doesn’t Strava have a feature that allows you to hide the start and finish points of your run within a chosen distance? or is that not as effective as it sounds?
Molly was not your typical girl growing up. While her peers were flooding social media, she barely had one. Never one in it for the image. She was a hard working runner/xc ski type. The type that is truly admirable and that all of you young guys should try and seek out in your prospective mates. Similar to the wholesome dairy farm children types (like Elle) and their upbringing.
I kind of knew from afar that social media and the attention could be a bit of an issue for her. She is sort of like 4-5 years old, picking up social media for the first time and yet trapped inside a 26-27 year old famous Olympian's body. She was very, very quiet and softspoken when younger. So it is a lot different.

Found the stalker..
This is a great example of the vote count being a great feature. There are like 10 different red flags in 2 paragraphs.
It seems like a setting that makes the map and location info private but the workout data public would be a solution. I am not clever enough to know if this is already possible, but if so I haven't seen it. I am a lazy user...I use Strava just because it does all the logging for me, and am certainly not an expert on the features.

I answered this just a few posts ago. Send me the Strava profile of a person who does this and I'll be able to determine their address within 10 minutes. I'm pretty sure that answers your question.

The feature might not exist. From a technical standpoint it is an easy software solution. But the problem more often then not is what to decide as far as should the user have to opt in to the feature or opt out. Sometimes, it can be difficult exposing new features in an app unless the users are opted in by default and have to opt out.
If they went with the solution of hiding some of the functionality by default, making the feature opt-out, it would retroactively impact all of the existing users who had no problem exposing all of their workout data and location. If they make it opt-in, it would need to be communicated to all users that they can go to Settings and enable greater privacy. Opt-in would be the best solution. The feature must be clearly communicated to the users.

Easy peasy! With the use of the person's name, Strava profile, Google, Zillow, Apartments.com, and their own blabbing on this forum (No paid public records sites), I was able to find a famous LRC poster's:
Current and previous addresses Parents names and parent's home address Pictures of the building that the poster resides in Floorplan of their rental unit Sales records and ownership of that unit Most often run routes and track facilities used
Unless they've changed it recently, you can use a privacy setting within Strava to hide the start and end points of your run (or maybe it's just your home location) with a given radius (e.g., 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, etc.). I typically don't bother with that, but I'm not a younger female whose activities attract the attention of headcases.
Apologies if someone else mentioned this later in the thread, I posted when i saw this comment.
Training isn't witchcraft, and there aren't really any secrets anymore.
No. There is the easy/hard pace, number of sessions per week, double-threshold runs, intensities at reps, rest and recovery time, training concept in general, yearly training plan and so on and so on .... A endless list of things.
It is naive to think every pro (group) trains the same way and therefore hits the same results. So providing your training data reveals a lot.
As shown by the number of your downvotes, you are wrong. Everyone knows the basic principles of training. It's fine tuning them to what works for each individual. So it makes no difference if your competitors see what your doing, because what works for you may work differently for someone else.
Only thing, I guess it could give away is what kind of shape your in, which may effect how a race plays out. Of course that's only if the person hasn't raced in a while.

Yep, I hide any part of my routes that fall in a mile radius of my home. I’m not keeping any big secret from my friends that follow me, I just don’t fully trust the platform. You might get to my street from triangulating from a mile out, but you won’t get to my front door. At least until I move to a ranch.
I have never looked at this Strava. What really is the point of this? She should have never been on it in the first place. I am not blaming her but really this Strava sounds sort of pointless.
