I usually load my data in from a garmin watch for accuracy, particularly for runs. I'm more concerned with my running segments as I can get CRs/KOMs on runs. No chance on a ride with pro peloton locking out the local segments, bottom third if I'm lucky! It's nice when it tells you you've improved your effort on a segment from last time.

If you want a K.O.M. on a Strava segment, strap your phone to a remote control car, fire up Strava, and let it rip (up a hill section is best) et voila guaranteed K.O.M. Either that, or do what most of the Stravanaut clowns round my way do, get an electric bike, then swear blind that you really did 28 mph up a 20% climb, on an unpowered bike.
