How to Set a New Goal for Your Activities
If you oftenrun low on motivation to complete your workoutsor you need a better way to keep track of your efforts, you can set a new goal for your Strava activities. Or maybe you’re training for an event and want to make sure you’ll be ready. Either way, Strava can help you monitor your training.
On the Strava mobile app, you can find theGoalsfeature within theProgresstab. As long as you have an active Strava Premium subscription, the feature should be available. If it’s missing, try updating the app.
To add a new goal, tap on thePlus (+)icon. Now, you have to personalize your goal. You can choose one of the activities you’ve done before or try something new.
Alternatively, Strava allows you to combine your efforts. For example, any “off-road sport” such as hiking, trail running, or gravel riding will count towards your goal.
You can then set your goal frequency and type. You can choose to complete your goal by distance, time, or elevation. Once you’re done customizing it, tapSave Goal.
If you don’t want to go the same route every time while completing your goal, you can check outStrava’s global map feature.
How to Create a Segment Goal

Now, if you want to become the board leader, you can set up a segment goal. At the time of writing, this feature is available only on Strava for web. Here’s how you can set a segment goal:
Once you complete your goal, Strava will display it within your feed.
Who Can See Your Goals?
According to Strava, who can see your goals within your profile depends on the goal type. Segment and power goals can be seen by anyone visiting your profile. However, only your followers can see your weekly, monthly, or annual goals.
Set and Achieve Your Goals on Strava
Setting goals on Strava is an easy way to keep track of your progress even if you use the app for multiple activities. If you want to take your training and fitness to the next level, you might also want to try an AI fitness app. These apps can create a customized workout plan and program, depending on what you want to achieve.
