Comparison is the thief of joy they say. Thinking about deleting strava to just focus on my training and trust the process for the upcoming season. Anyone else not use strava? And if not what app do you use to track your monthly and yearly stats?

Of course, and that’s what I’m considering. Strava seems to have gotten a lot more paranoid, or something. Killing links? Blocking comments? Hawking meaningless features? It’s looking more desperate every day… (Sorry, thought your post was a question, :roll_eyes:) I tend to like Strava to give sup…

There is a rather long Des/DC video on YouTube that rakes Strava pretty hard. Like ‘What are they doing, and why’…

I use it for a few things. My weekly climbing and mileage totals. A quick look back at weeks before events to see what I did in the past. To see what friends are doing that are too far away to ride with. Like my grand son. To give them a thumbs up for a nice ride. It’s not an app that I have to …

Has anyone been able to get their data out of Strava? I tried before I dropped them a few years ago and never got it. Wondering it I’ll get it now. I’d like to put it in a database to make it easier to search for previous workouts, and do some basic statistics, and got crickets the last time I tried…

If by “data” you mean your rides or routes, Strava has always offered the ability to export individual rides. If you mean media/comments/posts/etc., then doubtful.

I just did the ‘download request’, and will wait and see what, if anything, I get. I can see them ignoring it, but that’s nasty…

I pull mine occasionally, every 12 months or so when I remember. Most recently in September of this year. Put in the request and they emailed me the data within an hour. They send almost everything - including all comments, goals, support tickets, etc. There about 40 different CSV files with your d…

I use it, but don’t pay it. Free version is more than enough.
