Running Routes at WalkJogRun

Welcome to WalkJogRun

What is WalkJogRun?

Simply put, it's a way to plan running routes a distance/speed calculator. I've been using it to set up a route before I grab my running shoes.

We also maintain a list of great running shoe deals and other gear.

How does it work?

Click on the map to set a starting point. Then keep clicking from point to point to draw a route. Click on any of the markers for your route and see how far this point is from the start and what the estimated time would be for a given speed.

Building a running community

You can save your maps by clicking on any of your markers and hit "Save Your Route" to add it to the database. Next time you or anyone else looking in your neighborhood is looking for a route, they will see your pin.

Calories for different sports

I often get requests to show calorie requirements for different sports in addition to running. If anyone has a generic formula for estimating calories for any other sports please let me know but it must be based on weight and distance.

I looked around but there appear to be many contradicting sources for most sports, especially cycling where hills and wind play a big part. With that in mind if you do provide a formula, please let me know your source so I can take a look. The idea is not to be 100% accurate but at least to give people a rough idea.

For reference, the formula I use for running is based on the Runners World formula:

calories = weight in kg * distance in km * 1.036
