Track your distance
To track your distance, use your smartphone, or download an app like Map My Run, Strava or Endomondo.
If you’re taking your walk/run outside, map your route. You may have a favorite spot to run, walk, or hike, but if not, here are a few tips to find a safe space:
- Check out the parks, bike paths, colleges, and schools in your community.
- Find an athletic track (12.5 laps on a 400m track = 5k).
