Since I had created a video for it, I figured why not share it here as well?

Potentially Popular New Strava Monthly Challenges
The Strava platform has a bunch of monthly challenges that makes things fun for users. For example, run 100, 200, or 300 km, or walk 50 km, or cycle numerous distances. These are great! However, I am surprised they are missing some that are not only beneficial for users, popular from science backings in at least Western culture, and just systematically to be comparable across activities. I have listed some below and hope Strava will add them as I don’t think they would be hard to add, considering there are already algorithms for some similar challenges in place, so it should just a matter of switching the limits. For other challenges, there is other data available from fitness apps that Strava takes into account for other calculations, like # of steps for average stride length calculations, so it’s a matter of the new data totals and a limit, or two changes, to existing algorithms, to create new challenges that would be fun and beneficial beyond fun for users!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Part 3 of 3)
The changes keep happening to my life as shown in this third and final of three posts documenting it all, to keep the posts reasonably short. At least that’s all I have, or have planned, for now. This set mostly go back to my running, with a two week lockdown from a COVID outbreak as a forced change in my life, to go with my deliberate changes.
