I need to track cardio with terrain data, but I’d rather not trust Strava with my privacy. I know there are some alternatives, but which one is the most reliable and feature-rich? I don’t have smart accessories, just and android phone. Preferably, I’d like an app that let’s me track added weights for calorie purposes (like rucking).
Do developers of Strava realize that the name of their product literally means ‘Horror’ in Serbian? 😂
If you just want to track your data for yourself, without the social media features (like Strava has), I would recommend Opentracks.
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).
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.
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.
