Going the distance

[Deleted User]

Does anyone know of an online measuring thingy so that I can work out the distance I covered in my long run yesterday?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hiya
I use Microsoft Autoroute at work, don't know how much it is to download, but I also double check it with an A-Z (or Ordnance Survey)and car. Pedometers are useful aswell - got mine from Boots.

takes a bit of getting used to but once you do its pretty good.

Do you really want to know? Experience has taught me that accurately measuring a route after the event is always disheartening because its never as far as you hoped. e.g. Its much better to think it was about 20 miles than to find out it was only 18.5!

If you have to know, I recommend Trailguage. You'll need a map to feed it, but you can always steal one from multimap.com.

thank you. I do want to know because I'm training for a 10k. My schedule is based on running for a set amount of time but I want to know how far off / over the distance I am currently going.
