Strava's Instant Workouts: Big Idea, Rough Execution
Strava’s Instant Workouts aims to deliver five weekly workouts across four categories with auto route suggestions, leveraging Runna data and subscription access. In practice, the feature is hampered by wonky pace estimates (often based on outdated data), impractical route ideas (such as looping around a block), and a lack of push-to-device support, with Garmin/Apple integration promised but uncertain. It has real potential to differentiate Strava if it fixes routing accuracy and adds seamless device syncing.
