Hi all,
just getting back in to running and using mapmyrun to log for me. I'm doing 5-10k at the moment and I'm looking for friends to add as its quite motivating to see others completing their runs.
I live in Surrey, 46 years old and My user name is Twincle1970
Unless of course mapmyrun is so last year and their is a more popular app to use?

Strava is better if you want to see other people, I don't think its too odd for people who don't know each other to follow each other on Strava. Its something that strava encouarges by suggesting people who you should follow.
Thanks guys, lol np with adding strangers on specialist sites. I've 70 'friends' on myfitnesspal I've never met before I'm surprised its so hard to add 'buddies' on mmr, will d/l strava later
I have used Strava for about five months now, it's amazing. I'm quite lucky that there are quite a lot of runners in work, including some crazy ultra runners and iron man competitors.
There are also some professional athletes on Strava who you can follow...

It's also got a segments feature which is really great. You can either create your own or find a segment that has been created by another user and compare times.
As part of this research I am conducting online interviews and I am looking for English speakers (16+) to take part. These can either be on via email, an online chat platform, video or telephone depending on your preference. 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!
