If you’re struggling to see the big picture through all your Strava stats, the platform’s new update is for you.
Strava announced Thursday the public beta launch of an A.I.-powered feature “that provides personalized insights based on activity data.”
“‘Athlete Intelligence’ makes it easier to understand performance metrics from a smartwatch or mobile phone so users can get the most out of each activity,” read a press statement.
“This new subscriber feature analyzes and interprets workout data into simple, personalized insights and guidance. Easily accessible alongside activity details on the Strava app, the feature is helpful for athletes of all levels, from beginner to advanced.”
What does that all that actually mean?
Strava promises its Athlete Intelligence algorithms will cut through the clutter of cadence, heart rate, “relative effort,” and whatever other metrics users obsess and become distressed over.
The resulting analysis will pick out progression over time, provide ideas for future training, and serve “tailored tips” for the next activity.
“With more than 10 billion activity uploads on Strava, the data illustrates a unique picture for each user and represents their authentic effort,” said Matt Salazar, Strava’s chief product officer.
“By distilling it to be more conversational, the goal of this feature is to help users better understand their performance,” Salazar said Thursday.
Strava is already using artificial intelligence to detect irregular activities, like when you “accidentally” log a bike ride as a run, claim a KoM on your scooter, or similar.
No escaping Quick Edit, but the chance to opt out of Athlete Intelligence
The Athlete Intelligence beta comes right on the wheels of the new love-or-hate “Quick Edit” update.
The Quick Edit feature is that sometimes irritating pop-up that appears on the app when you upload an activity but don’t immediately tweak the details.
Although at times annoying, Quick Edit prevents a workout from hitting Strava’s public feed before a user reviews it.
It helps promote security and privacy – and prompts athletes to ponder a witty title and share the mid-ride selfies nobody wants to see.
The new Athlete Intelligence feature will be a similarly automatic function of the Strava platform. Insights will be provided before you’ve even gotten out of your bib shorts.
Only into Strava for the kudos and couldn’t care for the insights?
Don’t worry, you can opt out of the new A.I beta by navigating through the feedback module.
