Duane_Bosch Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 I also don't get guys who upload Strava when they went to gym... Like an IDT session? I do that. but mine shows km's. No elevation tho. Even tho it often feels like a climb up an Alp.
Duane_Bosch Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 lol well it ain't working and they gooi me plenty kudos. I am not interested in following someone I don't know/know of. Your pics on IG recently were lekker, I was very jealous.IG?
Jewbacca Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 For some its a fitness tracker and those sessions add to your CTLReally? Does strava have the tools to actually accurately log things like gym and Chronic Training Loads? Wouldn't something like Training Peaks be a better solution?
mecheng89 Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Really? Does strava have the tools to actually accurately log things like gym and Chronic Training Loads? Wouldn't something like Training Peaks be a better solution?If you have an expensive (I hate the term smart) GPS activity device, such as the excellent Edge 520, and frankly some of the older models such as the 510/800/810, you can engage Indoor Mode. Then you link your Wattbike and HR monitor to your Garmin, it picks up speed/HR/cadence/PWR and you upload that to your training analysis software of your choice. Same with watches, but in particular the XT series. It "knows"when you are running on the treadmill, or you can tell it you're about to. The Fenix series does this very well too.

TIB Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Check your privacy settings periodically. I'm quite paranoid about it so only people whom I personally know follow me. If you train alone then set your FlyBy to private as well. No one can see your ride but you can see theirs if they aren't hidden as well. Strava has become far too "social" for me. But if that's the direction they want to take, so be it. Useless to analyse your rides. GC (Garmin Connect and GoldenCheetah for that matter) do a much better job. King of Mountain should be renamed King of Segment, since many KOMs here are nowhere near mountainous. KOS. I'll chew on that....
Duane_Bosch Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 InstagramOoooh. Haha. Sorry. My brain isn't engaged today. My Mate Martin is organizing a trip for Next year if you are keen. More Giro roads than you can shake a stick at and more climbing than your legs will like. And cheaper than the F place that I'm not allowed to talk about on here.
NGM Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Just got flaggedLike a 3 min segmentMy avg bpm 170Average power just over 400 megawatts Jealousy makes people nasty 400 megawatts is literally a million times more power than i can put out for a similar time period, so I'm pretty jealous too. Although it wasn't me that flagged you.
Skubarra Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Have you joined a club/group recently? I left most of my clubs/groups, after that the kudos from random people all over the world mostly dried up. Not paranoid about my privacy like mecheng but all these random kudos were annoying. Also think the club/group thing is not a bad idea but for the most part not really useful in practice.
Coolspin Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Thought about getting Strava set up to check how fast / slow I am, to monitor my progress and long term fitness levels, while constantly being measured against other riders whilst partaking in my leisure activity. Went upstairs and lay down until the thought passed.Feel much better now.

The Privacy Zones feature has largely managed any privacy concerns I had. I'm happy with anybody seeing my training, most of my weekday training is on the IDT anyway. But the location of my home remains private. https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000173384-Privacy-Zones

Just a bit too easy on Strava for anyone to see exactly where you live!
Thor Buttox Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Yes the privacy zone is the only "privacy feature" I use. Just a bit too easy on Strava for anyone to see exactly where you live!I don't use it because in my mind I expect to come home to hero's welcome after another successful Strav-Adventure. (And I am no longer worried about the local crash and breaker and bike stealing mofo, touch wood.)
WrightJnr Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Privacy Zone nice feature I suppose. I don’t bother, in my mind if someone wants to know where I live and is serious enough, there are much easier ways to finding out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
