As a Strava User (maybe Subscriber?) that enjoys trying out different training criteria
And has just finished an activity
I want the ability to specify my own tags (e.g. 20-tooth, baby-seat, red-socks)
So that I can report on activities with my specified tags and further personalize my training experience

Save/Edit Activity with User Tags (20-tooth and baby-seat, etc):

When training up for various races, I do different kinds of runs which I’d like to be able to track. Currently, the options I have are Race, Long Run, and Workout.

With this feature, I’d like to have the ability to set up custom types of run to better track the kind of workout run I did. For example, with this feature, I would track the following types:

  • Base / Easy
  • Recovery
  • Tempo
  • Intervals
  • Progression
  • Fartlek
  • Track

Long term, we can then use this data to quantify how much time we are spending in each run type which can then help determine over-training or just spending too much time in a specific type of workout.

Especially a generic "interval" type would be helpful to distinguish the (reason for a particular) performance in my opinion. I know intervals can be considered a workout, but I'd prefer to be more specific.

In addition, the checkbox for "commute" may be expanded with options such as marking a walk as "leisure" (when meandering with friends or family and not going for a pure point A to B walk) or "running errands" (not a commute, but walking from store to store, going for groceries or the pharmacy, etc).

Can we please have more "type of run" like "Recovery" "EasyRun" "Fartlek" "Tempo" "Park Run".

I do some easy Z2 runs from time to time and I would like to add "Easy Run" for example. 👍🏻

Hello everyone,

As a runner often participating in races, I decided recently to sign up as a volunteer for a few local running and walking events. The last time I volunteered at a 10k Walking event. Together with a fellow volunteer we were walking after the last contender and our task was to remove all the signs indicating the path. It was a great experience as I've met interesting people and made new acquaintances. It felt like giving something back to the running and walking community, as so many events rely mostly on the work of volunteers.

I've read and heard from many people that after the pandemic it became harder to find volunteers for sporting events, running included. I was wondering if it would be helpful to include a "Volunteering" among other type of runs, such as "Race", "Workout", "Long run", "Commute". It could help promote the volunteering and inspire other athletes to consider doing that.

Thank you very much for your attention!

With best regards,
Andy

Agree!  Sure is nice as a Subscriber to pull up the Training Log and be able to utilize the coloring/size of workout Circles to review and track training and races!  Similarly virtual rides/runs/walks/hikes/paddleboarding/kayaking/etc should get the same tags!!!   

For workouts keep the dashed lines... maybe some of thers just highlight the outside of the circle?  I mainly would like the Recovery tag option and a destinction of at least "Intervals/Speedwork" and "Threshold/Tempo" Workout runs.

I don't mean to be the grumble bum, but I've just renewed my subscription (again) and I wonder why.  A simple, but very useful request like this one has not been progressed.  None of my previous requests were ever actioned. Why do we bother? Grumble over, but I still have £50 of grumble left in the pot!

Yes this seams like a “quick fix” to implement. 🤷🏼

I was wondering how many people would be interested in an Easy Run or Recovery run option under the type of run drop-down. I would love to see all of my recovery runs and easy runs on the training log. If you select race as an option it colors it bright red as a dot on your log, but recovery or easy run could be a light blue or any other color to show that it was an easy run. Not every run is a workout or a long-run so i would just like to see them portrayed on my training log as the color of what they are

I had a similar idea this past weekend while volunteering to do trail maintenance. It would be great to further engage the Strava community, promote stewardship, and highlight the great work being done to maintain and expand access to the places we love to be active.

Additionally,  it was brought to my attention that many races are now requiring volunteering time as part of registration. One of the fellow volunteers was fulfilling his Trail Work requirement for the Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Run.

In addition to there being a "Volunteer" tag for certain activities, perhaps it would be easier and most likely, more applicable to all sports and not just running and cycling to have a specific Volunteer colored map (similar to the current heart rate, temperature, surface type, etc).

Please add the ability to create custom tags, like those that currently exist for “commute” and “training.” 

Like 4.5 million others in the US, I am employed in the outdoor recreation industry and ski, bike, and hike for work daily. These cannot be tagged as “commute” because these are not activities that take me from home to work, they occur once I am already at work and on the clock. I would like to be able to tag these activities as “work” to help distinguish from the outdoor activities I complete in my free time. It would also help if I could create tags for the different places I work, and others may like to create tags for specific events, trips, or the organization or pet you did the activity with. 

TL;DR: Please let us creat our own tags
