I don't know if it meets all your criteria but check out golden cheetah

Give it some time to learn. It is far more powerful than strava and anything you could pay for (yes, even training peaks).
I'll look into it, thanks. Like you said, no clue if it meets my needs...but damn, that's so many data points
I like / use fitotrack (on the rare days i go out for runs). It has altitude / height of my runs, as well as custom exercise setups, and local exercise data backups. I'm quite happy with it as a tool for tracking cardio.
This sounds pretty close to what I'm looking for. I'd like a rough estimate of calories burned due to added weight as well, that's the tricky patt
It's not ready yet, but Wanderer looks like it may end up being a good Strava alternative
I've never heard of it before. Is it this? I don't see any mention of it being FOSS or even where to download their app.
This is it: https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer So far it's just a way to host your own trail maps, but hopefully it will expand to have more functionality like tracking your walks/runs.
It does not mention FOSS anywhere, so it is highly unlikely it is. But I have to say, their privacy policy is not bad (not great either). Much better than most nowadays.
I don't think it's very feature-rich, but I do use Open Tracks. For tracking my running it works just fine.
Runner Up, on f-droid is great for measuring speed and the like. I assume you meant running and gps. Other sports (e.g. gym, weights or functional training) got other apps. I'm not logging anything, just use TimeR Machine for everything. As for the food, I have no experience but there are a couple of apps on F-droid like FitBook or SECUSO's food-tracker. Good luck!
I'm specifically looking for a running focused app that considers added weights and the calories burned
Maybe you find it. But do keep in mind that FOSS projects tend to be smaller than commercial privacy nightmares. So, if you could live with the functionality being split across apps, it will be more feasible. It's also easier to maintain smaller apps, so there's many benefits overall..!
If you are just using your phone, FitoTrack or OpenTracks might be the right thing for you. I don't know about the added weight thing though.
Thanks, I'll download them and check em out
Do developers of Strava realize that the name of their product literally means 'Horror' in Serbian? 😂
That's pretty funny
If you just want to track your data for yourself, without the social media features (like Strava has), I would recommend Opentracks.
If you are serious about training, Training Peaks is probably a great alternative. Strava is the Facebook of activity apps so not really great if you're committed. There is a free plan for TP, but I'm not sure what the limitations are... I pay for it and can track the history of the key metric that matter to me such Power, Heart Rate, Training Zones, Freshness, Power bands etc. There are a LOT of analytical graphs to provide insights into your progress. The key is the more data you collect, the more value there is. i.e. Sleep tracking, weight, HRV, cadence etc.
