RUNKEEPER seems to have now done it – installed live tracking so joggers can stream what McLaren F1 now streams!
On Sunday, I ran the Silverstone Half Marathon. The RunKeeper profile this generated at the end is staggeringly fascinating for running geeks like me. And those who like to see wiggly maps of F1 GP circuits (like me again, then).
What I was trying to do, though, was let people watch my run live. When I started, they would see my GPS plot, and then track my pained progress as I hobbled around the course.
Alas, the functionality wasn’t quite there: the report was only generated once I’d finished.
Would you believe, 2 days later, RunKeeper launches this exact facility! This video explains all: more briefly though, it basically does what the genius McLaren dashboard does.
Sure, my runs are waaaay less interesting than a F1 car in action – but it’s still a really cool feature that YOU can integrate into YOUR fitness schedule.
So, if you were wowed by the McLaren F1 dashboard over the weekend, now’s your opportunity to do the same. Next event I run, I’ll be sure to try it out…
