Tech in 26.2

You most probably have heard the saying that you only need a pair or shoes and clothes to get into running. It's very true as you get into running. However, if you look closer to a runner’s journey there is more to it than a pair of shoes and clothes. Once you pick up running and start to see the value in it; the next logical step is to run your first race. And say that you signed up for your first 5K, you will start training for the race. In the process you may seek help from a coach or join a local or virtual running community. Depending on the size of the race; race organizers will put their best effort to create an unforgettable race day experience for you. And before you even notice, you will find yourself running marathons, Triathlons or Ultramarathons. This is exactly how my running journey has evolved, started my running journey with a local Turkey Trot (a 5K race), and not long after started chasing the World Marathon Majors.

Now for all the experiences from signing up to training for a race, getting personalized coaching, connecting with running community, timing races, real time race results or post race recovery, there are some amazing technologies used to create that unforgettable experience. As a technologist, my curiosity led me to explore what those technologies are, how they came into being and which in turn led me to sit down with some of the pioneers, leaders and entrepreneurs who paved the way for endurance tech industry and innovating for tomorrow. I am very excited to bring you the next podcast on Traxamo.

Welcome to Tech in 26.2 podcast where I explore the technologies that enables the athletes, the organizers and the communities to create those experiences. So buckle up and join me on this journey as I deep dive into learning about the technologies and companies, their founding stories, finding product market fit, scaling of those companies/technologies and also where they are heading in the age of AI.
