The Oria take

Worth it for the accountability more than the data. If seeing that a friend went out this morning is what gets you out the door, this is the app that does it. If comparing yourself to other people is not motivating for you, it is the wrong one.

What is Strava?

Strava tracks activity by GPS and turns it into something shared: routes, segments, clubs and challenges, with friends able to see and respond to what you did. For a lot of people the social side is the point, and it is what keeps them going out. The core is free, with a subscription for the deeper analysis.

What it offers

  • GPS tracking for running, riding, walking and thirty other sports
  • Segments and routes for exploring
  • Clubs and challenges
  • Beacon, which shares your live location with a safety contact

What we like

  • The social side is genuinely motivating for a lot of people
  • Works with most GPS watches rather than locking you in
  • Beacon is a real safety feature for running alone

Things to consider

  • The comparison and leaderboards do not suit everyone
  • Some analysis is subscription-only
  • Worth checking your privacy settings before recording from home

Free to join and use, with a paid subscription for extra analysis and route features. The Australian price is not published on the site; check in the app store.

Prefer practising with other people?

An app is a good companion between sessions. These are the places in Perth doing the same thing in a room.
