Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Looking for a better way to track workout data

I'm looking for an door or something similar to help track my miles, elevation gain, calories burned, time spent, etc. in a format on my Android phone. User friendly, etc.

Suggestions? I'm using onX but I want more data.....

Thanks -

My wife uses some runners App. ... runkeeper. It does all those

Gaigps shows distance, pace, moving pace, total time, max speed, elevation gain with a profile

Strava is probably the most popular. I kind of gave up on making it work on my phone, because it apparently loses gps frequently where I run.

Whoop...really great.

Something totally phone based or a wearable that links to a phone? I wear a Garmin forerunner watch you can use Garmin’s app and add something like Strava as well if you want the social aspect.

Map, pen & paper, number of sandwiches and snacks eaten, a watch.

Keep your phone for emergencies, Homeskillet.

Phone based.

I use the Samsung Health app that came on my Samsung phone. It's available on the Android Play Store. It keeps track of time, distance, speed, elevation gain, steps, calories. It shows a map of your route and includes elevation and speed graphs. It keeps a history of your workouts.

Strava is pretty good, that's what I been using for my charity walks, you can use it for 30 days to try it out.

I ran track and cross country for years in school and have done a lot of hard physical labor in the years since. I've kept in pretty good shape and have never written down a thing beyond 'I'm tired'. I guess keeping records of getting tired isn't my thing.

It helps me maintain my incentive. If I wake up lazy, or its windy or numerous other excuses that one may have, it gives me the incentive, to get off my asp and start moving. I see way to many people my age (and younger) whom have given up, and do nothing. They pay the price with health issues. I no longer compete as I did when I was younger, nor do I try to "beat" someone else. I do it for "my" health and so that I can maintain the ability to get out there in tough rugged terrain and get the job done. I only keep a record of miles when I am in Az, because once I am back home I focus more on daily elevation gains rather than distance. As hunting season comes closer I carry a pack, a rifle or some other kind of weight to further enhance my capabilities, And be at the best I can on opening day

Unless I didn't get the memo that we were boycotting them.

I use a #2 pencil and a small spiral notebook.

How do you monitor your elevation gain and loss after a 10 mile hike of big ups and downs, calories burned, actual route miles, etc.?

Thanks for your contribution. Helps a ton....

Did 20 minutes tracking my route with Gaiagps today and holy battery suck in a 4G area. The free version.

I went from 100% phone battery with nothing else running to 76% in 20 minutes. I closed it as I still had 7 miles to go. My phone is really good with battery too. OnX track uses very little battery.

That ain't gonna work....

Strava is the answer to your question.

I track in airplane mode, don't have cellphone coverage anyways, but less battery use in airplane mode; still tracking does definitely suck some energy

Copy that. I'll try airplane mode next time but as I'm in free trial mode I wondered if the topo would load....

I'll play with airplane mode next time....

Still an extreme battery suckage....

you have to load the chosen area map first when you have wifi- just save it, if you go to a new area- load another prior
