People tend to post everything they do online, including their daily routines such as running or jogging. However, a report implies that people should stop posting their regular running routes online because stalkers will have easy access to it, allowing them to follow you without you even knowing it.
It also explained that some individuals tend to post their runs on several social media platforms. It becomes a habit since they will continue to share their same 5 kilometers route early in the morning, and in the same park or road. This habit could allow unknown people to memorize their daily locations when jogging or running, as well as their average pace.
Stalkers or attackers would have enough information about your daily run, allowing them to know your current and your next location. The writer who posted the threat explained that it is easy to spy a person living several thousand miles.
MapMyRun app is one of the applications that show people's workout history. Its "Explore tab," which is located in the main feed, can allow any person to stalk a random individual's profile and running route history. Selfies and other pictures are also posted on the app, enabling attackers and stalkers to identify their victims physically.
