Hey, I am awful at estimating distances but would love a rough idea of how far I am running since I am trying to build up the distance. How reliable are stepometers for this? I know they are nowhere near good enough for competitive runners but I don't need that level of accuracy can't afford the GPS watches unless there is something in between? Estimating my route from a map is really difficult since it is so complicated. Any ideas? Sorry the question turned into a bit of a ramble :) Thanks.
Answer
I run on roads so when I want to estimate distance I just drive my car through the route and reset my distance meter. The stepometers are good if you set it up correctly.

I want to get my boyfriend a watch that measures the distance he runs for our 2 year anniversary. What would you reccomend?
Cant be too expensive, im 16.
He runs varsity cross country but lost his a while ago, and i know he'd love a new one.

It sounds like you want to get him a GPS watch.
An alternative to that is the Nike Sport band which is only $60. it uses a sensor you attach to your shoe laces or put in a nike + shoe. Not as accurate as a GPS watch but they look cool, plus they get you onto the Nike + site.
The cheapest GPS watch I know of it the Timex Marathon. It's about 100 bucks and not really that great a watch. And I'm thinking $100 is probably out of your price range, anyway.
As an alternative, you might get him an ipod shuffle.
A similiar idea is that a lot of runners need a watch with an interval timer. The Casio Men's W756-1AV Digital Sport Watch is only about $20 but is a great watch for the money.
