STRAVA• Strava is a cycling-rooted

app allows you to track both your runs and rides with GPS, join challenges, and see how your running and riding compares with friends.

STRAVA• You can set personal

records and see how you stack up against friends, locals and pros, as well as join monthly challenges designed to push you further.

STRAVA• Find your friends and

motivate them with kudos and and comments. Share Instagram photos from your activities on your Strava profile.

STRAVA

• Strava ‘s biggest strength

lies within the ingenious

“segments” feature.

STRAVA• Upload a gpx track of

your completed ride, and Strava analyses the data with all the usual stats you’d expect, plus a breakdown of specific segments of the ride, eg hill climbs.

STRAVA• It knows who else has

completed those segments, and ranks everybody according to time. The fastest gets a KOM, King of the mountain achievement.

STRAVA• Most people wouldn’t

bother to go to the trouble of timing themselves on individual climbs within their ride. Way too much hassle! Strava does it automatically, and awards you an achievement when you beat your personal best (PB).
