Add Additional Tags/Categories (workout/race/etc) to additional Activity Types (Swim, Skiing, Etc)

[dsm1891]

As a user who takes part in events and trains swimming, I would like the ability to change the activity type to workout/race.  So that I can better describe what type of activity it was.

Currently, you can only mark a swim activity with the commute activity type (who is commuting via swimming?!). It would be great if you could describe your activity as doing drills (and hence speed will be significantly slower), or race so I can accurately find it in my timeline/Calander.

In the details section under "Type of Run," there should be an Easy Run or Recovery Run category in addition to Workout, Race, Long Run, and Commute.  While coaches and researchers suggest the majority of running miles should be "easy" or "recovery" miles, Strava cannot categorize a run under that label.  It would be beneficial to track these types of runs for oneself, as well as signal to followers what the purpose of the run is.  (This could also be helpful for cycling, but I have limited experience with the structure of cycling training.)

As a user, I want to indicate that I paced a run activity, so I can see it in my training log and activity summary and detail.

• Add as an optional flag (like ‘Commute’) in the Run Type options so I can still indicate the type of run (Race, Workout, etc…)
• Show a ‘Pacer’ badge over the activity map when the flag is on.
• In the activity search screen, add an option to filter by Paced activities.

This could easily be generalized for all activity types (eg Bike, Swim, etc…)

This would also benefit beginner cyclist with pedal cadence.

Hi, I'm Bruce from Karkloof, South Africa. Before saving, when finalising a Mountain eBike ride I see that the "Ride Type" drop down box only gives a "Commute" option. There should also be "Ride", "Workout" and "Race" options as for an anologue mountain bike ride. I don't happen to use my eBike to commute at all.

Chiming in with all the others to support adding "workout" and "race" to open water swimming. Who in the heck decided that commuting should be the only option for open water swimming?

[JontyGordon]

I take part in e-bike enduros (mountain bike) as well as cyclocross and criterium races. I can categorise the two latter rides as races but not when I race in my e-bike, the only alternative option is commute. 

Please add RACE to e-bike rides

Similar to another suggestion to allow User-defined tagging. The "Types" (sub-types) of activities should be increased, or more powerfully, let users define their own subtypes. This would applly to every activity.

E-Mountain Bike training should have the options for race/workout. Especially with the growing numbers of e-mountain bike events internationally. Also, since e-mountain bikes riders numbers are growing, especially here in the United States they should have the same display options as regular mountain bikes. Only listing "commute" for the display option lessens the value and diminishes the subscription value. As if we're only using out bikes to run errands.

I see that this idea is "Open to voting", but I can't see where I can cast a vote. Anyhow, I would very much like the "Race" option for open water swimming.

Is this request still active? For swimming, the only activity type is still only commute.

Under the Type of Activity drop down menu for walking the only option is “Commute” There should be other options like Fitness, Recreation, Leisure, etc
