Runtastic PRO may be the best app for runners in the Windows Store. It helps you monitor all outdoor (running, walking, hiking, biking, etc.) and indoor (treadmill, cardio, yoga, weight lifting & more) health & fitness activities. Track your sports and fitness activities, boost motivation, burn more calories, achieve greater results and exceed your goals with Runtastic.  The Runtastic app also supports the Runtastic Wearable Connect feature.
