I think adding Meditation as an activity type will be great for Strava. 

This is important because:

  • Meditation helps athletes calm their mind and improve mental health before big races
  • Strava can partner with guided meditation apps like Calm or Headspace to send directly to the activity feed like Peloton/Zwift
  • As an incentive and benefit for subscribers, Strava can give free access to Calm/Headspace/Tara Brach/Sam Harris specifically for endurance athletes. Headspace has partnered with Nike. 
  • Meditation activity can be set to private to respect athletes and athletes can choose if they want to make it public by opting in.

An example of when I would want this feature is every morning. I try to take one deep breath every day and would do it more often if I saw that my friends are doing it too. And I'm interested to know who they follow and which guided sessions they use. Thank you Strava! 

Follow me on Strava!
Next Race: Malibu Half (11/5/23)
