Hey Product Hunt Community 👋
I’m David and I’m the creator of Naked Run Club 🍌.
I’ve been running for a few years and I always kept track of my progress with my Apple Watch. Mostly Nike Run Club but I’ve also had a go at Runtastic and Apple Workouts.
At some point last year I realised that I got more and more obsessed with my running live data. Around the same time running became a lot less fun and felt more like a chore. This was bad. The streets and trails that were my playground became a dull uninspiring place. I had to do something to bring back the fun.
So I started to run without my watch and soon the fun was back. Ignorance is bliss they say, and to some degree that is definitely true for running. Not knowing anything and just having fun out there is just great.
But there was something missing. While my running metrics became an issue during my runs their non existence were a bit of a let down afterwards. It can be really rewarding (and insightful) to chill on your sofa after a long run and look at the numbers that prove what you have just achieved.
I needed a solution for that problem but couldn’t find what I need. So I thought I’d try to fix it myself. How hard can it be? Famous last words.
After a few weeks of playing around with Apple Watch development I got myself a little standalone running app that doesn’t show you any data while you run and tracks your key metrics in the background.
All you can see are the words JUST RUN and a motivational Banana to keep you going. All data is stored in Apple Health so you can check your running stats after your run in Apple Health and Apple Fitness.
⏱️ Track running time, distance, heart rate & energy burned
⏯️ Pause & resume your run by pressing the Digital Crown and Side Button simultaneously
❤️ Works with Apple Health
🎶 Control your music within the app
Would be cool if this little app can help more people to bring back the fun to their running workouts.
@david_pfluegl1 Congrats on the launch, I'm very sorry I thought it was a club for naked runners. In an increasingly intelligent and social era, we have indeed gradually moved away from the essence of running and sports, good job on Naked Run Club
Hi! Great job on getting Naked on PH! It looks awesome! I've just got questions. What inspired you to create it? Maybe in future you will about supporting by Nike?
@olga_neudakh Thanks Olga! The main inspiration to create Naked Run Club was trying to run without any device that tells me my pace, distance or heart rate. It was a lot more fun just being out there and doing whatever feels right. At the same time I like to see what I’ve done after my runs so I was in a position of not wanting and wanting a tracking device for my runs. As I already had an Apple Watch I thought I might try to create something that fits my needs. Using Naked Run Club on all my runs for the last few weeks it proved to deliver what I needed.
Partnerships with major brands could be a great way to get more people into naked running.
