Running requires commitment and willpower, but some days you just don't have it in you to get out of bed and pound the pavement.

Smash Run is a website that inspires you to get up and go. When accessed from an iPod/iPhone, Nike+ receiver, or entered manually on a computer, it keeps track of the user's run and gives the runner a context of their run by comparing it to past runs and to other users' workouts. It can store and graph years worth of run history for comparison.

When a run is logged on the site, the average pace, average speed and food equivalent to the calories burned, along with other stats will be shown.

As you progress, the program will show the total number of miles you've run since you started (or however far back you've updated) and track things like longest break, average daily run and even personal records.

Badges are earned as more runs are recorded and progress can be share with friends on Facebook or Twitter.
