Hi Im doing a 12 hour hike using the  strava app, any recommendation on how to keep the battery lasting on my apple watch

It seems like the sizing of the bubble chart in the Training Log might be fixed? If so, we can’t see the scale. It definitely varies by activity.  For example, if the activity is “Run” and the distance is 5 mi, the bubble might be x1. If it’s 10 mi, then x2. If the activity is “Hike” and the distance is 20 mi, the bubble will be x1. However, at a distance of 30 mi the bubble still seems to be x1.   Could we have relative scaling based on our range of selected metric?

I would love to see something implemented to remove the junk recordings off of the challenge leaderboards and segments. For example, right now the top athlete on the July Half Marathon run challenge says that person ran 63,000 miles with a 0mi pace. Clearly something went amiss and that record shouldn't be above

Hi guys! I have an issue, since yesterday, facebook keeps deleting mi sharings from strava, why? I've made reports, now i am wainting for their response. 

Am I able to see my cumulative step count in Stava? 

Hello - I've been added as an Admin to a Club, so I can approve membership requests. However, we still cannot clean up the club (this club is tied to an office-based club) because the identified owner no longer has access to their account.I've messaged the previous owner, and they have confirmed that the club does not appear in their dashboard so they cannot transfer ownership.What remedies do I have for this situation?

Hi all, I'm trying to use the relative effort. But I was noticing a big difference in relative effort between 2 pretty similar activities:  The lower is from september 8th and the upper from september 15th.  So, in the upper activity I ran a little bit longer in zone 2 but way less in zone 3 and my relative effort is much higher. Are there other things involved in the calculation? What am I missing? I must admit that my heartrate zone where accidently set back from custom to automatic between the 2 runs. I put it back to custom (after the run) which changes the upper graphic. I think the relative effort score didn't change.But still, the heartrate zones during the last run (on automatic base) were slightl

I was trying to signin after being off Strava for a while and could not remember the password. I finally found it and changed the password but it still doesnt let me in. Its been over 24hours. I emailed support and cant get a response. Not sure what to do at this point. 

I have got some messages like a scam a few days ago.I reported as a scam to you, so I would like to know whether it was a scam or not.If you'd like to contact me, could you please send e-mail.Thanks.

Hi, I have an old friend that i have a concern about. Her activity numbers on the desktop home page have remained unchanged for an extended time. Her setting is private. Does this necessarily mean she no longer using strava? thanks for any help? DeeM

In the web app is there a way when viewing an activity to auto-hide or one-click hide all segments that are not my own private ones?I ride the same route a lot and I have about 12 segments of my own that are starred. Since it's a heavily used trail, when I view an activity my own segments drown in the sea of random segments that others have created and made public. I literally have 40+ segments that I don't care about. I can hide them 1 by 1, but that's tedious and on my next activity in the same place it's the same again.Any current options to avoid this segment overkill?

I've been marking rides to and from work as commutes pretty diligently, but I see from various reports on the site that commutes can be hidden, which makes me think maybe they aren't meant to be treated as significant exercise? I ride as hard on commutes as I do on non-commutes, just that my destination is work and I have paniers on my bike for a change of clothes, laptop, etc. If anything, that little extra weight burns a few more calories, I'm sure.Would others count these as commutes? It is a little neat seeing how much CO2 I saved by not driving, though that's not really why I do it.

I open three incident ticket and I still waiting for any action from Strava team support. I’m the only one?here my problem Unfortunately, I remove my Facebook from my Strava account. I want to use my e-mail address for Login. However, I can’t log any more on my Strava account. I have more then 10 years of activities.My old Facebook account email  is no more is service) Here à copy of my last payment on August 24 for my annual subscription. Could you link my old Strava account to the following E-mail : and send e a link for a password reset?I’m still waiting for any answer for the 3 incidents I opened regarding the problem 

hello, i notice in one segment that been using motorbike to get the KOMs, but the athletes block me and set as private account so i can't flag his activities and only his mutual can see it. Any idea how to flag those activities? He's been cheating for many times.

