Strava gives you basic running stats, but serious runners need deeper insights. How does weather actually affect your pace? Which routes consistently produce your best performances? How do hills impact your effort across different seasons?
What I Built
I created RunSight Web —an open-source running analytics dashboard that transforms your Strava data into 10+ specialized insights while keeping your data completely under your control.
What it provides:
- Weather Impact Analysis - See exactly how temperature, humidity, and wind affect your performance
- Elevation Intelligence - Understand how hills impact your pace and effort
- Performance Trends - Track improvement over time with seasonal adjustments
- Location Intelligence - Identify your highest-performing routes and environments
- Privacy-First Architecture - Your data stays in your own database, forever
- Deep Dive Analysis - Dive into specific performance patterns and trends
How I Built It
I built this as a React/TypeScript application using a serverless architecture where you control your own data. The system deploys to your own Netlify account and stores data in your own Supabase database—no third-party access to your training information.
The architecture connects to Strava’s API to pull your historical runs, then enriches each run with weather data from OpenWeatherMap. All processing happens in your own infrastructure, ensuring complete privacy and data ownership.
How Does It Work
Once deployed to your own infrastructure, RunSight Web automatically syncs with your Strava account:
Data Collection:
- Pulls your complete Strava running history
- Enriches each run with historical weather data (temperature, humidity, wind, conditions)
- Filters out GPS errors and unrealistic data points automatically
- Stores everything in your private Supabase database
Analysis Engine:
- Weather Correlation - Identifies your optimal racing conditions and seasonal patterns
- Elevation Analysis - Calculates how hills affect your pace and heart rate response
- Performance Tracking - Monitors pace progression with seasonal and training load adjustments
- Route Optimization - Ranks your routes by consistent performance outcomes
- Personal Records - Tracks PRs across different distances and conditions
Insights Dashboard:
- Overview Tab - Key metrics and recent performance trends
- Performance Tab - Pace progression, consistency scores, and PR tracking
- Training Tab - Training load analysis and recovery patterns
- Environment Tab - Weather and elevation impact analysis
- Analysis Tab - Deep dives into specific performance patterns
