![]() The harder the ride, the taller the line. Each line’s height represents the ride’s difficulty, based on its intensity and duration, and is called its “training impulse” or TRIMP or “suffer score”. Each one of the vertical lines represents a ride. Look first at the histogram across the bottom. The main point of this post is the “Freshness & Fitness” chart, which I want to explain in some detail, because it’s cool.įor visual reference, here’s my fitness chart for the past 12 months. That’s all nice, but it’s not the premium feature that I really want to show you. And thanks to favorable weather, I’ve already completed two more this year, and will complete my first monthly “climbing challenge” in a couple days. In 2014 I completed four monthly “gran fondo” challenges plus one long “summer challenge”. Since those aren’t shown for free users, I never paid much attention to the challenges I’d completed, but now they all show up on my rider profile. Strava offers monthly climbing or mileage “challenges” to all riders, but when a paying member completes a challenge, Strava adds little badges on the “trophy case” section of their rider profile page. Click thru for the interactive version.Ĭlearly they’re more flexible and less work than creating my own from scratch.Īnother premium feature worth a brief mention is the “trophy case”. So here’s another chart showing where I’ve ridden since moving to Pittsburgh back in December. They also let you generate heatmaps for a particular calendar year or an arbitrary date range. Click here or on the image to get through to the interactive map where you can pan and zoom around. In comparison, here’s Strava’s heatmap of all the 500+ rides I’ve logged since 2010. A year and a half ago, I put together my own heatmap of a year’s worth of my cycling in Boston, which you can see here. However, a recent offer of a free month of premium access finally lured me in.Īlthough it’s not the main point of this post, the first thing I had to look at was those heatmap charts. For myself, the ability to create my own heatmaps wasn’t sufficient reason to pay for access. Like many sites, Strava gives free users access to most of their functionality, but saves some advanced features for paying members. While that might be how it is for them, that doesn’t confer upon them the right to judge others for whom Strava’s information actually enhances their cycling experience. But there’s been a bit of backlash from non-competitive riders who think preoccupation with “the numbers” detracts from the pleasure of riding. There’s no question of the value it provides.
