Data Collection Event
Data on running activity was collected objectively by the participants through a GPS-watch or an application for Android- or iOS-based smartphones. Subsequently, the data was uploaded manually to an Internet-based training diary (http://www.mit-loebeprogram.dk, Help2Run, Hornslet, Denmark) through automatically generated e-mails send out on daily basis by the system. As soon as the data was uploaded, it was accessible for the researchers and thus enabled for continuous surveillance of all runners.
