    Here at RunKeeper, we’re always trying to find ways to help you better achieve your fitness goals.  We know that many of you aren’t just tracking your workouts for the sake of tracking, but have specific goals that you are trying to achieve.  We wanted to make it easier for you to hold yourself accountable towards achieving those goals.  And for those of you that don’t have goals yet, what better time to start? :)

    We’re pleased to announce that you can now set specific fitness goals on your RunKeeper profile page, and see how you are doing against those goals over time.

    You can set 4 types of goals:

    • Achieve a specific distance(i.e. complete a 10-mile run by July 1, 2012)
    • Finish a race (i.e. run a marathon by September 1, 2012)
    • Lose a certain amount of weight (i.e. lose 10 lbs. by October 1, 2012)
    • Achieve a cumulative distance (i.e. run 50 miles total by April 30, 2012)

    For extra motivation, you can also share these goals with your RunKeeper Street Team, with your friends on Facebook or Twitter, and you can even invite friends and family outside of the RunKeeper community to follow your progress and help cheer you on.

    So what are you waiting for? I’ve set my goal, it’s time to set yours!
