For the outdoor enthusiast, Strava is an incredible tool to discover, plan, and track routes. Whether you’re hiking, walking, running, or biking, an easy-to-use dashboard displays your progress and recent workouts.
Strava’s primary focus is on tracking performance data, using GPS and other gear, such as fitness trackers, to pull and collaborate your data into advanced analytics you can dig into.
Those who are training for races and events will find these features handy while working to improve performance or prepare for competition.
The coolest part? You can share live updates with social connections for safety and motivation.
Ferrante tested this pick and loves the comfort of knowing her friends and family can track her location while she’s out for early morning or nighttime runs—and it really comes in handy during race training.
Mindbodygreen sustainability and health director, Emma Loewe also tested Strava, adding that it’s a great option for tracking exertion rate, progress, and PRs. Plus, you can track a run while offline (without using data).
