I have no plans to take up running, just wondering since it was a topic to come of recently.
I haven't because of previous bad experiences with relying on the accelerometer for distance and speed. Probably unfair to the watch but I just don't think it can ever be as accurate.

That, and I like having the GPS map of where I have run/biked.
