    I use a app for my iphone called Strava - it GPS tracks my distance. You can also, map your distance using web sites like mapmyrun.com

    If I'm interpreting the question right, I use the Nike+ app on my iPod. It tracks your distance throughout your run and keeps you updated with how far you have left to run. It's pretty handy :)

    Now I use the runkeeper app on my phone. Before that, I used the runkeeper website to plot a course.

    Certainly more fun with the app... I don't have to remember where I went. :happy:

    mapmyride app is what I usually use
    I stopped using runkeeper as it wasn't accurate for me all the time.
    and finally, my fitbit.

    Have used all above plus Nike+ (sensor), Nike+ GPS (now Nike Running), iMapMyRun. Endomondo, Strava....

    I like Nike+ the best because at the end of the year it does this amazing data analysis of your entire year's running, what your average distance/speed etc was, how much faster you got...how you compare to your age group/gender etc etc... Its fab!

    One lap around the park is 2 miles and every 1/4 mile has a marker. I always do the whole path though.

    On the local high school track, 4 times around equals a mile

    My Garmin FR60 training watch has a footpod that is really a high tech pedometer. Feeds in speed, distance, etc.

    GPS watches or smartphone apps (MapMyRun or Endomondo) use the phone gps and are pretty accurate.

    A question for YOU do the Nike+ (sensor) and nike Running sync? I run on the dreadmill at least once a week, and as well know the GPS apps don't work so well there. I'm considering getting the sensor. Is it all seamlessly input to the same Nike account?

    yes it does. I have several sensors, as well as use the app inside/outside and use my ipod nano. They all go to my one Nike account.
    I personally love the Nike+ Running app on my iphone best.

    I use Nike+ Running for my iPhone. It tracks everything, gives you updates while you are running, and it gives you trophy's for beating records and such. I love Trophies.
