STRAVA has started 2020 with a bang. Two bangs, in fact, as they smash through the 3 billionth uploaded workout AND exceed the 50 millionth registered user.
The stock market chartists amongst you might well think that there is further growth to come and I would certainly agree.

However, with about 1 million new users each month we perhaps will not see the 60 millionth registered user until later this year.
STATETTES: In the last 12-14 months, monthly uploads have increased by 40% partly comprising 59% more activities from women, 46% more run activity uploads, and 41% more uploads from outside of the United States.
Impressive stuff
And here is a link to a feature from last year on STRAVA artists.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.
