When uploading indoor activity data like running (indoor) or biking (indoor) to Strava, we can add detailed speed data to the FIT file (in the Record section), but it is ignored. It is also visible on the site https://developers.strava.com/docs/uploads/ that speed data isn't processed by Strava for activity uploads. Detailed distance data can be added, but speed data is not derived from the distance values either.I understand that Strava doesn't need detailed speed data for activities with GPS data, but for indoor activities, our app users would like to see their speed in Strava. Wouldn't it be nice to add the interpretation of speed data for non-GPS activities, or derive the speed from the detailed distance data?

A recent iOS app update seems to have made it harder to manage my downloaded route maps.Previously in Maps > Saved > Saved Routes, I could see which routes were downloaded via a small icon against each listed route. You could also download them from the listing view by tapping that icon.Now though, I have to tap to view  an individual route to be able to see if it is downloaded.As I have a lot of Saved Routes this makes it very difficult to manage those I want downloaded whereas before it was relatively easy.Two solutions I can see for this:1. Restore the downloaded icon on the listing view2. In Maps > Saved add a new item “Downloaded Routes” that lists only the routes that you have downloaded to your device.Idea 2 would be really handy as when you are out and about to start a hike or ride, if you have a lot of Saved Routes it can take a while to find the one you are about to start. Whereas in a shorter list of Dowloaded

Hi all, is there an external tool that I can use to revise a GPS track and re-import it back to Strava? For some reason my GPS watch lost signal for a few miles on a run. So it shows a straight-line on the map, and the mileage is messed up. I was following a well established trail and the track was correctly recorded on my return trip. So the location data is available. Of course I won't be able to recover the lap times but that's fine. Thanks in advance.

Using iPhone 8+ . Starting a bike ride I see my heart rate and all the details I want. After a bit the screen changes to a map! I can’t find where I go where I can leave the HR live and keep tracking all the details live! My phone is not doing it because I stopped it from timing out, but the app??? Help

Hiya! my polar flow and Strava seem to be connected (through partners in polar) but data is not syncing and device does not appear in Strava  any suggestions on how to resolve this?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps without success

I'm not getting heart rate data into Strava and I can't figure out why / how. I've done 2 rides now, starting once in Samsung health and once in Strava. Health always records my heart rate as I ride, but the data isn't getting to Strava app. If I start my ride in strava app, I get no heart rate data at all. Everything seems logged in / sync'd, etc correctly. Any ideas?

New to the forum, apologies if this has been asked and addressed already. As a cyclist there are lots of segments around and they're a great goal to aim for. However with cycling would it be possible for segments to be separated, so those on MTB, Gravel and road bikes would have their own respective leader boards and KOMs/QOMs?

Here is bug in Strava that I find mildly annoying and hope that Strava can fix it. I often take pictures during my trail runs. Just before uploading pictures to Strava I often do a quick touch-up that includes improving contrast, doing a color correction, applying a filter, etc. As a result, in Strava all those photos end up showing a wrong time - not when I took those photos but when I edited them. The correct approach would be to take the time from EXIF data if it is available. Strava already reads EXIF data to get the GPS coordinates of locations where the pictures were taken, so perhaps it should do the same for the timestamps.

Dear StravaPlease make it possible to see speed, duration etc. at the same time as the map. You've already designed it, it's the pause screen.Thanks for an otherwise great app CheersRasmus

For some reason the View Flyby link on my actvities page has not been displayed for the past couple weeks. It had been working fine previously. Even when I set ALL my privacy settings to "Everyone" including the Flybys privacy setting, it's not showing up. Running through Chrome browser, Windows OS, desktop... blah, blah, blah.Any Clues? 

I am new to Strava and I came from using MapMyRide because the syncing with other apps stopped being supported. One of the things that strikes me as a huge feature miss on Strava is the inability to get progress updates/announcements while on your ride. At every mile, MapMyRide audibly told me my total distance, split speed and average miles per hour. Why isn't this available on Strava? I have to detach my phone from the mount and unlock the screen to check my progress and splits. Annoying and unsafe while riding

Hi! I am quite tired of flagging men on the leaderboard who register their gender as woman and get cups and QoMs... it would be great if:- there is an additional flag option indicating "wrong gender type".- when you register with a common male name but indicate that your gender is female, you get a pop-up reminder of the rules of fair play.Thanks!Carlota

I am riding Velomobile and still would like to enjoy participating in the Strava cycling challenges. Handbike is included, why not including velomobile?

When creating long routes 300+ km not all segments are shown. I understand the reason for this due to the huge amount of segments. But would be great if the stared segments are prioritized. Otherwise they will not be loaded as part of the route to my Garmin 1040. Is there a way to fix this?

Fitness scores no longer make any sense. My fitness score seems to be stuck on a score of about 19. That is 37% down on 2 years ago, yet 2 years ago I was suffering with complications related to covid and couldn’t walk up the stairs without having to sit down or run more than 1/2k without getting out of breath, whereas now I have trained and run a marathon in 4:30 and all my pace and distance is improving. The same is true for 1 year ago - still suffering from what I now know to be Atrial Fibrillation, whereas now I am running my fastest 5k, 5 Mike, 10k, etc.  

I love seeing that I have beaten my PRs, even if I hadn't planned to, but...Is there a way (I have looked and looked) to list all of my PRs in one place so I can choose which ones I am going to go out and beat?  I am trying to challenge myself to beat ones form when I was a little younger!Thanks,Gareth

Can I change my log to show steps instead of time ?

buonasera ad un tratto non mi compare piu la mappa del percorso effettuato e non compare piu' neanche il dislivello .come posso fare

Some days the Leaderboard shows "Today" results for each segment of my ride and some days it does not.  Does anyone know why "Today" doesn't always appear and is there a setting I need to change to always see Leaderboard  results for "Today" after my ride?

Been using STRAVA on my iPhone the last six weeks or so after returning to cycling from a years-long hiatus. I'm 74 now, STRAVA default tells me my Max Heart Rate is 190, which is absurd. How do I go about altering that little bit in my Profile on the phone app to reflect a more modest 160 or so? I can sustain 120 for a few minutes now, touch 150+ briefly w/no issues. It's the proportional representation of max vs. endurance periods I want to have presented with more accuracy.

We would like to inform you that Strava's Korean support will end on August 1st. After this date, the default language for web and mobile apps will be set to English. You do not have to do anything to continue using Strava. Please refer to this document to change to another supported language. Our global community is what makes Strava so special. We will do our best to support Korean again in the future. Please follow this link for more information, and if you need help with this change, we'll do our best to help. – Strava Team Dream Chinese and Japanese services are available, but not Korean.are unequal

Bonjour, je viens de changer de montre. J'avais une 735xt et je viens d'acheter la fénix pro 7. Depuis ce changement, ma montre n'apparaît plus dans le feed back de la séances?! Des idées pour remédier à ça ? Merci par avance. TRANSLATION:   Hello, I just changed my watch. I had a 735xt and I just bought the fenix pro 7.

Hello.When I plan a route with Strava, I can see the route as a line on the map. This no longer works. If I change the view to satellite or hybrid, the route disappears and there is no editable line (route). Mac OS X. Safari & Firefox.Is there a solution to this? Thanks a lot!
