Hi, I am a postgraduate student at the University of Liverpool, and I am conducting research as part of my postgraduate dissertation. The aim of this research is to understand how understandings of health and fitness are impacted by the social interaction on MapMyRun. I aim to address this question through researching the social surveillance on MapMyRun and the perceived impacts of this, the role the app plays in understandings of health and fitness and the motivations behind making use of MapMyRun’s ability to share data on other forms of social media.
As part of this research I am conducting online interviews and I am looking for English speakers (16+) to take part. Depending on your preference these can either be via email, chat platform, video or phone. The interviews should not take more than half an hour. If you would like to volunteer to take part, please could you email me on sgofletc@liverpool.ac.uk and I will be in contact to arrange an interview. Thank you! :)
First post on Runner's World. I'm hoping to ask the forum a question soon regarding marathon training. Wonder how many posts I have to do before I can ask a question???

> Also, I was appalled that I was forced to agree receiving emails fro Business partner to be able to sign up
I didn't like that either! I'm now struggling to find things to post on without annoying people so that I can eventually post my own threads!
