Tracking Mileage

It’s not always necessary to know how far you ran during a workout. Sometimes the time spent on your feet is more important than the distance traveled. Mostly, however, you will want to know your mileage so you can enter it in your logbook. You also need the information to monitor your shoe wear. There are several ways to keep track.

If you often run a particular course, perhaps in your neighborhood or on a trail nearby, you can measure it once and always know how far you went. That keeps you from having to do anything special to measure each time.

There are also fancy pedometers that keep up with your mileage. Some can be calibrated for your gait and will measure distance traveled whether you are walking, running, or doing something in between. Some will also time your run and, based on information about your age and weight, will calculate the calories burned during your run.

Then there are the GPS devices, which are just the ticket for the triath-lete who likes toys. Each year, although the devices seem to grow smaller, they continue to add features. The unit you wear on your wrist when you run works like the device in your car that gives you directions.
