🔥 Hot ▲ 114 r/Strava

For those without subscription - how long are you sticking with Strava?

I’m a long time user - probably 10+ years now. Mostly tracking running but occasionally bike rides etc.

I don’t pay for premium because the basic features work for me. I’m ok with new features being gated but more and more the regular used to be free features are restricted.

Recently, after a race I was checking the app and realized now Best Efforts are gated too. It shows my race was my third best effort but I have no way of checking what’s my second or first!

For those without subscription what are we doing? Are we just sticking around hoping the basic functionality won’t be taken away? How long are you gonna let this go on 🥲

Kubos alternatives - recommendations?

I've climbed in the kubos for years and years now. Have gotten it even resoled 2x.

However, the last couple years I've gotten into long distance running more seriously which has made my foot expand (I've also sized 0.5-1 size on my regular street shoe). This means my 41EU sized kubos now hurt like crazy. I basically have to take them off after every climb attempt even if it was just a couple seconds.

I haven't shopped for shoes in awhile (just been resoling this) and I alternate between Kubos and Solution for a more aggressive shoe. However, I want to replace my kubos since I don't use my solutions all the time (depends on the climb). The stores near me (and a quick search) shows 41 is the biggest size in the women's verison of the kubos. I'm debating either doing 41.5 in the men or maybe even 42??.

But since I'm shopping, wanted to see if there's any newer alternative to kubos that you all enjoy. Or if you have big feet like me - what do you do? Do you buy men's?
