It has just arrived on Strava and it could be one of the big news of the year: this new feature offers personalized routes and workouts near you

Strava continues to evolve far beyond simple activity tracking. The platform has globally launched its new Instant Workouts feature, a tool that analyzes the user's training history to recommend personalized sessions and routes based on their goals. This novelty is already available for cyclists, in addition to over 40 other sports, and its card-based interface is very user-friendly.

Strava takes a step further towards guided training with its new Instant Workouts

The idea is to provide immediate guidance to those who want to maintain consistency, improve their fitness, or return to sports after a break, without the need to follow complex plans or use external applications.

Instant Workouts directly relies on the history that the user has already uploaded to Strava. The more recorded activity, the more refined the suggestions will be, both in terms of training type and intensity or duration.

The system allows users to choose from four main approaches:

• Maintain fitness
• Build or improve physical condition
• Explore, with proposals aimed at discovering new routes
• Recover, with gentler sessions after demanding efforts

In sports that require routes, such as cycling or running, Strava automatically generates a route using its well-known Heatmap, which shows where the community typically moves.

Additionally, Strava has confirmed that it will soon be possible to send these recommended workouts to devices such as Apple or Garmin watches, reinforcing its integration with the wearable ecosystem.

One of the most interesting aspects is that Strava does not just tell you "what to do," but explains why it recommends each workout, helping the user understand how that session fits into their recent history. A clearly educational approach aimed at users who want to learn to train better, not just accumulate kilometers.
