And if you bothered reading my post I said the phone itself would still work just texting and apps shut down after 10km h...you must be the fastest jogger in history if this bothers you.
I couldn't find out how far it took to stop sober, but four feet more seems pretty minor. It makes me think that drunk driving should be a minor fine and texting should be criminal.

As for your idea about blocking apps, there are a lot of apps out there for running to either monitor or coach and it certainly isn't the fastest jogger in history that runs above 10 kmph. 15 kmph works out to a 40 minute 10 k which is a pretty decent amateur time. For the pros, Bolt hit 28 mph at top speed, although I doubt he uses any apps while running.
