The article discusses the emergence of an app called 'Fake My Run', which allows users to fabricate running routes that appear genuine on fitness platforms like Strava. Developed by Amsterdam's Arthur Bouffard, the app caters to those looking to enhance their performance claims without actually running. Mixed reactions from social media highlight both amusement and disdain for this method of deceit. Critics argue it undermines personal integrity in fitness, while supporters enjoy the humorous aspect of the tool, suggesting it challenges the spirit of competition in fitness communities.
Fake My Run is the brainchild of Amsterdam-based developer, Arthur Bouffard, who was inspired after seeing a surge in Strava users paying 'mules' to run for them.
Strava mules have gone viral recently for charging 10-20$ to run for other people and improve their stats, which made me think there has to be an easier way.
