When you train for a long-distance race<\/a>, it\u2019s easy to forget the real goal of the run: That sweet, sweet feeling of crossing the finish line. After all, you likely spent weeks prepping your body, improving your diet and religiously following a training plan<\/a>, all in an effort to feel your best on race day. And there\u2019s no greater reminder of that exact accomplishment than that epic finish line photo.<\/p>\n

Which is precisely\u00a0why the above shot, shared by our friends<\/a> at RunDisney, is our #MondayMotivation for the week. This finisher photo is the embodiment of what it feels like to achieve greatness \u2014 and that’s\u00a0just\u00a0what this wheelchair participant did.<\/p>\n

Even more exciting: Now\u00a0wheelchair\u00a0athletes\u00a0can follow their training progress thanks to the launch of FreeWheel<\/a>, a new tracker designed by Chaotic Moon Studios<\/a>. Unlike other fitness trackers, the FreeWheel takes into account factors unique to wheelchairs, like the muscles needed to move the chair and the condition of the road or path. More specifically, FreeWheel has a barometer, a gyroscope and an accelerometer to measure speed, acceleration, distance, altitude, incline and decline. Bluetooth transmits the data to a corresponding app and can sync with data from other devices, such as heart-rate monitoring wearables like the FitBit Charge HR.<\/p>\n
