I would like to suggest an improvement to Live Segments for Premium subscribers.
Currently, Live Segments only allow comparison against a Personal Record (PR) and the segment KOM/QOM/CR. While this is useful, it would be much more valuable if users could choose the reference they want to compete against during the segment.
Suggested options could include:
-
Personal Record (current option)
-
Last attempt
-
Best effort within a selected time period (e.g. last 90 days or current year)
-
A custom target time entered by the user
-
A selected friend or follower
-
A previous activity chosen by the user
For many athletes, especially those training consistently, comparing against a recent performance or a specific target time is more motivating and relevant than comparing against an old PR or an unattainable KOM.
This feature would make Live Segments a much more powerful training tool and would add significant value for Premium subscribers, particularly for those using the Strava mobile app.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
