Run Activity Pages

Explore your Strava run activity page: overview, pace analysis, pace distribution, relative effort, heart rate, segments, laps, and editing tools available.

Overview

On the activity overview page, you will see information about your run and can perform basic functions. Runs that are tagged as Races are excluded.

  • On the upper right, you can share rides on Twitter, email, or your blog.

  • You can give and view comments and kudos. Clicking the relevant buttons at the top of the page will bring up the social lightbox.

  • On other athletes' activities, clicking the profile picture to the left of the page will bring you to the athlete's profile page.

  • Clicking Add a Description will bring up the Edit Activity dialog and allow you to add public or private ride notes to your activity.

  • Specific values that might need more explanation are also links to our Glossary; click Elapsed Time, Pace, etc., for relevant definitions.

  • You will also see your activity's top results if your run has achievements. The map display features all the functions you should be used to: the ability to zoom and go full screen, change the display type, and create a route for your activity.

The summary panel at the top of your activity is persistent across all views on the page, not just the Overview. Clicking the arrow at the top right of the display collapses the overview panel.

To the left of the map, you'll see a list of your run's splits and some basic information about each.

  • Hovering over a split in the list highlights the relevant portion of the map in blue and the elevation profile in dark gray.

  • Click a split to select it — this zooms the map to focus on the relevant area. Click that split again, or a different one, to release or change your selection.

  • Beneath the performance and elevation chart, you'll see toggles for each available parameter of the run.

Pace Analysis

Selecting Pace Analysis from the navigation panel gives you two options for an in-depth look at your run.

  • You can toggle between splits and laps if available. You'll see the elevation profile, split list, and map beneath your split graph, and hovering over or clicking splits produces the same behavior described above.

  • You can view a "smoothed" profile that tracks your pace and elevation throughout your run, along with your slowest, fastest, and average splits. Slide your cursor over the graph for a closer look at the curve of your pace, and keep an eye on your splits on the map below.

Pace Distribution

Selecting Pace Distribution from the navigation panel lets you view a breakdown of your run by pace zones. Use the provided link to change or update the race or time trial efforts these are based on.

Relative Effort

Relative Effort measures how much cardiovascular work went into any activity with heart rate data or Perceived Exertion. A short and hard activity can require just as much effort as a long and leisurely one, and Relative Effort makes it so you can compare the two. Different activity types are weighted so your efforts can be compared across sports, and your values are personalized to your heart rate zones so you can even compare with other athletes.

Heart Rate

Click Heart Rate from the navigation panel to view your run broken down by the amount of time spent in each of your heart rate zones, as well as your run's Relative Effort. Use the provided link to change or update the custom HR zones or max HR these are based on.

Segments

Selecting a segment from the navigation panel displays a list of segments matched to your run.

  • You can show any segments that have been hidden from the list.

  • From this list, you can star any segment.

  • Hovering over a segment produces the same behavior you saw when hovering over a split on the Overview or Analysis pages.

Clicking a segment opens a segment effort detail panel to the right of your list of segments (which shrinks over to the left).

  • From that panel, you can view your effort relative to the segment leaders or set a goal for that segment.

  • Click one of the links at the bottom right of the detail panel to leave your run page and visit the segment page to see the overall or filtered leaderboard.

  • Above the listed segments, the portion of your run represented by the segment is highlighted in blue on the map. The elevation profile to the right zooms in on that same portion, and you can see instantaneous statistics by mousing over. Click the X at the top right of the segment effort detail panel, or click the segment again in the list, to "unselect" it and return to the initial Segments view.

Laps

If your device records laps, select the option from the navigation panel to break the run down by lap.

  • Hover over a lap to see it highlighted in both the map and elevation profile; click to zoom in, and click again to "unfocus."

  • Mouse over the elevation profile to view instantaneous stats.

Edit

Select the pencil icon to change the title of your activity, sport, or run type; add tags; change map type; set your perceived exertion; or edit your gear. You can also manage your activity privacy controls and hide stats from your activity. You can add run notes in the description field, add private notes, and upload any photos you took during your run.
