Synchronized

It should be absolutely normal, current and safe. But all you have to do is take a look at the news to see that it isn't. That we still can't go out into the street with peace of mind, because there are those who believe they have the power to decide what they want to do with us.

Laura Luelmo, the 26-year-old teacher who was found dead yesterday with signs of violence, went out to play sports. And she didn't come back. One in three women say they have suffered some type of attack when going out for a run Nine out of ten feel insecure when they go out to play sports, because they fear being victims of violations or robberies.According to a study by Runners World Magazine.

That's why Synchronized was born. It is an application developed by the energy company EDP, which is nothing more than a web platform to unite all those women who want to go running in a group In addition to being a very good formula to feel more confident when doing sports, it is also a great option to promote women's sports. According to this same study, 44% of women feel safer if they run with someone else.

Synchronized, a platform to go running together

Women have shown that we are together in many things. And in this last year we have known how to unite in all the causes that we have proposed. To go running together, women who now want to do it with others, can access the recently released platform EDP: Synchronized.

Logging in is very easy and, in fact, you can use your social media accounts (Facebook and Twitter). Next, you will have to complete your profile, indicating the name or alias, your city, your profile as a runner (beginner, intermediate or advanced), your times and your preferred hours and days for training.

From there, you can immerse yourself in the world of Synchronized Something you should keep in mind is that at the moment there is no application for the platform, so that every time you want to access, you will have to do it through www.sincronizadas.com.

Find other women to run with and hang out with

Once you have configured your runner profile, you will be able to access your related meetings. Within the same page, you have a fuchsia button that reads Access your related meetings From here you can create your own meetings or find others that are of interest, close to you.

If you like one and it fits your schedule, you can enter inside and press the Join Inside the meeting you will see that a meeting point is indicated, to which you will all have to go to start running together. You may have thought seriously about security at this point.

To avoid scares, EDP has also published a series of tips for running more safely. It is important to keep in mind that you must always be identified, with your documentation on you, and report any type of sexist behavior that you experience in first person or witness.

And before you go for a run, remember…

• It is not recommended to go running with headphones and loud music in urban areas.This can make it difficult to recognize any circumstance. If you really like running with music, you can use just one earphone and listen to it at a moderate volume.
• If you run at night, wear appropriate clothing,in which you can be seen in the dark. It's important to both you and drivers driving at night or early in the morning.
• Always carry your mobile phone,charged and reachable, if possible in an arm band.
• Share with your loved ones your location via WhatsApp. In this way, you will always be locatable via GPS.
