The iPhone has fast become the must have gadget and now thanks to a new fab little app by Map My Tracks sport lovers can turn their phones into training computers.

OutFront is the brand new app available to the iPhone and for £1.79 you can change your exercise regime completely.

It turns your phone into a high performance, multi-sport, cross training computer that can be applied to almost any outdoors sport. But at a fraction of the usual cost for a training device like this.

Team Sky, a top level cycling team are among the first highly publicised groups to use the new application to help their athletes with their training.

OutFront allows users to see how many calories they have burned, elevation gain or loss, monitor their speed, pace and distance. It also maps out new routes and then allows you to sync your progress online for others to see and follow.

In all the OutFront iPhone app includes:

  • Advanced activity tracking with detailed performance statistics including speed, distance, pace, calories burned, elevation and course - all on a clear and easy-to-use interactive map display;
  • Comprehensive personal activity log to better understand the performance and aid training;
  • Access to 1000s of free worldwide routes and activities to analyse, replay and download;
  • Detailed maps, with 3D fly-through in North up or course up follow mode;
  • GPS compass mode;
  • Offline tracking when no network coverage is available; and
  • Full compatibility with the Map My Tracks event management system.

The OutFront app is already out on the market and is available to download from the App store.
