I used to be a marathoner, having logged over 10 thousand and some kilometers across various fitness apps. I'd led a few clinics and very much enjoy the running world. The running community sorely needs connectivity solutions like this imo. Especially with Covid, most communities have seen local running groups halt and essentially disperse. Strava is still strong however, and Zwift running is the closest thing I seem to use for building connections live with other runners. Something is still needed to make the experience more personable though in this space. I wish you and your team the very best of luck.

This is exactly it. I love Strava, however, if I want to feel like i'm connected with people. I'm definitely not a marathoner, and I'm someone who needs the motivation to put on my shoes in the morning.

Knowing that a coach is going to guide me, and that they see I'm signed up is great, but knowing that there's other people running at the same time make it even better.

Thank you very much for the kind words!
