Great! Will definitely try it out. Is there an option to get the benefit of the app w/o the "social" part? Running for me has always been a solo sport, closer to meditation.
Excited you're going to try it out, and we would love the feedback! At the current time, we don't have any option for omitting the social aspect. We've been laser-focused on creating an addictingly social experience that drives users back into the app in order to push them harder and further than they would alone.
With that said, we do know that some runners enjoy solo running more, so we are working on future features to track your solo runs so you can still earn upgradeable medals for weekly/monthly/overall mileage tracked in the app.
We do offer an On-Demand option if you'd like to see what it's like on your own!
If you're someone who prefers running by themselves, this may be the best of both worlds. You can see what a live run would be like, without needing to think about the live aspect.
