Strava announced an MCP a few weeks ago and I was excited to try it out. A few things I’ve been able to do with it so far:
- Reviewed all my activities and gave me some useful (and fun!) insights.I think it helped that I tend to add a blurb in Strava after each ride, which helped add some color and additional detail.
- Gave me a training plan based on my past data and futures goals.
- Offered to and then created a cool one-page site of my mountain bike rides this year. I sort of turned it into a training plan for an upcoming race. Github is here, if you want to fork to make your own.
- Identified all duplicate entries. Sometimes I track with both Wahoo and my watch and forget to delete the dupes. It was able to give me a list of all dupes so I could go and delete them. I do wish I could tell it to delete these for me instead of having to do that part manually. (Especially since delete action is now reversible.) But now I have clean and accurate data to work with!
- It helpfully suggested I update my max heart rate to get better data going forward. (The max heart rate in Strava was set to a value lower than a number I regularly go over.)
