Very nice, congratulations on your launch! As a lifelong runner I go through phases where I want to train for a specific race, and phases where I just want to go out and enjoy the experience without worrying about speed or distance.

This app seems to address a need somewhere in the middle...you want metrics, accountability, and ostensibly, to get better at running. But you aren't training for a specific distance, and you aren't just wanting to get out for a casual jog.

Basically, I really want to try this out (and I will!), but I don't see myself as a long-time user of it. Unless the community aspect really does something for me that I'm not anticipating.

Great points. Ideally, we want to target all three phases.

When training for a race, we want to offer classes that fit well into your training schedule. When you're not training and just going out for a fun run, we want to offer the most engaging experience out there.

We're still early, but that's our thought process
