🧙♂️ FAQ & Beginner Guide – Mythic Miles
What is Mythic Miles?
Mythic Miles is a fantasy-themed fitness platform that transforms your running, biking, and other workouts into epic stories. We automatically rename your activities with humor, flair, or genre-inspired titles using AI and contextual data like weather or recovery status. Every mile becomes part of your legend.
🎯 What are the main goals of Mythic Miles?
- To make fitness more fun, creative, and narrative-driven
- To enhance your Strava activity feed with personalized, automatic naming
- To offer bonus context like weather summaries, recovery data, and gear logic

⚙️ How do I choose my Tone and Genre?
From the dashboard:
- Choose a Tone (e.g., praise, roast, neutral).
- Select up to 3 Genres/Franchises within that theme (e.g., Lord of the Rings, Star Wars).
- Your renames will now reflect this configuration.
🪄 How does auto-renaming work?
- When Strava notifies us of a new activity, we check your settings.
- If your workout title is default (e.g., "Afternoon Run"), we generate a new name.
- We update the title (and optional description) on your behalf via the Strava API.
🌦️ What is Weather-Infused Renaming?
For paid users, we upload the weather at the time and location of your activity. If enabled, this can influence your rename (e.g., "Stormstrider’s Quest" for rainy runs).
