Running is hard. It’s especially so for Claire Wyckoff, who has taken to sketching out her routes with Nike+, in order to create some beautiful map artwork.

The San Francisco-based runner has managed to find a way to distract from the fact outdoor running – while a sure-fire endorphin hit and a nice way to discover new things about the neighbourhood – can often be boring, cold, and wet.

Not so for Wyckoff, who is “just trying to save the world”. The copywriter and voiceover artist has developed a habit of “draw running” – planning out her routes with GPS to form pictures on the Nike+ map.

Mostly, she likes to draw run penises.

.@allygreer it's not easy. first, you have to spend a lot of time looking for dicks on maps... countless hours of dick searching...

But Wyckoff’s brain isn’t only in her pants. The map artiste has also drawn a corgi, a Space Invaders alien, a pole dancer, and Slimer from Ghostbusters (yes, really).

We love Wyckoff’s work. She’s keeping fit, having fun, and exercising the mind; it’s the whole package. And if you’re a running zealot and think this whole thing just makes a mockery of your Ironman training? Well…
