Athlete Intelligence: This is a Strava feature powered by AI (Artificial Intelligence), which analyzes and summarizes key points for subscribers.

=> New: The feature now integrates data from virtual races and rides, power insights, and segment analysis. Furthermore, it has now exited the beta phase. This decision was made based on specific criteria, such as similar positive feedback between running and cycling activities, as well as more accurate analyses with fewer errors.

Leaderboard Integrity: Strava has improved the quality of leaderboards by identifying unrealistic speeds, GPS errors, and other anomalies that could skew results. The goal is to ensure fair competition for all athletes by removing outliers and potential rule violations.

=> New: Every activity uploaded to Strava is now automatically analyzed by the machine learning model, which examines 57 different factors, such as speed and acceleration, to detect if a portion of the activity was recorded aboard a vehicle. If the system detects a vehicle, the activity is flagged, and the user is prompted to crop it or make it private. This technology will also be applied to prevent bike rides from appearing in running leaderboards and e-bikes in cycling leaderboards. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to ensure leaderboard fairness and reflect actual performance.

Off-Platform Flyover Sharing: Strava’s Flyover feature, a dynamic 3D map that allows replaying activities, now offers sharing options outside the app.

=> New: Subscribers can share their Flyover directly on Instagram Stories or via a shareable link on other platforms. To share a Flyover, simply click the “Share” button on the activity details page or the Flyover screen. A push notification will be sent once the video is ready. Longer activities may require more generation time. Flyovers are available for all GPS activities recorded on the subscriber’s profile, including past ones.

Progress Comparison: Subscribers can now compare their past performances side-by-side to track their improvements and evaluate their progress.

=> New: The progress summary chart now includes a comparison mode allowing athletes to compare their recent activities with different past training periods. This feature enables deeper analysis and a better understanding of performance trends.
