Running - Ability to record interval runs

[daanvanderbeke]

I think that an amazing addition to Strava would be the addition of interval runs.

My idea is that when you click to record a run, you have the ability to choose to record a normal run or an interval run. That way, before you start your run, you could add intervals and when running you can completely focus on that instead of constantly looking at the time. Similarly like the sounds you get when entering a segment, you would hear a 'noise' to indicate the start of your interval. In addition to that, maybe the Strava voice could tell you what interval you're starting (for example, what heart zone you need to be in, what pace you have to run, ...).

I think this would be a great addition, because now when I'm doing intervals I'm constantly looking at my watch (and often forget my intervals).

If you like this idea, make sure to like it 🙂

Many runners use the run:walk method and this would be a great feature

could not agree more. I tried to do an interval workout yesterday with Strava. It was a total failure. When I got back to analyze my run, all I could see was my ridiculously high per mile pace because of the slower pace rest breaks. I mean, I knew that was gonna happen, but I had an idea that somehow when I got back to the analysis page I’d be able to sort it out. I was not.

I just downloaded the app and this is the only thing I need as a new runner. Wont be using the app until it has it. Looking for something else that can do basic functionality like this. My family uses the app but it won't work for me until this feature exists. Agree with the other comments re map my run..thats the app to have until this is addressed.
