How do you plan and train for long runs?

On The Go Map

I typically use how far did I run?. I prefer the interface to Strava and Garmin, it shows more of the trails I use than other apps, and it’s easy to see the elevation profile. I also use Strava heat maps to find new places.

Plotaroute

My watch is a basic Garmin Forerunner 35 with my map functionality or turn/directions capability. If I'm running somewhere new (somewhere I need to drive to or in a different city) I'll occasionally use plotaroute.com to plot my route and either write the turns down on a small piece of paper I'll carry and glance at periodically or download the GPX file and upload it to use in the rungo app. That app gives audible turn-by-turn directions so if I use it I'll strap my phone to my arm and run with an ear bud in one ear to hear the turns and none in the other ear so I can hear my surroundings.
