Wandrer helped gamify my running, and I think I prefer it to Strava

Writer Jessica's Wandrer miles.

I am the farthest thing from a gamer but when I found out about a game that rewards you for running new miles around the world, I got pretty excited. I noticed a fellow journalist had some funky looking stats below his Strava activities and that’s when he introduced me to an awesome platform called Wandrer.

The aim of the game is to cycle, run or walk as many different streets and routes as possible and in return for conquering new roads, you receive points. For those who like a bit of friendly competition, you can opt in to see where you score on the game's overall leaderboard and view other athletes’ progress and position on the Wandrer website.
