I would like to start syncing my rides from my Garmin 1040 to Strava. Currently I’m using Apple health but would prefer to use the data from my Garmin device.Last time I tried this, every ride I’d done in the past got synced and I ended up with hundreds of historic duplicates and a horrible mess to sort out in my Strava account. How can I set up syncing so that only future rides get synced from Garmin to Strava and not historic ones?

I would like to see my effort on a specific climb on a Tacx ride. Unfortunately there are no segments on this ride. When I try to create s segment I get "Something went wrong" also if I make it private. Anybody got a good solution around this problem? Cheers Mikael 

Bonjour, Je trouverais ça interessant de pouvoir partager ma carte d’activité personnelle avec mes amis pour voir quelles routes j’ai pu utiliser. Je me doute que cela pose certains pb de confidentialité mais qd même !Translation:Hello,I would find it interesting to be able to share my personal activity map with my friends to see which roads I have been able to use. I suspect that this poses some privacy issues but still!

Display Surface Type when viewing saved routes. This is displayed in the route Edit screen but not when viewing saved routes. Other services already do this and it is super helpful and just makes sense. Especially since the data is already available. 

At Strava Multi-Sport Clubs, weekly stats reporting groups all activities together.  Please can we change this so that leaderboards on multi-sport clubs are set up to show separate reporting for running, cycling, walking, swimming and workouts etc? At the #RCUCRC (www.strava.com/clubs/rcucrc), we are a running club, but with many members who Run, Bike, Swim & Workout and we have had feedback to make changes which we cannot do as yet.  Please help? Thank you.

No option for adding any Martial Arts sports. Please can this be added

Strava winter map overlay generally shows correctly nordic/cross country trails by parsing the piste:type=nordic from the way regardless of whether it is a dedicated nordic:piste or if it is a nordic trail that goes along a road/trail (e.g. highway=track, highway=path).  However, if the piste:type=nordic is on a way tagged highway=footway the trail is not indicated as a nordic trail on strava heatmap. (NB: this is this may well be a mapbox bug and not a strava bug.)for example, if we look at this locationhttps://www.strava.com/maps/global-heatmap?sport=All&style=winter&terrain=false&labels=true&poi=true&cPhotos=true&gColor=hot&gOpacity=51#15.52/44.201008/-71.215744 we

Hi if I record a snowboard activity on my Apple Watch it shows number of runs, maps heart rate etc when I upload to Strava it says 0 distance 0 elevation and none of the map data syncs. If I change to cycle as an activity it gives distance and elevation. Why is this? The data is clearly there but not being brought into Strava. 

My Strava never seems to record my calories when I do SUP sessions, I have my weight, gender and DOB recorded in the app. I do get the following information:-DistanceElapsed TimeMax Heart RateAvg SpeedAvg Heart Rate any help appreciated thanks

Activity data not automatically importing to Strava. A message saying that there was a failure is shown when trying to import manually.All settings and permissions are right, wondering if there is a bigger problem happening.

This community hub is a great way to generate ideas and have interested users comment on them.  I believe the community base is limited in number and not representative of the broader strava community.  For example, many great ideas were proposed and closed due to lack of attention in a sufficient window of time.  I would be interested in how many active community members regularly review the ideas and believe this is a difficult task.  I would think many of the fantastic ideas here would address issues/improvements that many strava users encounter and think there could be a way to pose these vetted fantastic ideas to the larger community, possibly by activity type.  If a user is a subscriber, active road rider, and 5-10 fantastic ideas for road riders pop up, it might be nice for a sub-set of this user group to review and vote on them.  For example, as a cyclist, I find it challenging to wade through many other sport comments, though while interesting, would make being an activity

Hi,I’m using an Apple Watch to track my workouts. The app only analyses calories burnt for running and walking. It doesn’t show calories burnt for weight training/ HIIT or pilates. I noticed my friends calories burnt are being shown. I’ve put in my weight in the app and I downloaded new updates on my phone and watch. Is there something I’m missing? I’d appreciate any help thank youM

Today under  following tab the activities of those athletes are no longer listed by recent date. The dates are completely random making it almost impossible to acknowledge their efforts with kudos. Many of them participate in multiple activities per day and I've been scrolling endlessly to find everyone.It was working fine over the weekend!!  1st qnd 2nd  May 2025 and now just SHIT!! 

I’ve no doubt this has been raised before but does anyone actually prefer to see moving pace by default over elapsed pace which was always default? I don’t want to set all my runs to ‘races’ just to see this. I don’t want to have to look into the data for a run to see overall elapsed pace and showing moving pace on feed gives a false impression of performance. 

Just until a couple of days ago, there was a workout summary in the activity page. If I had a workout programmed, it showed the running laps in a bar graph. Is this coming back or is it only for subscription users now?

Hi,I’ll be in London for work, and I need to do a training run on one of the days I’m there; I created this map. https://www.strava.com/routes/3327988429394644784Basically, I’m on Poland Street, and I want to go around the parks to make it more interesting. This will be a 7 am run before the shops open. But I’m wondering if going down Oxford Street on the way back is the best option.Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!Cheers

Hola, buen díaTengo un problema con el reporte de actividades, no recibo el correo para poder descargarlo y he verificado el correo registrado y es el correcto.Alguien me puede ayudarGracias! Hello, good dayI have a problem with the activity report, I don't receive the email to download it and I have verified the registered email and it is correct.Can someone help me?Thank you!

Lately, the Strava app on my iphone 14 has become unusable on longer runs and tours. After 2 hours, my battery went from 90% to 25%. Comparably, on OnX Backcountry, my battery only goes down 5-10% after 2 hours. On other tracking and map apps, you can set the GPS update and recording intervals, such as 10 seconds or 10 meters. On Strava, there are no such options and it seems to update constantly. Accuracy is nice, but it would be nicer to use strava for longer trips!

Hi,I started using the app, and got a G2R Multi watch. In his application (Mwatch) it is possible to share my physical activities with STRAVA, but when sharing and allowing the sharing of data appears ERROR 403 in the strava app, saying that this application has already exceeded the number of connected athletes.  How do I solve that? i would love to sync the apps. 

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a Pixel 9 Pro phone and a Pixel 3 watch. My issue is that, if I start a run on my watch, I don't get the audio updates of how far I've run (which I fine very useful and motivating) and, if I start a run on my phone, I get them but then my heart rate isn't accessible for that activity. It just says "Start training with a heart rate monitor" as in the screenshot attached. My watch shows my heart rate and Fitbit app shows it so I don't know why the Strava app won't import this data. Please help and thanks in advance.

You know what’s worse than criticism? Insincere feedback. ‘ progress is a marathon’, ‘ well done’ , ‘ strong effort’ . I just ran for 10 mins lol

I would like to suggest a new activity. As an avid mountain biker I also spend time doing trail building and maintenance. It is an activity that I think if Strava added would help give incentive for others to participate. It is also one heck of a workout.

I’m trying to join a family plan, but I keep getting a message saying, “You must live in the same country to join their family plan.” My country is set to the UK in my settings, but when I try to join the plan, the price shows in dollars ($) instead of pounds (£).I contacted Strava support almost a week ago, but I haven’t heard back yet. Can anyone please help me fix this?Thank you

When recording a ride, I want the blue line moving UP the screen and the arrowhead centred on my screen. I can sometimes fluke this by messing with the bottom of the 3 icons (direction icon?) but usually it just changes from across the screen one way to the other way, but i want it to go up, and turn the map as I turn corners. There’s a simple answer but I don’t know what it is! Help please
