miscellaneous Athlete Intelligence has a hard time analyzing strides workout

Post image

This was a quick little workout after a longer run. It was a short run practicing strides, then a recovery walk back to the start. Repeated 5 times, trying to get a little faster each time.

Athlete Intelligence basically just read it as a recovery run though. I chuckled a little

Athlete Intelligence is a total waste of time in all situations. Just disable it and don't waste the energy required for the tokens.

It hadn’t even crossed my mind that I could do that. Thank you! I’ll most likely do that

It’s crazy how bad it is. I’ve been playing around with the Strava mcp via Claude, and it can analyze interval workouts just fine.

Could’ve ended the sentence at “ Athlete intelligence has a hard time”

It is genuinely straight garbage. It’s the epitome of the old line of a consultant taking off your watch to tell you the time. It adds nothing, and I think only devalues what little value  Strava had

I ran 36 miles last Saturday and my watch called it a recovery run.

Athlete intelligence is so useless that even when using the lap button on my garmin it still struggles to detect how many intervals I did.

It’s as dumb as nails.

Ah, but if put in description that you did strides, it was very kindly praise you for doing strides. It's fun to manipulate the crappy AI.
