Add more support for multisport activities: for example triathlon

[dsm1891]

Hey,

Strava has always traditionally been focused on Cyclists, but more and more features are coming out for additional sports. I would like Strava to better support Multi sport, in both activities and athletes stats/data.

I would love to see is being able to unify/upload multiple activities that were related to each other e.g. a Triathlon. The user experience is always quite clunky, and its hard to view as a single effort/activity when looking at past activities.

Ideally this would be a single activity with different sections per sport and includes transition period. 

This would greatly improve the experience to both the user and their followers. For example the user will be able to differentiate between a 10k run and a 10k run they did at the end of a triathlon. It gives much more context into the athletes effort and doesn't treat single sport activities the same as multi sport

It will benefit their followers as it will reduce the amount of activities displayed on the feed (e.g. if they do lots of swim/run/swim/run/swim/run training). 

Look forward to hearing from you

Hi all, currently I am playing around with my strava API, the image is a example of running a summary of data for a day of my recent ironman triathlon, which in some of your cases it would suit you for your multisport events. https://lopeys.com/strava/period_activities_stats.php the page generates 2 images with stats for the total period, by each activity type, the second image is the summary of multisports so if you have done swim/ride/run or swim/run @Johan6504 on given days, I am working on a variation for a given day of one multisport event and with all the details.

Take a look at how multisport is handled on Garmin Connect. It's about right.

I've just cancelled my paid subscription. Will not be renewing until this is implemented or at least some sort of satisfactory communication from Strava is forthcoming. The silence on this subject is deafening. 

[Johan6504]

Drastic but understandable. It sure drives me crazy and screws up the running stats when running is mixed with swimming...

[Pizzalinas]

Fully supporting this initiative!

Strava has a lot of, some very niche, activity/sport types. However, Adventure Racing is still missing. Right now, we have to resort to using "Workout" to add adventure races because nothing else fits.

If Adventure Racing is too niche, at least Multisport or Orienteering would be some great alternatives.

So I'm noticing that there is not an option for a training to be a triathlon. This would be really great, so all the data is together and you don't forget to stop and start the app in between. As you also cannot bring a phone most of the time. It would be great if you could select the sports and the order and tick them off once you're done, so it shows up as 3 (or maybe even more) activities in one training. so you can still see your overall time, transition time, and speeds for the different sports.

You have to implement multisport, just use your existing UI for group activities and link the segments together. Apple gives you the health data already as Laps...

Cancelling subscription until this is resolved!

Adding my vote to support a single multi-sport entry for activities such as triathlon and swimrun. My Garmin records them as a single activity with separate laps for the different legs. It's unfortunate that it then exports to Strava as a variety of different activities. That's a lot of activities for a swimrun!

This isn’t that complicated. If Apple Watch can detect when an activity changes on the fly, I would be shocked if developers can’t utilize the same logic regardless of which device the source data is coming from.  Perfection on first iteration would be close to impossible.  That said, it would be much better than my run miles for the week not logging because they are hidden inside of a “generic” activity type.  If I perform a brick, I want the bike to log to my bike miles and the bike I am using, and the same for run. Those are the requirements—plain and simple. If you want something more granular in Strava, then log with Strava or develop a new file format that is platform agnostic.

Sure, that is not rocket science! @AC_McCoppin Strava strategy is tottaly weird. Thinking that it's better to introduce a new world wide map of the activities (one more function I will never use) thant a basif function available in all the other competitors platform. Tottaly puzzling.

[BartP]

Would like this (one multisport activity) very much! 

[garettmcdermid]

Looking forward to this feature being implemented. Really not sure why it hasn't already. Just ran my first triathlon and wish I could go in and break up the activities into their respective legs... or better yet, strava would know I'm on a bike (google fit can tell the difference between a run and a bike ride), or in a kayak, and suggest the new activity for me. now it just looks like one big run...

Hello

Just look like Polar Flow did it, its great there, pure joy of watching this stats. While on strava it's pretty hard to understand what is going on when someone don't know anything about triathlon. Transitions and combined time didn't even appear. And activities order is messed up on general feed.
