I downloaded RunKeeper (www.runkeeper.com) for my iPhone the other day. It’s free if you can stand some ads. For the ones that don’t like ads there is a $10 (USD) version with more functions.

So, what does RunKeeper do? It tracks your exercise on your iPhone. If you like running, just start the app and stop it when you are done. The built-in GPS tracks your every move, speed, elevation changes, etc. When you are done, you upload the information to RunKeeper’s website and you can also make your training efforts public (I don’t, just yet). It even pulls maps from Google Maps to show where you have been moving around! It even shows the amount on calories you have burned, based on age, weight, and type of exercise. This is simply said a completely brilliant application and I recommend it warmly to anyone wishing to get training motivation.
