MapMyRun.Com is a great tool for all runners. It’s by far the best site that I have run into (get it?) that helps organize your training and runs. You can use the site to plot out different routes (through the help of Google), save these routes, look for routes that others have created, and keep track of your workouts. It’s basically like Nike+, except that it is accessible to everyone. You can also use it to find various running events that are going on, get advice on training, etc. It’s basically a great portal into the world of running. The best feature, by far, would have to be the mapping, though (which is where the name comes from). I like the fact that when I get bored of my typical routes, there is a directory that I can access that has a whole lot of other runs that I can do.
MapMyRun is actually a part of a bigger project called MapMyFitness. It’s goal is to become to go-to place for tools and applications related to fitness. With MapMyRun they are on the right track to doing so.
