Need a new running or walking route? Meet MapMyRun & MapMyWalk

Many moms get stuck in a rut of walking or running the same route over and over and over again. You are pressed for time so 20 or 30 minutes to grab some cardio is just that. It is not time to brainstorm for a new route. The monotony often leads to burn out and ultimately just dropping the walking or running routine all together.

Then there are times when San Diego moms take their kids to some activity (soccer practice, gymnastics, swimming lessons, baseball, karate….) and have some idle time. The thought crosses your mind that you could grab a quick walk or jog, but you have no idea where to go and can’t be late for pick up. So you go grab a coffee and send a few texts to some gal pals instead.

MapMyWalk & MapMyRun makes these barriers to your quick cardio boost a thing of the past. Simply put in your address and how far you want to go and it will give you route options. Then if you want you can log these into your training calendar and it will keep track of your training. They also have product reviews, groups, fitness tools and much more.

For all of you Moms with iPhones out there, there is a free application called iMapMyRun. With this application gps finds you and you start your route. Upon completion you choose if you, walked, ran, road a mountain or road bike and then it saves your route and automatically downloads it to your account! It also displays your miles/hour or minute/mile and the route. Now that is awesome! Finally a way to tell how long that trail run is.

Take advantage of San Diego’s great weather and MapMyWalk & MapMyRun to squeeze some cardio on your day. Your body will thank you!
