Exercise platform Strava announced a series of new features on October 22, 2026, to improve route planning, discovery, and navigation for outdoor activities, 9to5Mac reported. The update targets users participating in runs, hikes, and rides. [1]

According to 9to5Mac, the company is rolling out smarter search capabilities alongside offline enhancements. The update also expands route details by incorporating information shared by the community. [1]

These updates follow an expansion of Strava's strength training tools announced the previous week, 9to5Mac reported. Those earlier features included coach-designed guided workouts featuring live tracking for sets and reps. [1]

Strava was founded in 2009 by Mark Gainey, Michael Horvath, Davis Kitchel, Chris Donahue, Mark Shaw, and Pelle Sommansson, and operates from San Francisco, California. The internet service tracks physical exercise using GPS data, supports over 50 activity types, and uses a freemium business model. [2][3]
