Hey - I recently wrote a blog post on how to use Strava, including a break down of the new Strava Premium/Summit features, and how to set-up Strava. I personally really like Strava to track my running training and mileage per week, finding new routes to run, plus my shoe usage. However, it does have different uses given the individual's needs.
Strava is a great way to track your running training, share it with your network, and club (yep, you can join real and virtual clubs), participate in virtual races and challenges and stay connected with your running community. Strava is in app form and also accessible via the website
www.strava.com
. Many users utilize it to keep track of their training for their coaches to see, and not surprisingly, compare their efforts with other athletes doing the same activity.
Athletes have a variety of reasons for being active users of Strava. For some, it is about staying accountable for their training. For others, it might be about competing with friends, for coaches to track and monitor their athlete’s training program or plan, to discover new routes and trails, or to compete in virtual races. Virtual races are taking off right now, ignited by the recent world events. More and more clubs are posting individual segment challenges with prize incentives.
