I have just recently moved to a new apartment in Chicago, because of that, I have taken up a new route for running. I am curious if there is any free sites where I can find out the distance of my route.
Is there a website that you can essentially draw your route onto a map and it will give you the distance traveled?
I only know of two other options, but neither are "cheap". One would be to get a bike and put an odometer on it, the other is to buy a GPS enabled watch which is also expensive. The third option to drive my car the same route is not possible because much of the paths I run are along the lakeshore and not city blocks that can be driven on. Please help!
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I just signed up and found out my route is 2.59 miles. Which is odd, because I thought it would be much less. haha. Good to know I am healthier than I thought!
MapMyRun is terrific. There is an iphone and android app for it too. I haven't tried it yet, but there's a feature on it that tracks your run via the GPS in your phone. Not sure how well it works though, I never carry my phone with me on a run. Maybe someone else can chime in.
Get a Garmin watch. The cheaper versions are $100 and well worth the money. They measure your mileage accurately as well.
