Strava announced a Connected Apps experience with Google Gemini for subscribers, allowing users to connect their accounts and uncover new insights from their running data. A major update brought AI Performance Prediction to subscribers, requiring at least 20 tracked activities before it can begin. The integration personalizes answers based on Strava data, enabling users to ask questions like if they are "getting faster at the same heart rate." Gemini can break down racing performance per mile and compare heart rate and speed across volume, consistency, and sport mix.
Users can also query if weather or their body caused sluggishness. The feature is available for all Gemini plans this week in the U.S. Subscribers can connect via Personal Intelligence in Gemini > Strava (in Connected Apps) > Sign In. The Strava app previously featured Athlete Intelligence, now out of beta, which interprets non-GPS activities like treadmill running and cycling power, comparing pace to other times on the same route.
Recent AI Performance Predictions estimate 5K, 10K, and half/full marathon times based on user background.
