Dear Strava Team,

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the recent change in your platform requiring users to subscribe to Runna in order to access training plans—something that was previously included as part of the Strava experience.

As a paying Strava subscriber, I have valued the platform not just for activity tracking, but also for the useful features that supported my fitness goals—training plans being one of them. Moving this functionality behind an additional paywall feels like a step backward. It’s disheartening to now be asked to pay extra for a service that was once part of the core value of my Strava subscription.

While I understand the business decision to partner with Runna and expand premium offerings, I believe core training plans should remain accessible to paying Strava members without requiring a separate subscription.

Please reconsider this approach or at the very least provide a basic tier of training plans within the standard Strava subscription. I truly hope Strava continues to serve its loyal community by prioritising value and user experience.

PS: I used chatGPT to make a new marathon training plan and its almost identical to McMillin ;)
