iMapMyRun


I love this app. I live in an area that doesn't allow many creative running routes, so I use iMapMyRun to find new routes to change up the scenery. 


You can also specify your zip code and/or allow GPS to track, and you can see the running routes others in your area have posted. You can specify how flat/hilly you prefer your routes, and how many miles you would prefer. iMapMyRun will hook you up with a route that you'll be happy with. Plus, all the routes posted by others have reviews, which is great. You can save your favorite routes and add specific goals to save to your iMapMyRun account. 


Say you're training for a half marathon, and you need to be running X amount of miles each day. You can plug in your desired miles and iMapMyRun will give you an exact route. 


Sometimes I use the app while on vacation because I'm not familiar with the area. I really like looking at routes that others have posted, especially since it gives the routes some credibility when I know others have already ran them. 


I like to look back at the routes I've saved... I can go back and track my improvement, including the gradual increase of mileage over time. 


Great app to download for those interested in a running network; I've also made it a hobby for me to post my routes, and I love when people comment and review them. It really is a workout network.
