Anyone using map my run or similar? GPS watch?

Ive been using map my run just to show where I have been running and wondered if anyone else uses it?

I also wondered whether anyone is using a GPS watch to track their run routes and look at pace?

I use gmap-pedometer.com to plot my routes, although have used map my run in the past too.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 110 which is currently around the £100 mark on Amazon or £117 with HRM, although those prices vary from day to day and week to week. It tracks your route, time, speed, pace, heart rate (if you've bought the one with the chest strap) and will show you all this plus the elevation and mile/km splits once you upload it to connect.garmin.com. A number of people use the Forerunner 110 on here.

I used to use mapmyrun and it is a good site.

However I am one of Garmin 110 users and love it! I now have a years worth of running stats at my fingertips - I don't rightly know what I am going to do with that but I mostly use it for keeping a check on my pace as I run.

I've been using Endomondo and have found it to be great - although it did "eat" my run today and lose the details which was annoying. It's a free download and gives you all the stats you could imagine!

I tried MapMyRun but preferred GoodRunGuide its about

£10 a year but you can use it for the first month free to see if you like it. It has loads of info. I then time my run with a stop watch, works for me until I can afford a Garmin or something similar.

I treated myself to a Garmin 305 with a heart rate monitor to celebrate finishing the programme and hitting four stone lost and I love it! I dont use all the features but it does the basics well and - important for me as I am not very technically minded - simply!

Between myself and my partner we tried mapmyrun but it sometimes lost us but endomondo has been good so far. Only thing is I have one of those arm strap things for my htc and endomondo has a Max 60sec countdown. It is a little frustrating to set it going when I start running whilst trying to put it away :) I suppose when I've done with the podcasts it wont matter because the timing wont matter so much.

Another Garmin 110 user here - it's so easy to use and I love mine!

And another Garmin 110 fan! Love plugging it in and looking at the run afterwards.

Lots of votes for the Garmin... Might have just found a great reward gift to myself for graduation!
