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?

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.

Even though I seldom use the pro or social features I renewed my subscription because I feel that even the free version gives me a lot of value and I would hate to see strava disappear

Yeah! I noticed that. Weird, seemingly no order in them at times…

[image] Deleteme: Garmin keeps advertising the ‘social aspect’ of Connect. It does ‘social’? Never knew that… It does, and a few of my friends all connected (in Connect) and it was great from the “I just want to know my friend exercised and give them a thumbs up” perspective. There are also …

Been a Strava user since like the very beginning of it. I still like it…has never me caused me stress in any way lol. I live abroad and my friends are scattered all over the world these days, so it great way to see what everyone is doing whether it be training, or racing, or just having fun socia…
