Strava

Strava is a relatively new app for tracking your cycling and running. It does what much more expensive pieces of equipment do for FREE..

Reasons I love strava and think you should too.

1. Motivation. Strava is pretty, intuitive and it makes seeing your results easy. You can also follow and be followed by friends for added camaraderie.

2. Tracking.. Strava is accurate. You can track your mileage, speed, elevation, heart rate (with monitor and premium account). It’s hard to get better if you can’t track your growth.

3. SEGMENTS! Strava has a unique community feature called segments. Segments are simply a small (or big) part of a ride created by strava users. Anyone who rides over that same segment will be timed and ranked among all the other users. For you weird competitive ones like me out there, this feature alone is worth the download.

4. Challenges. There are also Strava wide challenges that are usually something like Who can ride 500 km first. Usually these challenges are completed by freaks who ride like 100 miles a day, but they are fun nonetheless.

Conclusion:
Strava is an absolute must have if you run or cycle and you have an iphone. It is simply the best way to track your rides and runs. GET IT.
