Running Hobo
What if we made a running app for runners?
2016 / Personal project / product design / visual design
I was frustrated with running apps becoming increasingly complex, heavy and slow. So I went back to the basics and focused on the things I actually cared about as a runner. Simple, light and fun.
Go with the flow
Running can be physical and strangely meditative at the same time. During a run, the interface stays out of the way and shows only what matters at a glance: distance, pace and calories. When it's over, you can review the run and share it if you want to.
Performance map
The route becomes a performance map. Color shows where the run was stronger or weaker, making it easy to understand your effort without digging through more data. The scale adapts to the runner's fitness level, so the goal still feels achievable.
