Hi guys,
I did post something similar on another forum but thought to maximise my chance of finding fellow runners from my neck of the woods, I'd post here too.
I have only recently started using strava, previously I used mapmytracks, and strava does everything the former did, yet adds a fantastic competitive aspect (I'm sure you know how it works)
The only problem is, people have to add 'segments' and run them for me to try and beat etc and no-one from wakefield/barnsley area seems to have done so.
I am just writing this to see if anyone from this area fancies downloading this app and trying it out, it would certinaly spur me on!!!
Many Thanks,
Paul.

I use Starva and many colleagues do too but we're down in Luton!
I have tried to look for runs on Strava while I'm away on business but not enough people are using it yet. It is building up though. Some are put off by having thier times, pace etc available for all to see but I think it's great. Four of us can do the same run at different times and compare details.
The more we talk about it the more people will use it. I'm in my fifties so not fast but I don't mind sharing my times. Even the disastrous Milton Keynes 1/2 marathon (2hr 10Mins) time went on Strava!
What a great idea. Ran a segment this morning got a second and I was unsure which way to go. Tomorrow I'm going for the cr!
I'm a mid pack runner and it's given me a boost.
Anyone in the Oldham area download it and give it a try! I love the competition on those segments I hate losing a CR. Quite good at the moment because there are only about 4 of us using it near me and we are all very close.

I don't know him but I hope he rises to the challenge.
Strava should email you if you lose the cr.
Hi,
I currently use mapmyrun but it doesn't see to be the most accurate - how does everyone find Strava?
