Cheating Husband Caught Thanks To A Workout App

A woman found out, thanks to a workout app, that her military husband's routine solo runs weren't as solo as she thought.  He had a regular stop along the way for what turned out to be some extra cardio with a partner.

Megan McGee says she didn't think anything of her now ex-husband's workout routine until he called her up one day to tell her that he wanted a break.  The call for a break threw up red flags.

The red flags indicated to her that "something bigger must be going on."  In a video that she posted on TikTok, she detailed how she became an "FBI detective" in order to put together all the details surrounding her ex-husband's infidelity.

"I figured out my ex-husband was cheating on me through Strava," McGee said.  "Strava is a social media app where friends can follow each other and share their workouts with each other.  You can go on a run, a swim or a hike and post it to your Strava, and it will share with all of your Strava friends."

The app shares your map with the people who are following you.  So the start and finish of your runs, as well as the route you take, for instance, are shared with your followers.  This turned out to be the missing piece that helped put it all together for McGee.

"When he first came home from deployment he wasn't really going in to work himself a lot, so there were a lot of days he would go on runs on his own, that I would stay home and would work at home," she explained.

"Looking back, I even remember there being times where I offered to go on runs with him, and he would make up some excuse about how he was going to run too far for me, I wouldn't be able to keep up."

To All The Cheaters Out There, Your Apps Are Spying On You And Aren't Your Friend

McGee was searching high and low for anything she could find.  The red flag turned into a gut feeling, and she was stopping at nothing to find what she was looking for.

She found bits and pieces of evidence that he was cheating from different sources, but the "cherry on top" as she describes it ended up being the workout app.

"What I ended up finding through the Strava running maps was that he would start his 'run' at our house, and he would end it at her house," she revealed.  "She lived probably a half of a mile away."

McGee added, "So while this didn't tell me the whole story.  It sure gave me a lot of reassurance about who he was cheating on me with and what he was doing all those times he was gone."

McGee told the NY Post that the woman her husband had been caught cheating with was also in the Army and that the two of them had been deployed together.

She added, "I studied his running map on the Strava workout app and realized that he ran past, paused around, or ended at an address where a fellow Army girl lived."

It's hard out there for the modern day cheater.  The person you're cheating with, and a select few with knowledge of your affair, are no longer the only ways in which you can get busted.

There are now apps out there telling on you as well.  Good luck having your workout within a workout fly under the radar.
