Solar miles

Your activities as rays around a centre, in date order, each as long as the distance it stands for. A year turns into a sun with a long summer and a short, dark February. No map, no route: the rhythm of a year in one shape. Connect Strava and choose the year.

What it reads from your data

A running year sunburst print, from your own activities

One ray per activity, clockwise through the year, length as distance.
Month marks around the rim so the seasons read.
The totals beneath: activities, distance, dates.
Any palette; the rays in a colour of your own.

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. Rays are distance alone, so indoor sessions count.

What is the ideal number of activities?

Between fifty and four hundred. A daily runner's year is the print this was made for.

Can it be more than a year?

Yes; the rim marks adapt. Two years still reads, five gets dense.

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.
