They can start looking at how fast, how far, how high you run, what your breaks are, how many rests you have and compare that across their subscribers. Even if they don't ask subscribers about injuries, they can infer them (sudden drop off, changes in speed, or slow ramp back up on distance) and then use that to give you red flags if you're overdoing it. I'm amazed that someone hasn't plugged in the 10% increase per week rule into Strava to warn you when you're ramping up too much.<br /><br />Not that that other stuff you talked about isn't interesting - I just hope that we don't take too much of the randomness out of running in the way that GPS watches have already.Zirionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190344848960119957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1018178437520546552013-09-27T13:41:03.081-07:002013-09-27T13:41:03.081-07:00Yes, I referred to the Quantified Self in the pres...Yes, I referred to the Quantified Self in the presentation. But I had a lot of things in here that weren't logging of personal data (displays, recovery devices, etc.) so it wasn't quite the right term to capture everything. Plus I see infonautics being much broader than the quantified self - place, environment, proximity, etc. - there is a lot more that can be brought into the exploration.<br /><br />But thanks for the anonymous comment!Scott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-86098173803230518762013-09-27T12:18:46.854-07:002013-09-27T12:18:46.854-07:00There is already a word for what you're descri...There is already a word for what you're describing coined a long time ago - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantified_Self<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-25901032402647563102013-09-27T11:27:29.792-07:002013-09-27T11:27:29.792-07:00Scott, great to meet you last night and really int...Scott, great to meet you last night and really interesting presentation. I'm looking forward to someday slipping on some cooling gloves at an aid station, with biofeedback being presented back to me by my visor while a drone films it all from above!<br />See you on the trails, and Go Ducks!Sean Grovehttps://twitter.com/SFBayDucknoreply@blogger.com