Hi, I have just recorded my quickest 5km PB and am distraught that it will not sync to strava. I am using a Garmin Forerunner 55 and the activity is showing on Garmin Connect. If I start another activity, it automatically syncs. What can I do?

Hey everyone. My name is Tracy and I'm new here as a writer. I've been using Strava for a long time to track my walks and hikes. Now I have a bike. Wanting some input on power meters to get a better calorie burn reading from Strava. Don't want to break the bank. Something that will give me a better reading on my power. Thanks in advance

I recently noticed that two street names on a Strava map were the wrong way around.  The street names have been used in the names of some Strava Segments, which causes some minor confusion.  The Strava map (at least in the UK) comes from OpenStreetMap.  I corrected the 2 street names via the OSM website (it's all open source) but when I look today the names on Strava are still incorrect.Hence my question - presumably there is some delay between a change being made in OSM and it reaching Strava.  Does anyone know how long this typically takes ? (I have a slight concern that I may have missed a step in the process of getting things corrected)

Hi everyone I had tracked my run on my Apple Watch and on my phone however my Apple Watched stopped and it continued to track on my phone my longest distance yet and didnt upload, I’ve tried the option of going to refresh, logging in and out etc is there any other ways? It said it was uploading for about 10 mins after I saved it and then just disappeared . Any help at all appreciated it  

Hi, this has happened again and I am getting annoyed by whatever Strava is doing with my team runs uploaded from garmin. Picture this: runner A (garmin) and runner B (polar) run the same trail, have the same pace, same pauses, everything is basically the same. Stats in both garmin and polar app are nearly identical - obviously, we ran together. Yet on strava, my (garmin) activity is 52 MINUTES longer than my friends. Like how the **bleep** is that possible if we ran arm by arm? His average moving pace in Strava reflects exactly what his polar app says, in my case, according to strava - I am 30% slower than him. Where is the logic in this? Garmin: https://strava.app.link/vjoeZ2WQIMb Polar: https://strava.app.link/xWOk5LZQIMb

I know that the discrepency between Garmin times and Strava times have been reported again and again and the response from Strava is always "we're right, they're wrong" but this is ridiculous.I started a weights workout on Friday and finished it today, Saturday, and now Strava says the workout was 30 hours long while Garmin says it was 50m. That's not Strava being more strict about paus times, that's just silly.

Anyone else notice that the weather stats (like the equally *wildly inaccurate* "calories" stat) are insanely inaccurate? I live in Miami. Today's ride was oppressively hot & humid. According to Strava, though, the temp was 79° F, with a "feels-like" temp of 83°. Ummm...NO! Not even CLOSE. According to Weather.com, the feels-like temp was a whopping 104° F! Slightly different, I'd say.The Strava temps are not just "slightly off," but 10° to 20° off every single time.I have no idea how/where Strava is getting the weather information, but it's wildly inaccurate, to the point where I do not want the bogus Strava weather info to automatically appear on the ride.Is there no way to disable the weather stats? They automatically appear on the ride summary, despite being a complete joke.This should be a feature users could disable!Bottom line: If Strava can't provide accurate temps, the either DON'T provide t

I have encountered a huge problem today having completed the Swim Serpentine event in London. Distance was incorrectly showing as 2,745 metres instead of 3,440 metres. However, when using the 'correct distance' feature, the distance correctly changes to 3,440 metres, but my moving time drops from 1hr 37mins to 22mins! A drop of 1hr and 15 mins!! What is going on here Strava??Please just add the ability to show elapsed time rather than moving time, and the problem would be significantly less of an issue. Especially when these events could be classified as a 'race' as per the options for running and cycling...

I am looking for recomendations for rides to take in the Wilmington, NC area. I will be living near the Landfall area.Thanks 

I want to see average heart rate for «Your Results» on cycling segments. Now it just shows average power (W), and of course average speed (km/h) and total time.  I know it is possible to see the heart rate on the «Analyze Effort» page. But I want just an easy overview for all efforts to compare my fitness and see my trend. Same power and lower HR = better fitness.  There is enough space on the page + it would not clutter the page in my opinion.
