Here at Runner’s World, we love a romantic gesture. From finish-line and parkrun proposals to runners who have met at the start line, we've heard a lot of running love stories over the years.
One we loved from last weekend was the man who tried to write ‘LOVE’ in Strava art, having been inspired by runners who have used the platform to draw GPS images.
Unfortunately, the artwork didn’t quite turn out as expected, with the man's daughter sharing a screenshot of the walk on her TikTok. In the caption, his daughter explained, 'My dad was trying to write Love on Strava for Valentine's Day.'
What everyone's reading
People have found the man's efforts hilarious, with the TikTok video racking up 53.2K views since it was posted and hundreds of viewers commenting on the video. One person wrote, ‘So cute, though’; another wrote, ‘I see no problem, a perfect translation of love.’
Serious kudos for trying and it’s worth bearing in mind that not all art is appreciated at first. Or at all.
