    I use RunKeeper. It's pretty good and simple.

    I have an iPhone so idk what you have, maybe it's on your app store too.

  • I look up the names of the streets that I run on. I detail my running route on mapquest and it tells me how many miles. That's what I go by.

    Otherwise, sometimes I run on the trail that we have, which has mile markers on it. Other times I run on a track, which I know is 400 metres around.

    Those apps and things don't work right. Do it the old fashioned way and know without depending on a device.

    loads in the app stores. Iphone 4 even came with one installed, made by Nike. They use GPS and either iMaps or google maps to do the calculations.

    MapMyRun is a great one! Also, if you don't want to carry your phone, you can use it online when you get home to draw out your route and it tells you how far you've gone.
