Canadian pro triathletes on Strava

Strava, you may have heard of it? Since being founded in 2009, the app has become the Facebook for runners, cyclists and triathletes. Like most social media apps, the professionals have gotten hooked on Strava. This gives fans and aspiring athletes the access to their favourite pros.

We triathletes are a different breed, so there are a few do’s and don’ts when on Strava. But, for the most part, this app is a great way to monitor your training, the pros, and your local competition.

Other than following your favourite Canadian pro triathlete on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, there is no real way to analyze their training or races, other than Strava. Unfortunately, some of our top triathletes don’t have Strava or rarely post. However, there are a select few that do and are worth following.
