Field notes
Setup asks runners to choose a partner, friend or family member, or solo route, then select a cartoon runner. The page describes GPS tracking and weekly goals that unlock chapters; its paired Verona story brings runners together on a real map. It says a partner sees only a first name and weekly minutes, while solo-run “receipts” are worked out on the iPhone from the runner’s own workouts.
