Allo runners what do you use to record the miles you are running?
I currently use "good run guide. co .uk" but it is a bit of a pain and not sure how accurate it is.
Cheers
Rob.
i dont do big miles but track what little i do via garmin connect
A pen and paper.
mapmyrun.com and excel combined, depending how geeky I'm feeling with the stats.
My brain.
Google Pedometer is pretty good if you can remember/ know which route you're running. Add up the miles in Excel or similar.
If you want a new gadget, get yourself a GPS tracker. Garmin's Forerunner watches are great, but there are probably cheaper solutions if you need them
I use an Android app called Endomondo (actually the 'pro' version - though I'm not convinced it's worth the extra over the free version). Although last time I used when running home from work it thought I was heading west from near Shrewsbury towards the Welsh border, it also thought I ran 13+miles miles in under 35 minutes... (I actually work/live in North Yorks) - probably a phone issue as I was getting too cold standing around waiting for my phone to get a GPS fix so just set off. I use the same app for tracking mtb and road rides too and the app automatically upload them to the website (which I think is pretty similar to the Garmin Connect one iirc)

Though the stuff also ends up on garmin connect (which blows goats) by default.
I used to use [url] http://www.runningfreeonline.com/ [/url] for lots of exciting graphs.
Endomondo, but as above can be a pain in the ass when the stupid thing just sits waiting for a satellite fix under a perfect cloudless sky...
Serious question - what are you all doing with these records of your runs?
Staring at them.
It's like collecting stamps.
Runkeeper.

i measured the mileage of my regular local routes using the runkeeper i-phone app, and then record the sessions on a wall calendar to keep a check on progress..i hear the garmin forerunner is the best tool which i will defo invest in when i have the money
Garmin connect on my iphone.
Endomondo. Though other alternatives are available.
Don't really do much with the data, it's more of a nerdy "isn't that cool" kind of thing.
