something interesting, because of the Fatmap takeover by Strava I saw that https://recoverathletics.com/
was taken over too, which you can use as a Strava Premium user for free
after registration i received this information by mail:
… Strava and Recover share a subscription. All Strava subscribers have automatic access to 100% of Recover’s content. Since you connected a premium Strava account, you have access to all premium features on both apps. Please let us know if you have any questions!..
I canceled my paid subscription. The main thing I like about it is the training info. I like looking at my fitness score. I believe that number is something akin to ctl. Am I correct in this? What are my options for this info when my paid sub lapses and I’m on the free version?
I tried the ‘Recover’ app but I got sick of it popping up with recommendations to stretch at inconvenient times. I’d rather stretch at a time I find convenient.
My score goes up when I’m doing lots of long & frequent outdoors rides (arguably wearing me out and making me less fit) and goes down when I’m doing shorter rides and shorter trainer sessions (which are arguably making me more fit) You are not missing much
To close the loop on my post 8 days ago… My annual payment was £39.99, an amount that was unchanged since I switched from a monthly to a yearly payment scheme in June 2017. Previously, between Feb 2016, when I started my subscription to Strava, through May 2017, the monthly rate was steady at £3.99 per month.
As @dcrainmaker noted, there’s no option to change location. Further, the price adjustment seems to not have included any effort to adjust the location. I have lived in Switzerland since the summer of 2016, less than two years since I opened the Strava account, and a few months after I started paying for Strava. The former data point, where the account was opened, based on Ray’s analysis, is the only relevant data point for Strava. I’ve been paying with a Swiss credit card, so the billing of the card doesn’t matter, also as Ray noted.
Well, the adjustment came through: my annual is now £54.99.
Yup, it’s still in GBP, and figures to be about US $68 / year. This is about a buck below the new standard price for Swiss users (or perhaps “registrants”), based on the currency rates right now:
I’m in the US and got notice that mine is going to $79.99 a year. But interestingly the email says that I’ve been a member since 2013 even though the Strava website shows I’ve been a member since June 2011 and a subscriber since July 2011… How do you not get that right? (And I’m going to the free plan.)
Mines just switched. Up until today it was still showing £47.99, its just gone up to £54.99 so thats a 15% increase. Luckily I’ve got until August to decide
On top of that, their inability to change your country association seems like they may have issues with paying the right tax to the right jurisdiction. Whether its a big deal or not would depend on how many of their paying members have moved to different countries.
If you’re doing it right, no. Taxation is complicated and there’s companies that exist just to ensure it’s done properly and remitted to the respective tax authority.
