No matter how happy you might feel, there will be someone who seems happier. There will always be someone who seems more fulfilled, more satisfied, more content And there will always be someone who is fitter.
More active, more accomplished When I first started using Strava, I would go for a ride and then be excited to look at my segment results. That excitement quickly faded. I was almost always average, at best. In some cases well below average. So I decided to stop comparing myself to other people and just start comparing myself to myself. To see if I can improve my time on a particular segment. To see if I can increase my average power numbers.
To see if I can ride a certain route a little faster than I have before. I still check out other people's accomplishments, but I only use them for inspiration. As a sign of what is possible. As a sign that I'm capable of doing just a little bit more. The team uses Strava as a tool to study route segments, and especially the major climbs, to evaluate distances, gradients, and potential speeds so they can choose the right gearing and best tactics.
Groupama FDJ also uses Strava to create a route and export that data to every rider's Garmin eliminating GPS errors familiar to anyone who has ever ridden country roads. And to make post-stage analysis much easier. That makes debriefing a time trial extremely interesting.

According to Strava, training-related features are often the most commonly requested amongst its paid subscribers. As a result, paid members will now see that the Summit tab has become the Training tab, and within it is a better view of your overall training progress.
There are four modules to the new training tab: weekly activities, training log, weekly intensity and monthly fitness. And Strava has added filters to more easily find and sort your workouts based on time, distance, elevation, sport type and commutes. Based on your heart rate, perceived exertion or power meter data, the new weekly intensity calculator aims to give you an easy summary of your workload.
While the monthly fitness feature assigns a score to your current fitness for comparison against previous months and years. Paid users will find a handful of new Route editing and building tools for the desktop version of Strava, all designed to replicate the newly updated mobile experience and feature list. In addition to the leaderboard, routing, and other changes, Strava made the decision to cut off the over 40, apps that currently use its data. The change is necessary from a business perspective — Strava just put its leaderboards behind a paywall, so free access via 3rd party apps breaks down that paywall — but it will prove to be highly disruptive to many of its users.
These changes come with a small grace period. If nothing else, has been a year of regaining perspective. A silver lining of hard times like these is that they inspire introspection and focus — What matters the most to us? And how do we live up to that?
