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. Connect your Runtastic Orbit or Moment to see your current activity stats on your wearable.

The app has now been updated to version 3.4 with the new Shoe Tracking feature. Shoe Tracking is designed to keep track of the mileage on your running shoes to help athletes stay safe and injury-free while keeping your feet happy.

The app has just been updated with a new Story Run for interval training, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst: A Runner’s Destiny with content licensed from EA. The Story Run takes you through a thrilling Sci-Fi adventure set shortly before the story of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst kicks off and with music by Solar Fields and voice-over by Jim Pirri (Noah), fans of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will feel right at home. Will you be fast enough to escape the city of Glass?
