You can leave comments and “give kudos” – the Strava term for “liking” something – on your friends’ workouts.

In addition to tracking your own workouts, Strava also lets you see the workouts that others upload (as long as their settings are public or you’re added as a friend). You can also indicate which shoes you ran in to help you track the mileage on them. In Strava, you can add comments and photos to your own workouts, which is helpful for referencing later when you’re trying to pinpoint where an injury came from or trying recreate the perfect training cycle that led to a PR.

(Since I use it primarily for tracking my running, that is what I’ll focus on in my review versus the bike option which is also popular.) It can be used to track all types of workouts, including cycling, running, walking, hiking, yoga, Peloton rides, strength training, crossfit style workouts, and more. Strava is an online workout log and social network. If you’re unfamiliar with Strava or have heard of it but don’t really understand it, I’m sharing all the details in this post!
