Pedometer. The one ive got clips onto your waistband and measures one step each time it jumps up and down, the only problem is you've got to enter your step length and try and maintain it.
Mine is from http://www.maplin.co.uk Order Code L86AH £9.99
Its got a stopwatch too so is good for Fartlek training

Timex Bodylink - GPS speed + distance and heart rate monitor
Timex Bodylink uses GPS which means it can measure speed for ALL disciplines including skiing, sailing, running cycling, anything that moves with clear view of the sky (no good on a treadmill or where there is DENSE tree cover) TIMEX BODYLINK 59551 with GPS
Speed + Distance + Heart Rate Monitor
Timex Bodylink :The Timex Bodylink speed distance and heart rate monitor watch uses digital transmission to eliminate crosstalk and interference. It provides realtime speed + distance monitoring PLUS heart rate monitoring. It has the ability to download to a PC via the Timex Bodylink data recorder. The Timex Bodylink has all the essential pace alarm / speed alarm, auto lap (every 0.5 miles for example) with best pace, average pace etc recall at the end of session. For more details please click this link : Timex Bodylink Speed + Distance + Heart Rate watch - buy online and more information
The Timex Bodylink uses a GPS unit attached to the upper arm to collect the speed and distance information. Good value unit, however a slight compromise on HRM functionality compared to a dedicated HRM like CicloSport CP29, Polar S410 etc. - only £285.00 incl VAT and delivery (this includes the PC data recorder)

You may be disappointed if you fail,
but you are doomed if you don’t try.

There's also one from polar with a Nokia mobile phone, probably costs even more than the timex. A map is cheaper....

I just typed in distance monitor watches on google, seemed like the easiest thing to do. I`m sure there are cheaper ones out there as I just clicked on the first one that came up. Happy hunting. It would be alot cheaper to get a parent or mate to drive around a 3 mile circuit for you, just a suggestion.

Pedometers are only any good if you're running with a constant stride length (ie. on the flat, and never getting tired). They're far better for walking than runs. Waste of money.
If you want to pay extortionate money, buy a basic GPS for around £100 rather than a fancy watch for nearly £300. Even that seems a waste of cash as you're only going to measure each route you do once.
As I said before, cheap as chips bicycle speedo and ride the route is the cheapest/most reliable method.
