So a hypothetical with skeleton code. The goal is to get my wife's
real-time updates from Latitude and track her while she is running.
Note that I am doing this with my phone and the problem I am getting
is I get the right location but it does not update. I call this every
second as I move

I think you understand more what I am after. I am making an
application that is like My Tracks, but does much more. I want to be
able to do tracks besides my own.
So the thinking is, my wife turns on her GPS and has a gmail account.
I somehow ping her GPS location feed via JSON or REST
The Latitude app takes your co-ordinates from your phone, uploads it to the
Google servers, and then, it gets pushed everywhere else.
I guess, this is what you should also be doing. You can use the Latitude
APIs to update your own location. But looking at the API reference, I don't
think it
Hmmm... not even sure what a runner app is. Do I buy this? How is
it integrated in to my app so that i can get a friends location? It
is ashame that Latitude for all its hype, is this hard to use and so
unreliable. Anyone else have ideas on the easiest and most reliable
way to get a friends
Try the free open-source Google app called My Tracks. I've used it
before and it's good.

I was going to suggest My Tracks as well. But I think what the OP wants is
the ability for his wife's phone to update his phone on her progress. I
would guess it's possible, but you'd have two components to the app. The app
that runs on her phone that updates some service of her progress.. maybe
