Strava alternative? (self.opensource)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by LazerDickMcCheese to c/[email protected]
 

I need to track cardio with terrain data, but I'd rather not trust Strava with my privacy. I know there are some alternatives, but which one is the most reliable and feature-rich? I don't have smart accessories, just and android phone. Preferably, I'd like an app that let's me track added weights for calorie purposes (like rucking).

If you are serious about training, Training Peaks is probably a great alternative. Strava is the Facebook of activity apps so not really great if you're committed. There is a free plan for TP, but I'm not sure what the limitations are... I pay for it and can track the history of the key metric that matter to me such Power, Heart Rate, Training Zones, Freshness, Power bands etc. There are a LOT of analytical graphs to provide insights into your progress. The key is the more data you collect, the more value there is. i.e. Sleep tracking, weight, HRV, cadence etc.
