Mythic History
A deep dive into our origins, philosophy, and the mind behind the magic.
Our Origin Story
It began not in a boardroom or a gym, but on a foggy trail with an electronic playlist and a buzzing mountain bike.
As a lifelong nerd and unapologetic fitness enthusiast, I always felt that my workouts should reflect me — not just another “Afternoon Ride.” I started crafting fantasy-themed names for my Strava activities, inspired by dungeons, magic, and second breakfasts.
Friends noticed. Then colleagues. Then complete strangers. They loved it — but they didn’t want my themes. They wanted theirs. Sci-fi purists, anime lovers, cinephiles, and even chaos gremlins who just wanted to mock their own lack of speed.
So I started to expand the platform — building something modular, playful, and personal. What started as a niche inside joke has evolved into a living library of mythic flair and genre-driven expression. Whether you’re grinding out a tempo run like a Mandalorian bounty hunter or spinning your wheels through Hyrule, we are here to turn your sweat into a saga. Because workouts shouldn’t just be tracked — they should be told. Welcome to Mythic Miles.
Philosophy & Purpose
The world has enough bland dashboards and soulless training logs. We believe your workouts deserve a story. Mythic Miles exists to make your workouts feel like you.
We believe that every step, spin, lift, or trek can be a story. Whether you’re chasing a dragon through the mountains, escaping a spaceport after leg day, or simply jogging to the corner store like it’s a stealth mission — your activity deserves a voice that resonates.
We chose the name Mythic Miles as a nod to the legendary tier of loot in gaming — the rare, powerful rewards you only earn through grit, luck, and persistence. In that spirit, every mile you move isn’t just a number; it’s a badge of honor. Like mythic items, your workouts tell stories of challenge and triumph, personal epics shaped by effort. This platform exists to help you celebrate those moments — with language as legendary as the journey itself.
Our goal? To blend fantasy and fitness, humor and heart, into a platform that champions your individuality. This is a place for everyone: the try-hards, the comeback kids, the weekend warriors, and everyone who's just showing up. This is your quest. We don’t care how fast you go. We care that you’re in the story.
Meet the Architect
Little is known about the mind behind Mythic Miles. Whispers across the universe speak of a figure known only as Veilstride — a code-weaver and loremaster who drifts between realms of fantasy and firmware.
Some say he once trained as a paladin, others claim he runs sub-seven-minute miles while composing haikus about boss battles. What is known: Veilstride channels a lifelong love of gaming, workout tracking, and storytelling into a project that empowers others to tell their own tales.
As for why he remains unseen? As Veilstride himself once put it:
“The world needs fewer influencers and more enchanters.”
