hello All,
I’m a starting runner and still try to build my conditions.
the distances I run are rather on the short side (3-4 km).
since this week I started with a kind of interval training.
I was alternating 1km runs with 0.5 km walks.
my sports watch is logging this as one activity (a running activity).
once it is uploaded to strava, I can see it as one activity and immediately got a badge for “longest run”.
Since I was not running the full distance, this feels a little bit unfair and ofcourse also not “motivating” to try afterwards to break my “personal longest distance”.
so I can break down the activity in run and walk parts.
but this leaves me with a lot of activities what let also explode my “activities / week”. (which is also not fair).
Are there other possibilities I overlook?
anybody any suggestion how he/she is logging interval training (run/walk)
many thanks
Bart
how to log an interval training

Hi
Strava doesn’t have such a feature. There's an existing request that you can vote for:
I use an Apple Watch for my running and I record all activities with the native Apple Workout app and only import to Strava afterwards. That allows creating of all kinds of custom workouts incl. intervals trainings (e.g. 15 mins warmup, 10 x 400 m in a specified pace with 2 mins recovery between the repeats, open goal cool down). AW will separate all the intervals as laps, so that I can look at those separately even in Strava. However, Strava will still display only the overall time/pace in the activity summary, it's not offering intervals analysis - just some very basic in the AI blurb (but that's often inaccurate).
