There are plenty of mapping applications on the internet which you can use to plan your training routes. Here are some to try.

Our partners at the Flora London Marathon have made this one available for us.

FLM Routefinder. 

Basically this mapping tool allows you too map out your favourite runs - complete with distances (miles and kilometres) - using specially detailed maps and satellite images. You can save multiple routes and share them with running friends.

You may prefer to use Map my Run , another useful Google Maps tool for route planning.
