Strava

Strava is a fitness tracking platform and social network built for runners, cyclists, and other endurance athletes. The service connects to GPS-enabled devices, smartwatches, and mobile phones to record metrics such as distance, pace, elevation gain, and heart rate for individual workouts. Users upload these activities to build a personal training log, compare performance over time, and compete with others on shared route segments through leaderboards. The platform includes social features like following other athletes, giving kudos, commenting on activities, and joining clubs or group challenges. A subscription tier offers additional analysis tools, including advanced performance metrics, personalized training plans, and route-building features beyond the free version's basic tracking capabilities.
