Add "warm up / down" as an activity type (especially on runs)

[bamesjerry]

I'd like to have the option to tag a run activity as a "warm up / down" (or "cool down" - whatever people call it), in a similar way to being able to tag a commute.

On race days, these usually end up as little 1-2 mile stop/start-type activities which you want to record (for mileage purposes) but add little to the your activity feed.

Additional thoughts:

• If the activity name could also be automatically updated to reflect this too that would be cool.
• Maybe an option to make these private by default (so other users don't kudos it)?

Thanks for submitting your idea to enable "warm up/cool down" as a tag option for activities. It has been reviewed by our moderation team and is now open to voting.

Here are a few related ideas I'd like to point out:

Expand/Collapse feed activities by athlete

Mute as Default option

Add custom “type of run” options

Hello and thank you to everyone who has taken the time to add your votes and comments to this request. 

We want to let you know that we do not intend to add more activity/sport types to Strava in the foreseeable future, and this feature suggestion will be moved to a status of not currently planned.

We appreciate and understand this is not the answer you were hoping for. We strive to be as transparent as possible and provide updates to our Community when they become available. 

Please remember that we receive a large number of idea submissions, and even some  popular ideas may not make it to the implementation stage. The number of votes an idea gets is one factor among several that’s considered when our product team develops the roadmap.

For more information, review our Guide to Ideas.

Additionally, a status of not currently planned does not mean this feature suggestion goes away. It will remain open to votes and comments, and may be revisited at some point in the future.

Lastly, we sincerely hope you will continue recording and uploading your activities to Strava. Here is a list of the Sport types that we currently support. It’s always an option to set your activity to sport type “workout” and indicate more specifics in the activity name.

Thanks again for your contributions.
