Summary

Strava is an activity-tracking service for running and riding. It can record GPS activities, let users join challenges, share activity photos, and follow friends; the free plan includes activity recording, community features, and safety features. Subscription features include routes, segment leaderboards, and advanced training analysis, with progress views, trends, and real-time insights. Subscribers can also use route recommendations and offline maps, save routes for offline use, and draw routes.
