If Spotify, Netflix and Silicon Valley had a baby, they'd name it Running Stories – the world's first app that guides, monitors and entertains runners, by turning their running routes into the stage for gripping stories using live data.

​

Problem:
despite the health benefits, running can be boring. Between traditional fitness apps and storytelling platforms, we saw an opportunity to motivate runners (new and experienced alike) by entertaining them.

​

The Idea:   
Running stories is an audio augmented reality app that turns runs into immersive experiences. 

How it works:  
Augmented audio enhances your surroundings by sourcing live data from open APIs to create a story designed to enter-train you. The app uses your live location data, weather, your running speed and more to make you the main character in the story.
