Who can I contact about data requests for academic research into building a running training model

[ddrew]

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!

Hi @ddrew thanks for reaching out! As you mentioned, you're only able to access data for athletes who have authenticated for your application. This is in order to protect athlete data & privacy. We do not provide athlete data for research or analysis. Honored you thought of Strava for your research.

Best of luck in your project and studies!
