I got really bored of my fitness routine lately — gym, running, cycling… all of it started feeling repetitive, especially doing everything alone.

Tried a bunch of apps, but most of them just focus on tracking or social validation (likes, stats), not actually helping you connect with people nearby.

So I ended up building something for myself called LaceUp

I have added the following features:

see runners around you within ~2km (no identity revealed)
“capture” areas while running to make it feel a bit like a game
small community features like group chats + club leaderboards
generate routes from a simple prompt
optional AI voice coach while running

Long term, I want it to become a place where you can also discover fitness events like marathons, local runs, etc.

Not pushing it hard right now — just sharing what I’ve been working on.

Would genuinely like to know if this sounds useful or I’m just solving my own boredom.
