RunKeeper unveils New Balance awards integration, Prescribed Workouts

Runkeeper NB rewards

RunKeeper has teamed-up with New Balance to bring its users shopping reward certificates, race registrations, and “awesome experiences.”

Those opting to connect RunKeeper and MyNB accounts will instantly earn 300 NB points along with 25 NB for connecting with New Balance on social media; plus 25 points for every RunKeeper GPS or stopwatch mode activity of 10 minutes-plus, for a limit of 200 NB points per month. Taking it from there, here’s what’s on the “menu:”

  • 2,000 NB points gets users $10 off newbalance.com or 3 months free of RunKeeper Elite
  • 4,000 NB points – a race bib to events like runDisney or Falmouth Road Race
  • 200,000 NB points gets users in front of a few of New Balance’s team of pro athletes

RunKeeper hopes this latest integration will push more users to exercise regularly.

And if that’s not enough, there are the newly announced Prescribed Workouts available for RunKeeper Elite members. This personalized service creates weekly workout plans for every user, helping him or her maximize their results and keep them moving forward. That includes in-the-run audio cues, weather forecasts, reminders and more. For the moment, Prescribed Workouts are available for Android users only, with iOS app getting the feature in the near future.
