For those of us who train across multiple locations and countries,
the current route browsing system on Strava is starting to feel very limiting.
Right now, route filtering is extremely basic
mainly distance and elevation. That might work for casual users,
but for athletes who build structured training libraries,
it quickly becomes messy and hard to manage.
Key issues:
• No proper location-based organization (country / city / region grouping)
• No way to bulk reorganize or archive old routes
• No tagging or categorization system
• Difficult to quickly find specific training routes
Suggested improvements:
-
Location folders or auto-grouping by map region
-
Custom labels or tags (e.g., Race, Intervals, Z2, Recovery, Climbing, Travel)
-
Ability to archive, delete, or bulk edit routes
-
Smart filtering (surface type, race simulation, training intent)
Many of us maintain routes for different purposes race prep, interval loops, long Z2 endurance rides, travel riding, etc. Without better organization tools, the route library becomes cluttered and inefficient.
Strava has evolved impressively in analytics and social features. Route management deserves the same attention.
Curious if others feel the same especially athletes training in multiple regions.
