To disconnect

  • On strava.com, open Settings, then My Apps, and choose Revoke Access next to the assistant.
  • Or disconnect from the assistant's own Connectors screen.

Good to know

  • Strava limits requests per minute and per day but doesn't publish the numbers.
  • Answers can differ from what the Strava app shows, for example Performance Predictions or Runna plans.
  • The assistant reads live data each time you ask, so you don't need to export anything.

Things to ask once it’s connected

  • “How has my weekly running volume changed over the last 12 weeks?”
  • “What were my best efforts this year, and when did I set them?”
  • “Which shoes have the most miles on them?”
  • “Compare my long runs this block with the same weeks last year.”

Pick your next race with it

Marathon Scout has its own free connector with dates, registration status and official results links for 2,000+ races. Add it next to Strava and your assistant can match your training to a race.

  • “Look at my last 12 weeks on Strava, then use Marathon Scout to find a spring marathon in my state or a neighbouring one that suits that training.”
  • “Based on my Strava best efforts, which Boston qualifying marathons on Marathon Scout fit a fall goal race?”
  • “Find a half marathon on Marathon Scout about eight weeks out, as a tune-up for the marathon I'm training for on Strava.”
