There needs to be an update of various levels for climbing (as has previously been done with distance challenges) in the cycling monthly challenges as 7,500m can be done without any real effort depending on your location.
@MattW5 you may not call it sensitive, but I am. I just wish Strava would bring back 1250 km distance challenge and even more, so that other users can enjoy the app. As I wrote before, Strava shouldn't have removed it, but simply add 600K, 800K or whatever. There should be challenges for everyone not only for those that are not able to cycle more.
Please bring back 200k and 300k running achievements. I've been only doing 100k running for a few years and I have only achieved the 200k once but it has always been something that motivated me. Not having the achievement makes my motivation to run suffer. I'm still going to try to improve but the role Strava plays in my workouts would lessen. I let it slide this year when the time came to renew my subscription - so it automatically updated. Next time I'll remember this problem and will likely take the effort to cancel the auto-renewal. I will still use Strava as a non-paid member.
Put the 200k and 300k monthly running challenges back. Why have you removed them? They’re supposed to be a challenge, that’s the whole point. It feels like you’re dumbing down on them and getting rid of any which might be “challenging”.
@stravamh strava cycling challenges for February are weak. Not even going to bother signing up for 200 and 600k. I'm sitting on the 27th of the month at 1396km and 17000m of climbing. Nothing to cater to the fitter riders and runners.
I suppose inclusivity is great when you exclude a particular group of people. 👍🏻
I seem to have been merged into this chain from a different one (for the fifth time) so I’ll repeat my comment.
this change is a retrograde step which benefits nobody and annoys many loyal subscribers for no obvious reason.
Strava admins - this is becoming less about the badges (which may seem silly to you, but as these comments attest are part of the gamification that has made Strava a success and has pushed us outside on days when we would rather stay in bed) but more about your ability/willingness to listen to the community that is Strava
If we had monthly running challenges for set distances I think it would be a great motivator for the vast amount of runners that use Strava to record runs.
I also feel that not listening to community feedback might put Strava in a tough position if and when a good competitor comes along. Or at the very least, subscriptions might fall, due to the poorer app experience for the majority
