Hand-timing is too much pain in the ass. Is there something specific and good out there? I want something like MyTracks. You push start in the beginning and stop in the end of your session, every single movement is logged and then at the time-speed graph you can see the exact time/distance/top speed of each sprint. But MyTracks is too general, i suppose an app built for running would have more related graphs/features?

I don't know of anything like that, would be pretty cool. I use this one:

Automatically starts, uses the phone gyro to measure rx time so you can just subtract that from the final time. Has full-screen stop button so it's pretty easy to stop it. Downside is you have to hold your phone in your hand, but I guess you can't really do much better solo running unless you had freelap or set up a video.

Hm, interesting, I will install and use this for sure, thanks!
