Or don't post them publicly at all? Cuz it's a good way to get a stalker on your route 😬

Better yet, turn off that function. Iv heard about men using the apps to track women on their runs and harass them everywhere.

Don’t post your runs publicly. Why would you do that? I don’t understand the urge. I like to map them but keep them private.

I'm doing a 100 mile running challenge for a domestic abuse charity this month and this has been a massive concern for me. In this case, posting runs publicly is kinda necessary for proof if you've been fundraising, but there are ways to do it safely (for example, make your runs private on Strava, screenshot and crop out the map so it only shows the statistics, post to social media). There were DV survivors on the group doing the challenge saying their ex had moved closer to them recently and it really worries me that there may be some people who don't consider this. Please stay safe!

Needed to see this like 5 years ago.... I was in college and in one of my classes got assigned a partner project with a man who was definitely “off”. The teacher knew something was up with this man and probably put us together because I’m “nice” ugh. This man took being assigned as my partner for class as us having an actual connection/friendship and would repeatedly email me after the project was over. Based off small things I had said... like articles about bands he knew I listened to. Nothing too alarming but it definitely made me uncomfortable because we didn’t have a friendship. At the start of the project (before I had an idea of how strange this man was) I thought nothing of accepting his FB friend request. I was really into distance running at the time and posted MapMyRun screenshots on my wall every day. This man knew I smoked and thought it would be a nice surprise to wait in the woods with a blunt for us to smoke. He was genuinely surprised and disappointed when I was terrified by this and sprinted out of there. I felt like I couldn’t tell the teacher because I didn’t want to be a hypocrite and report him for “drugs” when I was doing the same thing... which is a regret of mine now that I look back. Deleted Facebook (and turned off all MapMyRun’s share features) off after that. Don’t post any parts of your route. And don’t post the times you typically run because that gives weird people an idea of when they can expect you.
