The Problem: GPS Gets It Wrong
Every Saturday morning, millions of runners gather at parkruns worldwide. You complete your 5K, tap your barcode, and head home feeling accomplished.
But when you check Strava, something's off:
- ❌ Wrong time — GPS says 24:35, but your official chip time was 24:12
- ❌ Wrong distance — Shows 5.1km because you started your watch late
- ❌ No position — Where did you actually finish?
- ❌ No age grade — How does your time compare to your age group?
- ❌ PB ignored — You ran a personal best but Strava doesn't know
The Magic: FitGlue Knows It's Parkrun
FitGlue automatically detects when your Saturday morning run is a parkrun—using GPS location and time matching against 2,500+ worldwide parkrun venues. Then it fetches your official results and transforms your activity.
✨ What FitGlue Creates
- ✅ Automatic Detection — GPS location matches to parkrun venues
- ✅ Smart Title — "Parkrun @ Newark" instead of "Morning Run"
- ✅ Official Time — The chip time, not GPS estimate
- ✅ Position — Where you finished (e.g., 45/312)
- ✅ Age Grade — Your performance percentage
- ✅ PB Celebration — 🎉 NEW PB! when you beat your best
- ✅ Weather Conditions — What was the weather like?
