Ok, I've just created a branch for an updated run app. What do you think? https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/compare/run_module?expand=1
- There's now an exstats module which any app can use to get stats on exercise.
- You can now choose what (if anything) should go into each one of the 6 boxes from settings
- The distance that pace is over is configurable
- GPS/HRM enable options are now gone, because you can just remove any boxes (HRM/distance/etc) that need those devices and they will no longer be powered on
cadence would be better replaced with PACE_NOW which could be calculated from current fix and 2-3 fixes ago

I've added a 'Current Pace' option for statistics that just uses the GPS reported speed. Personally I feel much more confident using that than calculating it from raw GPS coordinates as the GPS itself has a much better idea what's going on

How do I install this ? Apologies, I could probably fugure it out but short on time.

Looks like you have been busy.
When don't we rename RUN to SIMPLE-RUN and just say in the README
```
This app is deliberately small, minimal and easy to understand.  It has workable features but is not configurable.  We'd like to keep this small to act as a tutorial piece so please only contribute simple/minor enhancement or bug fixes. 
```
Then the new configurable app can be called RUN and we take it forward.

BTW gpstouch has a geotools module and distance between 2 lat / lons would be agood thing to put into that. I'm not sure how you make a generic library that can be used by other apps other than making the other app a dependancy.
