Since I’ve recently taken the semi-insane step of signing up to run the Marine Corps Marathon, I’ve been looking at a variety of different sites that can help me / reduce the risk of physical injury. Part of the package of signing up with the MCM, is that you get an online training package thrown in. Great, so I have something that sends me an email every day, telling me to either have a rest, or run 12-14 miles… One of the challenges is that there are no real running trails near my house, but there are at least pavements. Of course, I could run on the treadmill, but I find that I have more motivation outside, so how to plan out a route, and know exactly how far I’ve run… Yes, I could use a pedometer, or map out my route with the car, or I could use the USATF website. So what is there on the USATF website? Well, it’s a Google map that allows you to map out a running route giving you your mile markers along the way, and a total distance.
Now, the data isn’t perfect, there are a couple of roads listed locally that don’t exist, and some that were finished at the end of last year that aren’t on the map, but overall it does it’s job.
