Website for searching/creating running route

Just looking for advice about what websites you folks use for searching for and creating running routes in your local area?

I'm on week 7 on the plan and i've been running the same places, but now that I need to run for longer, I need to develop a longer route.

Ta!

Hi ek1982, I use mapmyrun.com. I'm sure the others will have other suggestions.

Runkeeper is quite good

When I first started I used goodrunguide.co.uk it has loads of extras like shoe logging to keep track of your mileage (more than one pair at a time). Their reports are good too. First month was free (trial) but that was over 2 years ago so not sure these days.

I use mapmyrun too in conjunction with - cough cough -a map, ha ha :) I have my local OS explorer map which shows all the bridleways, footpaths ect- I love spreading it out on the floor and planning a route whether it's for running, hiking or cycling. They're about £12 if I remember right :D

I use runkeeper during my run but the distance isn't always accurate, so recently I have been using mapometer website to plan a run or see how far I did.

Geodistance.com is really good if you know your local area well, I find the mix of satellite and streetmap imaging really helpful.

Hi, I use walkjogrun.net and find it really useful.

Having said that, I've just had a look at mapmyrun.com for the first time after seeing it mentioned on here, and it's loads better than my suggestion!

Ignore my suggestion! :-)
