I am a post-grad student, studying for a Masters in Data Science.

I am working on a project using machine learning tools to analyse individuals' historical training and race fit / gpx / tcx data, and to identify successful training patterns and strategies.

This analysis would then be used to build and train a model to enable any runner to create their own training program, entirely personalised to their running history.

At the moment, I am limited to accessing data from people that have provided it to me directly. 

Is there anyone at Strava that can be contacted for this sort of request?

Thanks!
