Experiences from a long run with a virtual personal trainer

In this paper, we report on our two-years experience with the commercial application Everywhere Run!, a mobile app that allows people to self monitor their running sessions and stay motivated in pursuing a wellbeing life-style. We consider a time interval of two-years, taking as breakpoint the first release of the application that improved the Virtual Personal Trainer presentation. The quantitative data we report comes from a remote logging of the app usage, while the qualitative data comes from the application reviews on the Google Play Store.
