Strava is the social media of the running community. It uses GPS to map where you’ve been, calculate your running speed and provide you with split times should you make it beyond the first kilometre/mile (it’s bilingual like that).
Once you’ve become friends with other runners— Yeah, right!! —you can offer each other encouragement through the use of “Kudos”. The nearest equivalent to this in the wild is a Facebook “Like” and utilises a similar Thumb-based symbol to show the kudos.
Strava has both free and paid for levels and I’m led to believe that there are wonders available to the paid-for user. However, I’m jiggered (or should that be joggered?) if I can work out what you do with the extra stuff.

Stop advertising Pit Pat and cut your hedge.

Funny you should mention that, been hacking out Leylandii today.
I often describe my plans for the weekend to one of my colleaugues as “being middle-class and middle-aged”. I think getting my fucking hedge cut probably counts…

When I ran the Reigate HM in 2018, the sight of someone cutting their hedge was sufficient for me to sing ETABR, much to the general amusement/bemusement of all in the vicinity.
Talking of Strava, all of my runs, almost without exception, are titled after HMHB lyrics as opposed to the default ‘Afternoon Run’ or something that puts the run into context.

Strava is more popular amongst cyclists, and I think that’s the reference in this context.
