<\/p>\nStrava adds new training and routing features<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Strava has announced updates to its route planning, training insights, and leaderboard integrity, rolling out in the next two months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The biggest change for cyclists is the integration of Power Skills, part of Strava\u2019s acquisition of training platform The Breakaway earlier this year. In essence, the tool breaks down a rider\u2019s personal power records across 12 intervals and highlights strengths and weaknesses, with the option to compare recent efforts against lifetime bests. Strava said its new Training Zones feature will also show how much time users spend in heart rate, pace, or power zones over a specific time period to help get a better understanding of their training effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the navigation side, Strava\u2019s mobile Route Builder is getting a redesign for mobile with more detailed route previews (elevation, surface type, grade) and the ability to add or adjust waypoints, such as cafe stops.<\/p>\n
In the last year, Strava has been vocal about eliminating “cheating” in its segements, and as part of the recent updates, it’s added the detection and removal of e-bike rides uploaded to ride or run segment leaderboards, so they only appear on e-bike leaderboards instead. Strava said its machine learning systems have already removed 4.45 million irregular activities from leaderboards this year, “restoring KOMs and QOMs to reflect true performances of the global community”.<\/p>\n
