A Short History of the Disney Marathon
The Walt Disney World Marathon has been
run every January since 1994. The course
threads through all four Disney parks -
Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, ESPN
Wide World of Sports, and a finish split
between Hollywood Studios and Epcot -
connected by Disney's internal service roads
and the I-4 overpasses that wind between
resorts.
Built an indoor-focused training app after getting frustrated with treadmill tracking - would love this sub's feedback
Long-time treadmill user here (training for ultras, lots of incline walking). Every running app I tried was built for outdoor GPS — treadmill workouts were a second-class citizen, manual entry only, no route feel, no real progression tracking.
So I built SummitRoom. It's web-based (works on any phone/tablet) and does a few things existing apps don't:
GPX route simulation — load a real route (Kilimanjaro, the Bruce Trail, whatever) and the app matches incline cues to elevation as you go
OCR for non-connected treadmills — point your phone at the console and it logs speed/distance/incline
Bluetooth HR + FTMS for treadmills that support it
VO₂ estimation from your sessions over time
Free tier is real (not a 7-day trial). Pro is a few bucks a month if you want unlimited routes.

Genuinely want feedback — what would make this more useful for how you train? What am I missing?
Looking for people to test my on-boarding demo
Making a treadmill tracking and interaction website and just updated my on-boarding with a detailed demo. Looking for honest feedback!

Please let me know if younsee any friction points :)
If you train on a treadmill with any kind of incline, you've probably noticed that most fitness apps just don't care about elevation. Strava, Garmin, all of them are built around GPS - the moment you step inside, you're a second-class citizen.
I built SummitRoom specifically for this gap. It tracks incline, speed, and duration to calculate real elevation gain from your treadmill sessions. Structured intervals, workout history, weekly elevation goals - all the stuff that actually matters for indoor training.
It's a web app so there's nothing to install, works on any device, and it's free to start.
