Add feature to separate actives in one activity period

[andymckibbon]

I think Strava should incorporate a feature that allows you to track two separate activities in one activity period. I often find myself exercising(running/walking/yoga/etc) and incorporating multiple forms of these in one activity. For example, when I go on a run and then a walk immediately after - if I want an accurate stat report I have to track those as two activities. For both myself and others this is often inconvenient and I end up using the same activity period for both which ends up skewing any sort of analytical results I may want. Having a quick and accessible way to separate the activities either during or after the period would help to provide accurate data on the users exercise and keep all activity during that exercise period in one place.

@andymckibbon - There is a way to do what I think you are asking about.  If you are using the web version of Strava, open the activity in question once you are done, click on the three dots on the left side in the menu and select "split" from the list.  This will allow you to "split" your activity into up to 3 separate activities.  This is perfect for when you, say, go for a bike ride, then do a quick run after.  You can record it as a single file and then split it into two separate activities after, indicating what "sport" each one is at that time.  This will retain all of the applicable analytics for each activity.  Unfortunately, you can't do this right now with the mobile app.

Thanks for your post.  We do offer a tool so you can split an activity into two activities (or more if necessary) and then edit each activity and change it to the correct sport type (run, walk etc.)

Thanks @anchskier for mentioning this tool.

Instructions for using the split tool can be found here
