A couple of my riding mates and I were chatting about how we have distanced ourselves from Strava over the last year or so, has anyone else? Don’t get me wrong, I think Strava did a hell of a lot to motivate,create social scenes and generally motivate us in the past few years and I’m not slating th…

I guess I’m just an anomaly… my feed is mostly in chronological order. Not exact mind you, but close enough… It’s not quite as drastic as Facebook’s which will absolutely stop showing posts from your friends if you don’t like their posts, I still see people’s activities if I don’t give them kudos. I…

[image] martinheadon: but if you actually got that, with the number of people most users follow, and the number of daily commutes and extra yoga sessions those people upload, you’d soon want to go back to the nice algorithm. Or - as often requested - get the options to tag and hide things lik…

I just dropped out of subscribing for Strava Summit. I’m hiding all my rides because well nobody has to give me anything. I’m thankful for Strava being a big part of my weight loss but I really don’t care about it’s tools anymore. Getting kudos isn’t important however I do check out my feed because …

the thing that upsets me most is that there is always someone slower than me. I have had to stop to recover from asthma attacks on climbs and I was still nowhere near DFL on those segments. I went on a gravel ride the other day, and since I haven’t done much gravel, I was descending slowly. I sti…

[image] JoeX: I still have and use the free account as it’s easier to sync workouts via Strava. If I didn’t need it for that, I wouldn’t use it at all. A year later, still the same.

I am planning on dumping Strava. I already dumped Summit. I just don’t see the value. I use it mainly as a training diary and that hasn’t changed in years. It also bothers me that they won’t use standard metrics like normalized power but had to make up their own terms. I’d rather have everyone …

For me, no Strava and no Zwift. I’m just not a trendy guy, I stay away from social media as well. I use TrainerRoad and WKO5. Just focused on my work. I’ll see how fit my friends are on race day. No need to stalk them on the internet.

I use it for Becon and for the social side as most of my training buds are spread across the globe

Nah I like Strava. It’s the best place to find pictures of Coach Chad drinking every form of alcoholic beverage under the Kona sun.

Having now decided to take a change of direction with my training over winter I’ll continue to upload but they will remain private. I find myself looking at what others do less and less but at certain times of year it becomes a good resource. I’ve just dropped training peaks as I was tired of being…

Anyone else switching off from Strava..?

I only kept it mostly to keep track of segments but now that WKO5 has smart segments it’s just a way to follow what other athletes and friends are doing
