Strava

is free to use, so why try the two months’ Premium membership free with this issue? Well, you get additional features focused on real-time feedback, safety, additional ride analysis and personalised coaching. Here are some of the highlights…

Beacon

Turn on Beacon before any activity and up to three safety contacts can see your location on a map in real time, just in case you get into dif iculty on the trails and they need to ind you.

Route Planning

Download or export the route data of another Strava user’s activity. This can then be uploaded to a compatible GPS device to use the map or courses features and help you discover new places to ride.

Suffer Score

This measures how hard you try. When you provide Strava with your heart-rate data and train with a heart-rate monitor, every activity is ranked with a Suffer Score based on the time you spend in different heart-rate zones.

Goals

Set weekly, annual and segment goals. Then use customisable training plans, designed by the world’s best coaches, to bring those goals to fruition.

Premium Leaderboards

Filter leaderboards by age and weight to see how you stack up against your peers.

Fitness and Freshness

Analyse power and heart-rate data with the help of an easy-tounderstand graph. This allows you to quickly assess whether you’re approaching a peak in performance or a deep valley of overtraining.
