I like to know how far I have run or biked, my per mile pace, and the calories I have used. I even like to map out my favorite routes and save and share those routes with other athletes. I use a simple and free tool – MapMyRun.com – to track my workouts. The three MapMyRun.com features I like best and use most often are:
1) Satellite mapping of running routes. I usually run on trails that are not on the standard map but can be seen with the satellite map zoom feature.
2) Gear tracking to track the number of miles I run on each pair of shoes. I usually replace running shoes after 250 miles and MapMyRun will alert me that a pair of shoes needs replacement.
3) Weekly leader board Reports are emailed to me each Sunday that show my workouts compared to my running and cycling friends.
