When I first heard about Strands.com a year ago and signed up I didn't have much time to give it much of a chance. One of the things Strands has going for it is that they offer almost anything you could think of with a running log. I have tried many running logs over the past 3 years and they all seem to be missing some key things that I would like to have. Strands has a few of those which I will mention later, but none of which I would consider to be core needs.
I have resurrected my Strands account and have given it another go at their request. This time I have spent much more time just getting to know the interface and checking out what it has to offer.
They have thought about almost everything. All the basics are there, the profile, the gear, the routes, and the ability to log your workouts and races. One of the pleasant surprises was how well the mapping utility works. I have tried this same feature on many sites and they are either clunky or just not very accurate.
