Keep a photo and a few words with your run
Add photos and notes to an AimiRun run record, keep memories beyond the route, check that changes are saved, and choose photos for a sharing image.
Months after a run, the distance and duration are still there. But you may have forgotten what you saw, why you headed out, or how you felt afterward.
AimiRun's post-run check-in lets you add photos and notes to a run record. The route keeps track of where you went; a picture and a few words help you remember the day.
Open a saved run and add photos or text in the check-in area. They belong to that record and do not need to be shared to matter. When you do want to share, review the available photo options and the actual sharing-image preview.
Start with a saved run
After finishing and saving a run, open its details and find the check-in area. If the record is still saving, the page asks you to wait. Edit it once it is ready.
You do not need many photos or words. Leave just a sentence, or add a photo with a brief reflection.
For example:
I ran along the river today and watched the sky gradually brighten near the end.
Or:
I didn't feel like going out at first. Afterward, I was glad I'd started.
The note does not need to explain all the workout data. A specific memory you can recognise later is enough.
Photos keep the scene; words add the reason
A photo can capture a view beside the path, a group picture after the run, or a moment you want to remember. Tap to add a photo and follow the camera prompts, granting camera permission when needed.
A run record currently supports up to six check-in photos. You do not need to fill every slot. One or two pictures that represent the run are enough.
Text adds what the photo cannot show: why you chose the route, how a section felt, or what you might do differently next time.
| What you want to keep | How to record it |
|---|---|
| The scene that day | A photo and a sentence about what you saw |
| How the workout felt | Note the easy, difficult, or unexpected parts |
| Something for next time | Keep a route idea or a question to discuss |
Check that your additions were saved
Photos need to upload, and text changes need to be saved. Watch the status and error messages after editing. A picture appearing in the editor is not necessarily an already uploaded image.
If something goes wrong, follow the page's instructions, then return to the record to confirm the content. You do not need to create another run just to add a check-in.
A reflection can be more useful than a slogan. “I walked two extra sections in the second half and want to discuss the next workout with Aimi” can remind you to return to that conversation. Writing it in the check-in does not automatically adjust the training plan.
Choose a picture when you want to share
In supported sharing editors, check-in photos can be selected as the background for a sharing image. Review the actual preview before choosing a picture and the workout information to include.
A picture shows the scene; route replay shows how the route unfolded. Choose what fits the memory you want to keep. You do not need a complete sharing package after every run.
Before sharing, check whether the photo includes people or places you prefer to keep private, as well as any dates and route information in the image. Your run record can stay just for you.
Record a thought before the run ends
If a reflection comes to mind during the run and typing is inconvenient, use a voice memo to keep your words first. Listen afterward and decide whether to turn them into a check-in note.
Photos, text, and voice are different ways to record a moment. You do not need to use all of them every time. Choose whichever is easiest at the time.
Keep more than an average
A post-run check-in does not need to be a diary, and every run does not need a special story. After your next workout, try saving a picture or a sentence that means something to you.
When you open the record later, you can remember not only how much you ran, but what that day was like.
