One of the very best apps around, and one that may well need no introduction, Strava is, frankly, somewhat of a sensation.

The app itself is free, and offers a whole load of features like segments, ride tracking, challenges and more without you having to pay a penny. But there’s also a premium subscription-based version where you can get training plans, set goals, power analysis and downloadable GPX route files.

Part of the attraction of Strava is that the app, available on iOS and Android, is just as enjoyable to use for fun as it is as a serious training tool. Whether you just want to jostle for the top place on a segment during your commute, or use it to plan your training for a big summer sportive, there’s pretty much something for everyone.
