King Of Mountain.. fastest time for an uphill segment..

haha no.. it'll be interesting to watch it develop though.. I reckon strava will work well in the popular places like dark peak..

I genrally don't target any hills and just run my run.. but realised I was a long way off a guy using strava who used the name 'X pretty boy Y'.. professional boxer who you had to request to follow (which I haven't..).. seemed a bit full of it.. so took his KOM.. I'm awaiting a response..

It looks early days for Strava usage for fellrunners but it'll only get busier I think. Not everyone will be out there buying GPSs but as they'll be getting more common on phones there will be a few more using them.

Do you get a message then if someone beats your KOM? I took one and the guy sent me a nice note that evening. I'll be out tonight targetting a couple more. :-)

Segments - the 'auto-segment' feature is a pain in the arse and they should really get rid of it - I keep on having to delete segments I make during orienteering events, as they're never going to get run again (and they're also pitifully slow!). Also, calling the ascent of Sandy Heys 'A57 Climb' strikes me as bordering on sacrilege!

Can I put in a plea for people to rename their segments to something recognisable so that we don't get endless "Mountain View Climbs"

Yeah,. you get 'uh uhh X just stole your CR for win hill direct'

I just did a quality segment.. need to upload it.. probably the most famous 100ft of running in the world..

Love using it!

Gutted today though when I got back from a run and I didn't lock my phone, so it paused the run very early into it.

Luckily I could add the run manually, minus the elevation and segments....not a complete failure!

Can't see myself running/cycling without it now!

My segment existed.. rocky's steps at Philly art museam.

But its 100m long.. I did 20 seconds.. leader is 3 seconds.. next 12,then 13,15 etc etc.. 3-12 seconds is some gap..

3 seconds seems a tad sus...

I quite fancy giving them names like rock climbs. "Brewing up with Morley Wood" is my all time favourite.

3 seconds?! Maybe they were shot out of a cannon.

[MickTor]

I'm plotting some segments to run! mwuahahaha..
Was nice to see other people running my local, and that theyre faster.. on record!
Is there a league with those having the most KOMs?!
Strava for speed walking?!
