Writing notebooks that explore Runkeeper

[gedankenstuecke]

-

Runkeeper allows people to track their runs and workouts - along with GPS
information. Right now around 200 people have connected their Runkeeper
accounts to Open Humans (see some of the public data sets here).

Here are some ideas for notebooks that use Runkeeper data:

• Basic ideas:
  • generate basic statistics of the data (yearly distance run? Minutes spent working out)
  • visualize the GPS tracks so that people can "re-run" their experiences (ggplot2 for R makes this rather easy, but any other language works too!)
  • advanced: Use the GPS data to get weather information from some 3rd party API and try to correlate if the workout frequency etc. is tied to the weather
