"It can be a lot sometimes, realizing you’ve got 60,000 people following your every move and a little bit scary sometimes when people start tracking that,”
Seidel liked sharing her training on the internet but realized there are privacy concerns and hasn't been sharing the last month. Full details in our recap of the media day today
It would be fascinating to cross reference her Strava creepers with obsessive LRC posters.
Grabbing my popcorn to prepare for a bunch of victim blaming response!
What a messed up world we live in
You mean “because of creeps on letsrun.”
seriously. Every time there’s a thread about her here, a bunch of boys purport to know exactly what she’s thinking and what she needs to do. Good for her. The trolls here can be a nasty distraction.
Molly was not your typical girl growing up. While her peers were flooding social media, she barely had one. Never one in it for the image. She was a hard working runner/xc ski type. The type that is truly admirable and that all of you young guys should try and seek out in your prospective mates. Similar to the wholesome dairy farm children types (like Elle) and their upbringing.
I kind of knew from afar that social media and the attention could be a bit of an issue for her. She is sort of like 4-5 years old, picking up social media for the first time and yet trapped inside a 26-27 year old famous Olympian's body. She was very, very quiet and softspoken when younger. So it is a lot different.
et tu, wejo?

I think we all know a Seattle poster who has asked about dating through Strava.
Creepy? Yes
Unexpected? No
I’m unfamiliar with strava…I get what it’s purpose is, but does it’s essentially show your followers the location of where you ran or are running?
if so, that’s pretty much inviting creeps in.
I never understood why anyone would post on strava their routes. Of course you can see where people live.

I think most people can relate. I’m like 10 levels if celebrity below her and I don’t want random people knowing where I live.
She's a minor celebrity, she had her face on national tv during the trials and olympics.
If she was a random runner with a few hundred followers it would probably not be an issue.
The fact is she has a large following and if putting out her location for everyone to see, she is inviting the possibility unwanted guests.. sheer numbers, most people wouldn't have any ill intentions but with 60k followers or whatever she has, the odds go up that you might find a few with bad intentions
there would probably be a bit of overlap tbh. sadly.
Those "creeps" are just the AIU testers tracking her location for the next unannounced drug test since USADA is so incompetent and corrupt.
Then it’s difficult for me to imagine how someone uses strava and doesn’t realize the potential to be stalked.
Poor girl. I remember a time when people didn't need to broadcast every single run they did via the internet.

There is an option to hide the start and end of each run. It probably isn't good enough, though, if you live outside an urban area.
She's still sharing all her runs on strava as far as I can tell. I don't get the thread title maybe?
There are easier ways to figure out where someone lives than Strava. Especially if they own their home or are registered to vote.
