Does anyone else use Strava?

[hjgibson]

I’ve been using Strava to track my runs since week 3 and it’s been so interesting to see my pace/personal bests once I’ve finished the runs. My favourite part about getting in the door is to see if I’ve set any new records! Does anyone else use Strava? I would love to follow you if you do! It could be fun to keep each other accountable.

Hi. Yes I use Strava. 😊

[hjgibson Graduate in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Feel free to look me up on it and I’ll follow you back!

Hi! I’m the same! I love looking at my stats in a very casual way but it shows how much my fitness has improved when I compare stats. Plus I study my route in detail as if I’d never seen it before and bore my husband with it too!! Feel free to follow me too. I’m Sara Cartwright (red top in pic) 😀

[BlondeAmbition72 Graduate]

Yes, I use Strava!! And like you, when I finish a ‘run’ I can’t wait to see how it compares to previous efforts. I’m trying not to concentrate on pace as I’m only just about to start Week 3 but it’s very interesting!

There's a C25K group on strava many of us use too.

[Hidden in reply to Whatsapp]

I'm new to Strava, how do you find the group?

[hjgibson Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It’s called NHS C25k

Another user of Strava here, as others have said it’s great for comparing stats, I started using it with my bike and then for the c25k which I will be starting again shortly. Well worth a try.

If I go some special for a trip or holiday I use sportstracker.com, but for training I use the fitness thing on my apple watch. Daughter uses strava and loves it, but she doesn’t have any apple stuff.

Interesting - I'm currently using the Strava app on my Apple Watch, which means I get the social stuff and analytics from Strava, and it also auto updates the Apple Activity app.

I love strava, keeps me accountable and I get added support from my running friend plus it’s connected to my fitbit and my fitness pal.

It used to be a little bit discouraging when I’d see I’m the slowest out of the 186 runners to do my route but I just don’t bother looking at that anymore ha

Loads of us.... just for the fun as well as a the record if the runs:_

Another Strava user here, use it mainly to give my super-fit younger sisters a laugh at my snail-like running

Feel free to follow - it's Ian Wallace - with a very dull office-type photo, which I must get around to changing!

[Navidvivo]

I use Strava too.

Do you guys pause it when you're walking and re-start when you start running?

[hjgibson Graduate in reply to Navidvivo]

I counted my walks along with my runs until week 7 when I stopped recording the warm up/cool down walks.

[Ripcurlrana71 in reply to Navidvivo]

Now only record the running parts too. I stopped week 8.

I've just joined Strava - used it this morning for W5R2 (running part only) - would be great to connect with you guys on there! Have managed to find a few of you ... This is me strava.com/athletes/30891289
