End of an era - no more money for running

End of an era - no more money for running

  July 04, 2017   2 comments :

Roughly 3 years ago I wrote a small post on the RunKeeper blog about how one can earn real money with running. More than a year later, I wrote another follow-up post on this blog, when I reached a serious milestone, and checked out $480 for running and eating healthy stuff. I mainly used 3 apps to achieve this, and now I'm sad to report, that all of them seems to be over.

The House Cup of the Hogwarts Running Club is a ton of fun, as I have already mentioned in my previous post. The Headmistresses of HRC publish a "Miles Monday" post at the beginning of each week about the current state of the "competition".

However, after my Harry Potter Marathon I was surfing on facebook, and I ended up at the page of the Hogwarts Running Club.

More than a year ago I wrote a post on the “Beyond the miles” blog about how one can earn real money by running / cycling / etc. I've been using Pact (formerly GymPact), FitCrown, and AchieveMint for over two years now, and recently I've decided to check out the money I've earned this time.

 

On this occasion I thought, I'll summarize my experiences, so here they are. If You don't know, how these applications work, I suggest You to quickly scroll through my previous post first.
