Distance rings

A ring for every activity, one inside the next, each arc as long as the distance it stands for. A year of running becomes a target of concentric colour; a short season, a few clean circles. No map, no route, only the pattern of how far and how often. Connect Strava and choose the year.

What it reads from your data

A running data art print, from your own activities

One ring per activity, from the centre outward in date order.
Arc length is distance, so the long runs reach around and the recovery runs stop early.
The totals beneath: activities, distance, dates.
Any of the five palettes, and your own colour for the rings.

Every part of the print can be moved, resized, recoloured or removed in the Studio; the route, the map and the words each take a colour of their own. Nothing is printed until you order.

Good to know

Does it need GPS?

No. Rings use distance alone, so treadmill runs and indoor rides count too.

How many activities look right?

Between thirty and three hundred. Fewer makes a sparse target; more and the rings thin, which some people like.

Can two people share a print?

Not on one ring set; make one each, or ask us about a two-panel print.

How it works

From the Studio to your wall in three steps.

The Heatmap print: a year of London runs layered into one map of familiar roads

Step 01

Choose your subject

Connect Strava in one tap for a race, a ride or a whole year. Or search for a place, type a postcode for your street on the old Ordnance Survey, or add a photograph — none of those needs an account.

Step 02

Choose your style

Start from a finished design and make it yours: the words, the colours, the size. Twenty-three styles for your own miles, four treatments for a place, six layouts for a photograph, and the old survey as drawn or in your colours.
