Are you on Strava? Why not? Strava is a social fitness network that is used to track cycling, running, and swimming activities, among others, using GPS data. Activities are recorded via the Strava mobile application or GPS-enabled fitness watches or cycling computers. Users can upload activities to the Strava site directly, via the Strava mobile application, or via one of Strava's data partners such as Garmin. The software provides statistics such as distance, pace, speed and elevation, and provides comparisons with other users' activities. Strava will also take into account heart rate and power data if the user has paired such accessories with the Strava mobile application or their GPS-enabled devices.
