This weekend is looking FABULOUS weather-wise… so what better time to try out a new app? Strava is a great Cycling and Running app, available on the Android and Apple platform. Strava also works with Garmin hardware, Soleus and Timex Run Trainer.

Strava uses the GPS on your mobile device to track your route/time/distance and sends your progress to a website you can log in to, and view all your activities. It also gives you the ability to sign up for different challenges on the website, to help you push yourself further, you can follow friends to help motivate each other, and you can even send in photos from when you’re out exercising!

Are you travelling? Check out the app for the most popular places to ride and run in the area you’re visiting, and even compete against the locals! Strava also provides a log for you to keep tabs on how long you’ve had your current running sneakers, or the last time you performed maintenance on your bike.  Keeping your gear in top shape will help ensure you can perform your best and help avoid injury. The app is a free download on Google Play or iTunes. Give it a try today and hit YOUR Strava Stride!
