<![CDATA[This is really cool.]]>This is really cool.

I love using technology in all my hobbies, and when it comes to running, tech-driven gear is especially motivating. I enjoy exploring new routes, but sketching them by hand is tricky for a busy person and awkward to do on a phone.

Now my PT bot can analyze the areas I've already run and create new routes automatically using AI, Strava, and GraphHopper. All I need to do is upload the GPX file to WorkOutDoors or Runna on my watch and head out to conquer new paths...

I've done so many cool things over the past few months, quietly and without sharing much.

I have less and less time to draw routes, and this works exactly like it would with Squadrats. I often draw a familiar route in my city to the point where there are more unfamiliar routes. This does the exact same thing without me having to spend time on it. But I often change the route while running. This is just pre-planning and guidelines. Each to their own. For me, part of the fun is the mystery, and this adds to the fun, not lessens it.

Sitting down with a map (paper or digital) and thinking about the different possible paths is part of the ā€œadventureā€ - maybe also looking up some information or reading up on a post from some one else.

Sometimes I donā€™t even have to create a GPX file and send it to the watch. Just from spending some time looking at the map I can often remember the area and route I came up with.

The auto routing would definitely remove a lot of the fun for me.
