RunKeeper has shown yet again that it is earning its title as the Facebook of fitness applications as it goes through renovations akin to those of the popular social networking site. Just like Facebook’s new timeline gives users the ability to view their lifetime of activity on one page, RunKeeper allows members of its fitness network to do the same, but with their health information.

RunKeeper ties the many facets of health and fitness together into one platform.While it can track individuals’ cardio and strength activities, blood pressure, or even sleep data in this platform, with the new FitnessReports, users can choose which of these activities are most important to them. This means that RunKeeper members can choose to view the specific data they find relevant throughout their fitness journey, as opposed to the often overwhelming overview that was previously the only option.

Even though the new RunKeeper features allow for increased focus during health data analysis, the application still ensures that users do not miss out on opportunities that may be beneficial to their fitness regiment. These recommendations are provided in a suggestion box inside FitnessReports, where new applications are recommended to users as a way of tracking these items.

Users are also able to use RunKeeper to view trends in different variables such as their weight, daily calories burned, strength training, and sleep over time. Additionally, the application now offers options that allow users to focus-in on items such as distance, duration, personal bests, and more over specific time and date ranges.

Despite all of the items that RunKeeper allows users to measure, track, and zero-in on, a further improvement has been added to this catalog—comparing two health items. Within the updated platform, users are now able to compare any two types of health-related information graphically, with the added option of viewing multiple variables such as sleep and nutrition within these selected options. This allows users to observe correlations between two items and assess what factors have affected changes within them.

Therefore, the new RunKeeper features are much more in tune with individual user needs, providing them with control over what fitness data is important to them. This creates a personalized, user-friendly experience to improve on the already active RunKeeper network.
