<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Call it a shameless plug if you will, but I truly believe this can be helpful to the r/GetMotivated community.  

I use the term "my new app" losely, as I was merely a second/third/fourth opinion and sort of "consultant" during the development.  I receive zero money from this app (which is free, anyways.)  I just want to get it into as many hands as possible because I am a frequent user myself and I know that it helps me show up for runs that I would have otherwise skipped.

To describe it in a nutshell, RunningClub is a digital version of a real life running club.  It functions much like a social network in the you have a personal profile, can connect with friends and can invite said friends to an "activity" that you create.  Of course, you can also join existing activities.  

Once you're in the activity, you can let the app run in the background while you workout.  It will log your distance and time in real-time, much like the GPS in your car.  The difference is that you and the other "racers" are all depicted on the screen as different colored dots.  This way you can watch as you pass and/or get passed by others.  Your iPhone will vibrate to let you know when such a thing happens, which can be a gentle nudge to make you push harder during a long run. 

That's the gist of it.  Obviously, I know enough about the app to answer any questions you may have.  I didn't see anything in the sidebar against sharing resources like this, but if I'm unknowingly breaking a rule, please alert a mod to remove this.  Also, this will be crossposted to other relevant subreddits just one time.  I'm not here to spam, but I am here to share a valuable resource with certain subcommunities.

Thanks in advance to anyone who downloads, shares, likes, follows, reviews in the app store, or otherwise supports this project I've been involved in.  The appropriate links are as follows...
