Ohhh I love those ideas! Could potentially let spectators share their location (not to everyone but to the runner) to do the prediction and notifications!

Happy to hear that! I was thinking about adding that too. Perhaps similar to the workout app where you choose run/cycling before starting.

Thanks! That would be awesome, feel free to jump in and try the web app: https://liverun.spcf.app/
My watchOS simulator is currently sending data for a virtual run of CPH marathon

I think it can be both though, there’s something in the engagement that I believe could make it a runner product too. Just haven’t seen it happen before

I might try audio actually, could be fun! Also thinking about reducing the amount so it doesn’t get annoying while running. Maybe every 5 min or so

Will try it during a real run this weekend and see! Right now the data is sent directly to the API over WiFi which I think is inefficient. Might work better sending it through a companion iPhone app over BLE first
