I recently found out about Strava, a social media app to find friends and track activities. Friends can give each other kudos on activities. Strava can link directly to GPS watches to upload activities or activities can be tracked inside the app. Strava includes “segments” or popular routes and tracks at the top performers of specific segments. Users can search and save segments in certain areas to discover routes.

Users can keep track of mileage on shoes and equipment using Strava. Lastly, Strava features periodic challenges which encourages users to complete a certain distance.
