App Update - 2/21 - link Strava activities to runs, view past events, mention other users, and more!!!

Hey everyone!!

Today we have released version 1.7.10 of the app (make sure to update to the latest version to see all these cool things in the app)! LETS GOO!

After taking in feedback from thousands of you via our Product Vote, feature requests, and speaking with you at in person runs we have made some major enhancements to the app. Here is what is included!

Spoiler alert - all three features from Product Vote #1 have been included in this release!!

Ok lets dive in!

Linking Strava activities to Endorphins Runs

This was a huge one from Product Vote #1!! Over 40% of members asked to have this built! And it is now live in the latest version of the app!

When you attend an Endorphins run we have built a matching algorithm that detects whether your Strava activity map matches the route of the Endorphins run! If you've RSVP'd to the event and the activity matches, you will receive a badge on the event and you will get points on the leaderboard!

More details:

- You must be RSVP'd to an event

- You need to have your Strava connected to the app

- We have built a matching algorithm that can detect if your activity is at an Endorphins run!

- If auto detection does not map your activity to the run, you can manually link it!

- Linking activities to Endorphins runs will earn you (a lot) of points on the leaderboard!

Tagging / Mentioning Users in the app!

Over 44% of members requested to have this feature built!! It was the most requested feature from Product Vote #1 and it is included in todays release of the app!! LETS GO!

In both posts and comments you can type the "@" sign to mention other members. If you've been mentioned you will receive a notification

View Past Events & Who You Ran With!

This feature just made sense from Product Vote 1!

Now when you click on the events tab inside of your city, you can see a list of upcoming and past events. This way you can see who you ran with at Endorphins runs!

Training Optimizations!!

We now have several hundred users off of the training waitlist using the app to prepare for upcoming races. Your feedback has been so incredible and we have gone to work to improve the training experience based on your suggestions! Our training technology now supports over 6 million plan variations and the tech is getting super sophisticated to support your personalized training needs!
