Reliable evidence met the target. No shortfall charge.
Provider accountability
Turn your Strava activity into a commitment
Strava records what you did. Mavlo adds accountability for what you said you would do. Connect Strava, choose running, cycling or swimming, set a supported target, and Mavlo uses eligible recorded activity to verify whether the commitment was met. Manual entries are excluded, and uncertain evidence receives grace.

Verified data
Mavlo checks evidence, not a self-reported tick.
Strava→Eligible activity→One evaluator→Clear result
Reliable positive evidence completes progress. If data is missing, late or uncertain, Mavlo uses grace instead of treating uncertainty as a chargeable miss.
Recorded, matching evidence
The sport, measure and commitment window must match.
A Strava commitment is specific to running, cycling or swimming and to a supported measure such as distance, moving time or Zone 2 moving time. Eligible matching activities combine toward an ordinary weekly target.
Manually entered Strava activities do not count. An activity outside the commitment window, in a different sport or without the evidence needed for the chosen measure cannot be assumed eligible.
Example: 15 kilometres of running each week
A member could set a 15-kilometre running target for 8 weeks. A 5 km eligible run and a 10 km eligible run in the same commitment week combine to complete it; a ride or manual run does not.
Mavlo shows recorded progress and the distance remaining. The evaluator checks the complete stored-timezone window before deciding whether the week is complete, incomplete or grace.
A Challenge uses one activity in one rolling 24-hour window.
A Strava Challenge can target complete distance, moving time, Zone 2 or a time trial. Unlike a weekly total, one eligible activity must meet the full target before the 24-hour deadline.
If the exact window cannot be verified, the Challenge closes without a fee. A chargeable miss still receives the same review and dispute safeguards as a weekly commitment.
Mavlo reads bounded Strava evidence for verification.
The authorised connection can provide activity type, distance, duration, date, activity identifier and, where the activity has one, route or GPS data. Mavlo uses connected data for setup, progress, verification, review and support—not advertising or data sales.
A late edit, deletion or sync can affect the available record. Do not rely on an activity until it appears as verified progress in Mavlo. If the final evidence remains incomplete or uncertain, that uncertainty is not used to prove a chargeable miss.
You control the connection.
Strava access is user-authorised and can be disconnected in Mavlo or through Strava. Disconnecting stops future access, but it can also prevent an active commitment from receiving new evidence.
Strava connection availability may be constrained while Mavlo’s athlete capacity is limited. The product should show the current state rather than promise immediate access.
Trust and privacy
A result should be clear before money moves.
Complete evidence shows the verified shortfall. Review comes first.
Evidence is missing or uncertain. No charge while Mavlo cannot know.
- You choose the target and maximum shortfall amount.
- A dispute pauses settlement immediately.
- Current launch policy resolves every submitted dispute in the member’s favour.
- Mavlo does not sell personal data or use it for advertising.
Questions, answered
The details people usually ask first.
Do manual Strava activities count?
No. Manually entered activities are excluded from verified totals.
Do private Strava activities count?
Mavlo can verify only activity data Strava makes available to the authorised connection. Do not rely on a private activity unless it appears as verified progress; uncertain coverage receives grace.
What happens if an activity syncs late?
The evaluator needs exact-window evidence. A delayed or incomplete sync is not treated as proof of failure; check the progress and review state in Mavlo and use the dispute path if needed.
Is Mavlo endorsed by Strava?
No endorsement or sponsorship is implied. Strava is a member-authorised verification source.
