Strava question

[Davos87]

I use strava regularly after downloading the free app . Noticing people posting their rides, times, climbs etc have calories burnt info. Do you only get this facility if you subscribe to the premium strava? The free one I use doesn't appear to have it?

Yes - the estimation feature is there with the standard membership. Have you inputted your weight on your profile? Maybe Strava needs this before it can estimate calories burned?

No the free one does have it but you need to enter your weight in your profile for it to calculate this. Also I would take the calories figure with a pinch of salt and take off at least 10 % off for a reasonable estimate. Also there is s Cycle Chat club on there

Silly me. That's what I need to do. Thanks for the swift reply...much appreciated

And if you have not seen it yet there is a Strava thread in General cycling discussion http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/silly-strava-racing.102046/
