I recently started using new running routes and have noticed that my desire to run has increased dramatically! I now find myself daydreaming about my next run while at work. Could it be the new scenery along the route or the smell of the lilac trees that are making me so ecstatic, all I know it that I look forward to my runs now, more then ever!
One of the reasons why I never included new routes into my training was do to the fact that I wasn't aware of the tools that were widely available. If I did introduce a new route I didn't have a way of measuring the distance, other then using a cars trip meter. Below is a list of route mapping tools that I regularly use, try them out and let me know how they have worked for you:
Map My Run – www.mapmyrun.com Plot your running routes over mountains, through the woods, and speeding through the city (street level views) with just a few mouse clicks. Once your running map is complete you can quickly view it in 3D, satellite maps, or share it with friends.
Run keeper – www.runkeeper.com (Mobile Application) RunKeeper makes tracking your workouts fun, social, and easy to understand so that you can improve the quality of your fitness. If you have any other tools that work for you please feel free to post a comment.
