You can fool enemy military OS-INT and I can also avoid actually having to go for my afternoon run.
* Emulators and GPS spoofing (or just direct API calls to Strava) would be more practical, but this is way more hilarious.

@mikesiegel You’d need an associated smartphone on board to sync the data to the cloud but yeah that could work. Frankly Strava has an API so you could just synthesise GPX files and upload them to get the same effect.

@mikesiegel There is an extra level of dumb not reported in that story though. When you use a running app on a moving ship like that, the GPS-derived exercise stats it generates are beyond useless because they include the ship motion. I bet the Strava summary for that workout told him he had burned 20,000 calories or something ridiculous like that.
