About us

Welcome to a space where passion for running, cycling, and the sheer joy of moving propels us forward. I’m Hayden Rees, your guide through the evolving landscape of fitness technology. With a background steeped in the exhilaration of the open road and the camaraderie of the trail, I’ve turned my love for endurance sports into a mission to explore, analyze, and share the tools that make our pursuits more enjoyable and rewarding.

As someone who laces up the running shoes and clips into the bike pedals with equal fervor, I’ve navigated the digital maze of apps and gadgets designed to enhance our fitness journeys. From the intricacies of app features to the motivational surge of joining a community challenge, my goal is to illuminate the paths less traveled and the technologies that guide us.

The digital companions we choose for our workouts can be as personal and varied as the routes we run or cycle. Whether it’s comparing the detailed analytics of MapMyRide with the robust community of Strava or embracing the structured tranquility of a Nike Run Club training plan, each platform offers its unique blend of inspiration and insight. My reviews and comparisons aim to peel back the layers, offering you a clear view of what each service brings to your training table.

But it’s not just about the solo experience. The power of community, as seen through platforms like Runtastic (Adidas Running), transforms solitary runs and rides into shared adventures. The encouragement of a virtual cheer or the shared struggle of a global challenge can be the wind at your back, pushing you toward your next personal best. And in the wake of services like Endomondo winding down, I’m here to navigate the sea of alternatives, ensuring you’re never left without a digital training partner.

For those intrigued by the data and performance side of things, the exploration doesn’t stop at mainstream apps. Tools like GoldenCheetah offer a deep dive into the analytics of performance, bringing a scientific lens to your training regimen. It’s about more than just numbers; it’s about understanding the story they tell and how we can write our next chapter to be stronger, faster, and more resilient.

This blog is a testament to the belief that with the right tools, advice, and community, anyone can unlock their fitness potential. Welcome to your next level of fitness. Welcome to a world where every stride and spin is a step toward a better, healthier you. I’m Hayden Rees, and this is your invitation to move, explore, and connect
