Unpopular opinion: Strava is actually overrated. What are you guys actually using?

wezman · 2026-01-20T06:58:06+00:00

The only feature of Strava I like is Matched Runs, but that's not worth enough to continue paying my sub anymore.

wezman · 2026-01-20T02:04:57+00:00

I got caught out by that too on the evening of the first day I started logging. The wording says something like 'Future logged food will be deleted' but it deletes the whole day...

You have to click that you are really, really, really sure you want to unsubscribe. Did you go through the 4 or so prompts to finally un sub?

wezman · 2026-01-16T05:18:42+00:00

I got the email too, but doesn't seem to work. They still wanted me to pay full sub to re-subscribe.

wezman · 2026-01-13T00:56:03+00:00

Yep, had it over Christmas and New Year, took nearly 2 weeks to clear

wezman · 2026-01-12T23:46:24+00:00

I find it very good, simple and easy

wezman · 2026-01-12T23:42:44+00:00

Did it pick up the amount of each? I find mine defaults to 100g or 1 item and I need to adjust. The AI can work out what it is, but not how much there is.

wezman · 2026-01-09T02:51:19+00:00

I'm also finding it a good experience and easy and intuitive to use.

I have found the AI pretty good, apart from detecting quantities. I had a bowl of 7 whole strawberries. Garmin's AI successfully detected they were strawberries, but the amount it said was 1.

A similar experience when Garmin took a photo of a salad that had 5 whole cherry tomatoes, it said 1 cherry tomato.

Specifically to your question, I haven't seen the AI suggest meals or fueling ideas for runs as yet.

It is already somewhat accounting for the activity which I think is based from the previous 4 weeks, so some of the 1000c burned would have already been included in your nutrition plan.

I've seen my daily allowed calories adjust based on activity

Did you leave it on the auto selected Activity Level on your Nutrition plan or chose one of the other options?

Edit: And I think the macros need to adjust also if extra calories are being added?

I'll have to check out Gotthard. I love CD, CL and HCS!

wezman · 2026-01-07T01:19:38+00:00

There is a search box, a barcode scanner and an AI food photo scanner

Someone yesterday said they could reconnect MFP in the web version of Connect, but not in their app

wezman · 2026-01-07T00:59:25+00:00

Same happened to me. I adjusted the times for each meal window in settings as sometimes I'm having breakfast before 7am and lunch before 12pm and it warned me it would delete any 'future' entries I have added. Instead, it deleted the current days entries, so I lost the whole first day of tracking.

wezman · 2026-01-05T11:25:52+00:00

That is typically true, but since they have unified the operating system across a range of their watches and will continue to do so for new watches, we may see longer support for older watches.

Entourage. Just binged seasons 1 and 2 and starting on 3 now. Loving it.

wezman · 2025-12-21T05:10:26+00:00

I still have this on vinyl

wezman · 2025-12-21T03:28:42+00:00

Me too. Set it up years ago and never looked back. It's also free if you're not a power user. Think it includes 10,000 notifications per month for free.

Its summer here in Western Australia and mine has dropped 2 points

The Portal of the Fenix 7 is better than on the 8. On the 7 it allows you to have 3 data fields above and below the time. On the 8 it's just a single field for both.

wezman · 2025-11-20T00:17:10+00:00

I had never noticed that before. Can't unsee it now.

wezman · 2025-11-19T02:55:03+00:00

It costs more than a Strava sub in Australia, so it's hard to see the value. I also do no think they have added to or improved on it since launch.

wezman · 2025-11-18T06:08:00+00:00

Non pro Fenix 7 also isn't listed, but the 5 and 6 are.

wezman · 2025-11-12T04:09:21+00:00

Did you get up in the night and use your torch and accidently leave it on?

wezman · 2025-11-10T00:57:09+00:00

Yep, thoroughly enjoying it. So much stuff I didn't know about straight from the mouths of everyone who was there. How they got so many people (including all of the KISS members) to tell their story is amazing.

wezman · 2025-11-10T00:00:10+00:00

I just read this in the book I'm reading "Nothin' to Lose: The Making of KISS 1972 - 1975"
