Why air quality matters

The air you train in shapes how you perform

Runners, cyclists, and endurance athletes push their bodies harder than most, which means they're taking in more of whatever's in the air around them too.

AirTrack in use
10–20×

More air through your
lungs per minute running
than sitting still.

~1.5%

Slower race times
for runners training
in higher PM2.5.

46%

Of the world lives where
PM2.5 eats into the health
benefits of exercise.

Up to 30%

Lower exposure on the same run,
just by shifting your route or your
start time. That's the part you control.

How it works

From your workout to your air quality, automatically

1

Sign up for free

AirTrack securely connects to Strava. You authorise the connection once. AirTrack only requests the permissions it needs to read your activities.

2

See your activity automatically

As soon as you save a run, ride, or walk in Strava, AirTrack picks it up, no need to open the app.

3

Get cleaner routes and times

Over time, AirTrack learns which routes and times tend to be cleanest, and suggests better options for next time.

How to set up the integration

Set up once, in under two minutes

No separate device, no complicated configuration. Here's exactly what to do.

01
What do the Strava permissions mean and what data do you access?

When you connect AirTrack to Strava, we need to access certain fields to be able to work properly.

View data about your public profile

This permission is required to connect AirTrack to Strava. Without this, AirTrack will not be able to connect to your Strava activities. However, you can still use the AirTrack app independently

View data about your activities

This permission is required to work out where and when the activity took place, to calculate air quality information. Without this, AirTrack will not be able to calculate air quality information for your Strava activities. However, you can still use the AirTrack app independently

View data about your private activities

This permission allows AirTrack to calculate air quality information for private activities. You can deselect this option, but we can't calculate air quality information for private activities. Public activities will be processed

Upload your activities from Air Aware Labs to Strava

This permission is required for AirTrack to update the description box with air quality information. We can't update your Strava activity with air quality information without this permission

If you wish to revoke access, go to the settings page in Strava and scroll down to Air Aware Labs, and click Revoke Access. Alternatively, you can disconnect from Strava under Settings in the AirTrack app. This mean you will need to record activities within AirTrack app in order to get your air quality data.

01
How does it work with the Strava description box?

If you have signed up to Strava integration and record your routes on Strava, we deliver air quality information to the description box in your Strava feed.

You can also put other text in the description box. We take whatever is in that box and append air quality data information when the activity is processed. You can add additional text to the description box for each activity, whether to include more context, specify conditions, or note particular observations.

There are no clashes with other apps such as Bandok.

If you only want us to access public activities, please untick "View data about your private activities" when you connect your account, we only receive information about your public activities and will only annotate those ones - we can't view or access your private activities.

On the other hand, if you do want air quality data in your private activities, please tick "View data about your private activities" when you connect your account.

From April 2026, Premium users have the option of changing the level of detail in their Strava feeds.

No - only new activities that you create in Strava after connecting to AirTrack will sync.
