Strava

P.S. I wish they'd fix the "Changing activity type" type bugs. I signed up for the Strava 10k running challenge as I'll (eventually) get to running 10k in December.

I go to upload my 11.5km bike commute for this morning (from a Forerunner 110) and it first (before submitting) assumes it is a run, fine, I change it to a bike ride before submitting. It submits it and then flashes up the "Changing activity type" banner.

Now I see a "Greenbank completed the Challenge" for the Strava 10k running challenge in my activity feed despite not having run 10km in December, and it hasn't gone away despite having >12 hours to fix itself.

It also credits me with doing the 10k challenge at 5:43/km pace, which is 10.5kph, about what I did my last 8k run at, but 8k isn't 10k. My cycle ride averaged 18.9kph which is way faster than 5:43/km, so it can't be that.

The lack of ability to provide any form of feedback is maddening. Ah, I get to provide feedback as I downgrade my account. Done.

The Sunday Strava broke?

Ha! Just done mine. I like how they put it to inspirational yet sentimental music. I shed a tear or two whilst watching it.

Did mine too.

I only Strava proper rides. Not commutes, trips to shops etc. So the total distance is way off. Elevation gain is both pretty accurate and a bit nuts. Must better that for 2015!

I forgot to log anything while riding around Padova for EHBPC2014.

Also need to start uploading my mid-ride photos via Instagram to associate them with the Strava activity, rather than going straight to Facebook.

Pics would be good.

Highest suffer score of 610. I know from memory that this was pretty rough. But have no idea what the number means....?

Jäcke meene.

I got 8 KOM's this year. What a ledge.

Just noticed some new(ish) features on the segment page - a comparison screen where you can look at your effort across a segment vs whoever you want, and a set of training plans where you get emails telling you what workout to follow that day.

The former is really good i think, haven't looked closely at it yet though. The latter is a nice idea although I can't see me ever using it.

(Apologies if I'm really late to the party here)

More than you really need to know about sufferscore.

610 is huge. I hope it made your Greatest Hits edit.

Just my commute.
Jokes.

It was the big Trondheim Oslo sportive.

Hope it takes into account getting sick and bonking like a lead balloon around 3am, just as it started pissing down. Up till then I was just over joyed to be allowed to ride my bicycle so much.

With the nerds for a day.

2015-KOM can GTFO.

If I'd known all riding prior to 2015 didn't count I'd have taken up tennis.

Is there away to download or save a route from another rider's activities?

If you're a premium member you can... Or just build it yourself

You could ask them nicely?

I got a load of 2015 KOM's today.

I hope the weather's shit tomorrow, it would be nice to keep them for 24 hours.

25 KoM's on my commute in this morning. I await a deluge of emails crushing my sense of achievement next week.

my highest suffer score was 776!

Mine was eleventybillion.

Apparently if you reach one thousand suffers you join Tommy Simpson in the big velodrome-in-the-clouds, or Newport (dependent on whether you carry home and patch your tubes or throw them in the hedge).

You also get to buy a Ltd Edition jersey.

Can Premium members see the suffer scores of rides from people who aren't premium members? My one month free trial has run out so I can't see mine any more.

Can't remember what my highest was, have only done a few stupid long Audax with a Garmin that records HR, but most of those were uploaded in two sections (as I reset the Garmin to stop it freezing and losing everything or plugged it in to the external battery). e.g.

Had external battery problems on PBP in 2011 so I didn't record much of that at all.
