's not all: the Campus tracker automatically detects and displays each interval of your interval workout. You thus visualize your effort, your recoveries, and your performances for each block. Ideal when you just want to relax your mind and focus on your effort.

But how can you follow the instructions without keeping an eye on your timer? Once again, Campus has thought of everything. With the activity tracking app, you are vocally alerted or via a vibration each time you need to change your pace. You can completely free yourself from your screen and focus on the most important thing: the success of your workout.

Furthermore, the activity tracker Campus allows you to track other indicators more specific to your practice. For example, if you're into trail, you'll be able to see the type of terrain you're running on.

Finally, by using the activity tracking app, you benefit from a comprehensive post-training analysis that allows you to verify that you have properly followed the instructions and the requested paces. Your Campus training plan can also be adapted based on your progress to best suit your fitness and actual level.
