Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not particularly related to a problem, I thought about the idea last night and considered pitching it here. During sporting I think I would be nice to hear every now and than some other stuff than your current stats.
Describe the solution you'd like Add a section in spoken messages to add random/motivational messages to be spoken during your activity. I think the best way is to add the strings yourself as some people are motivated by "You worthless piece of ****" and others are motivated by "One more push for the top". This combined with some parameters makes it very flexible. It also avoids a highly opinionated discussion about which strings you should add and or not.
I think it would be great to have an announcement when the user reached for example a new "top" speed - way to go and then announce the speed that was reached. Could be checked in regular intervals.
Describe alternatives you've considered This can be done and more sophisticated via tasker as well. But doing this "in-house" would be better solution, also considering we already have some TTS functions.
Why should this be implemented Opentracks is a sportstracking app. And part of sports is being motivated as well.
Additional context I just wanted to provide this idea I got. I'm not intending anything else.
