Strava/Fitness apps.

[MR. Macabre 666]

I just downloaded Strava after a friend recommended it to me saying she's surprised I've not got it.

I instantly love it and regret not getting it years ago.
Anyone else use a anything like this and what sort of stuff do you do?

The longest walk I've done while I've had the app is 16 miles with an elevation gain of 2100 feet.

I don't really time how long the walks take me because I normally stop to take photos and sometimes send my drone up in the air for photos so I'm not in any rush.

Some guy at my climbing gym told me there's challenges you can do on different routes and he was like 5th in the world at cycling up a notoriously steep hill in the area which is impressive.
I've just hit 40 and my fitness levels aren't that insane so I don't think I'll be breaking any records myself but I still love the concept that there's all these obscure records out there waiting for challengers.

(Bold mine)

Nope. My fitness regimen is pretty primitive - I move around a lot and lift heavy things. That about covers it.

I did the same thing for 35+ years until my body started breaking down.
