STRAVA 101

I have been using Strava for well over a year now.  I just wanted to highlight the features that I use and love.  I will try my best to keep it short.

Uploading runs

Firstly there is an Android and iPhone App which allows you to track your run from your phone and upload it directly to Strava.  I have used this on many occasions when my Garmin is dead or struggling for GPS. 90% of my runs I log with my Garmin watch, so I upload to Garmin Connect in my normal way (You don’t need to do this) and then hit the upload button in Strava, it will scan for your watch and upload directly from it.  You are then able to amend activity, trim the route, put a fancy title on and a description so all your follow runners know how the run went!  You can also add manual activities, but be warned they do not count towards challenges.
