"Walk to Mordor: Ditch Your Fitness Tracker and Embrace the Journey"

After experiencing a fitness slump and feeling pressured by fitness culture, a tech reviewer found solace in the Fantasy Hike app, which turns walking and running into a quest to Mount Fire, a fictional destination akin to Mordor. The app uses health data to track progress and allows users to compete against copyright-friendly fantasy heroes. This low-stakes, fun approach has helped the reviewer shift their mindset, focus less on lost speed, and enjoy the process of running again.
