Hi, I am brand new to running and plan to start today (very nervous). How do people plan running routes?? I drive everywhere so don't know where to start planning where to run. Thank you

Welcome to the forum and well done on your decision.
This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
You could walk the route first.
You could use any mapping app, or even a map, to look at appropriate routes.
Google Earth allows you to draw routes and measure them.
Enjoy your journey.
I started yesterday too. I just looked at google maps (don’t drive, but new to the area so don’t know it well yet) and saw a little loop of streets that I then ran. For me it was important that it was a simple easy to follow route so I didn’t get distracted. I went round it a few times, and maybe I’ll change it next week, but it’s also a great way to get to know my neighbourhood
