What are the risks of using running apps?

In case you haven’t noticed, running is very much in vogue these days. We talked about the London Marathon on Do You Really Know last month, but you don’t have to out yourself through the ordeal of a 26-mile distance to enjoy running. It can just as easily be a 20 or 30 minute jog in the park, or in the streets of your local area. And of course as with any trend in society, the running boom has gained significant traction on social media. People love sharing their progress on mainstream socials, as well as through dedicated running apps like Adidas Running, Nike Run Club, or Strava. What do you mean by that? Most of us aren’t heads of state or secret service agents though, are we? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
