I have several friends throughout the country currently training for half and full marathons. This posting is for you!
MapMyRun.com is a social networking community for, you guessed it, runners. Using Google Maps the website allows users to plot a route, track distance and calculate calories burned.
The website also allows users to record workouts and monitor progress. You can even set up email reminders to ensure you do not miss a workout and keep track of when you should replace your running shoes (how cool is that?).
One of my favorite features is that you can visualize your running route in a 3D view.
If you’re a Lance Armstrong in training you can check out Map My Run’s companion site, MapMyRide.com.
These sites are excellent tools for anyone in training that needs some extra motivation.
Train hard; stay strong.
Peace.
Susan
