Hi, In Strava Routes desktop, how can I turn off the 'route to here' suggestions? In areas where there are a lot of photos, they block the ability to draw routes because the cursor is never further enough away from the blue pin. Attached screenshot is from Calanques where it's not really possible to draw your own route due. Thanks in advance! Emi 

Hello community,not sure whether it is bug or feature, but would like to ask about inconsistent sum of kilometers in my profile. If I sum up all my runs from 2024, I get something around 608km. But my “year to date” statistics says 585km. Is there a bug, or is there anything behind what O am not aware of (eg. Manual activities don’t count, or so)? thanks in advance

FIrst time on this Strava forum,If Strava is incorrectly routing a best route, can we update strava? or is it a maps error?Like an obvious bug?

Hey Tennis Lovers! The second of the four annual Grand Slam tournaments, the Roland Garros Tournament, started on Monday, May 20! Also known as the French Open, this tournament will be held over 2 weeks at the Stade Roland Garros stadium. Played on clay courts this is the only major tournament not played on grass and is widely regarded as the most strenuous tournament in tennis.  There are a number of players to keep your eyes on this year. Iga Swiatek is going for a record tying 3 French Open titles in a row. If she wins, she will join Monica Seles and Justine Henin as the third women to accomplish this feat. She will face some tough competition from Aryna Sabalenka who is ranked #2 and is coming o

When I ride my indoor trainer - an old TurboTrainer type of unit, with no smarts of its own - the session shows up in Strava with a short but non-zero distance and a very short duration. My best guess as to what's going on is that the distance is based on GPS jitter that makes it look like my position occasionally changes by a few feet, and the duration is a "moving time" based on those position changes. When I ride the trainer for 30 minutes, with of course an actual distance of 0, Strava typically shows a distance of about 0.1 mile and a duration of about 3 minutes.Tagging the activity as Indoor Cycling or changing the activity type to Virtual Ride has no effect. The same activity appears with the correct duration when I upload it to Garmin Connect, but it does also show the very short distance.To make this a post about features, here's my suggestion:When a ride is tagged as Indoor Cycling, and has a route that's confined to a radius of 100 meters or less, and

Hello! I've just bought a Samsung Watch 5 and I'm stuck while using Strava App. There is a way to customize the screen fields? I would like to have 2 screens, one with heart and distance and another one with pace and time. I found a tip in another forum which mentioned to try using the Samsung Health (it allows the screen customization) and synchronize it with Strava, but I figure out that there is no way to synchronize activities that has no GPS Data. Thanks!

I downloaded Strava a couple of days ago, not for the social aspect - I'm in a *very* remote area of Canada's North and nobody else rides here - but because I heard it's great at tracking info. I like it so far because of the amount of *correct* data available during and after my trail rides. I can't get Strava to show me my heart rate while cycling. It's connected via my Samsung Watch5/Health, but doesn't show on screen during or after. How can I make that happen?Also, I'd like to share my activities with friends and family on the other side of the continent on Facebook or text. I press "share" but they have to join Strava to view it. Am I missing something? And lastly, there's no manual, instructions, or video less than 2-3 years old, and the interface has changed a lot. Edit: what the heck is Mont Blanc under my name? Is it supposed to be where I am??

I would like to keep a library of rides and only have a select few pushed to my Wahoo App (and onto my computer). After testing this, it displays both saved routes and stared routes. Realizing this may be a Wahoo question, any other suggestions to try in Strava?   Thanks!

Hi,When using the Strava Android App(269.10 (1226114)), if you enter a Swim activity, and try to define the `Type of Activity` you only have one option.... Commute 😂Maybe there is somewhere in the world people may need to commute via swimming, but I would say for the vast majority of people this option will never be ticked.It would be far more useful if you could mark your swim as a Race, like you can for run/cycle.Posting in this forum as im not sure if its a bug or what, but its been like this for years 

If a heart rate sensor follows GATT Heart Rate Profile 1.0 and Heart Rate Service 1.0 can connect to Strava？Or you have more requirements? 

Hey,  I've messed up.  I plugged in my Garmin Edge (secondary device) while Express was running and now I have duplicates of ~230 activities.  Is it possible to have these bulk deleted (pretty please!).They were all uploaded from my edge 500 on Monday May 13th.

I ran a PR in the Half Marathon yesterday but it’s not showing as such. Has anyone had this issue and if so, how is it resolved? 

I am a newbie with Strava and recorded a route that my friends have asked me about. Then I marked it as public and saved it.Now I can see it as a "My Route" but not when searching for routes in my Android phone.What am I missing? Any advice is appreciated.Also, when searching for routes on my Android device, I can only select one of "Mountain Bike Ride", "Gravel Ride" or "Ride". Is it possible to search for all three kinds in one search, like "OR-ing" the conditions together?

Hi, Any ideas on this one? I recorded a cycle today on my Garmin which sync'd to Strava, but it's not showing up on the mobile app. The app registers that I did an activity, but there's nothing in the feed or activities. When I log on to the Desktop version it shows the activity in My Activies but not in my feed. I've noticed that the elapsed time is 11457hrs (legs are sore after that!!), could this be causing the problem? I deleted the activity and uploaded the gpx from my Garmin and it's still the same. I've logged out of the app and Desktop version, logged back in. I recorded another activity and it seemed to come up fine. Any ideas would be much apprciated. If it's not on Strava.... Thanks, Jimfred

 50k I was going to top-up today to hit my weekly target. Total says zero.  Has Sunday been moved to the first day of the week? 

Hi! I've just changed my bike device with a shanren and I can't autorize the uploading to my strava profile because of a 403 error about the limit of athlete already conexed.How can I solve the problem?Thanks ti anyone will help me!

I was off STRAVA for about 6 months. I'm a paid subscriber. When I went back on to upload a cycling ride I was met with a blank screen with some headers. After searching through the headers I found my activities. But, I can't find the rides of any of the people I'm following. I went to the profiles of these people and it says I'm following them. What is going on? FWIW a couple sent me kudos for my recent rides so I know they see me. STRAVA customer service is worse than useless. They don't return emails.

Two Questions:I understand that if we are Flagged, we should get a notification.... Where are we notified?How do I identify activities that may have been flagged?  I've been using Strava for a few years but never noticed any flags until I stumbled across a flagged activity from over a year ago.  To my knowledge, I was never notified and there was nothing obvious about my activity list .

Hi all,Seems google has released new login screen and that could have impacted signup in strava.I have tried to create a new account using an already existing Gmail account, and Strava returns me an error that I have to accept to share name info.. but indeed I do not see any screen to accept anything, Strava throws directly error, has someone else having same issue? 

Is it possible to have live coaching in strava, maybe as we're going through different segments or when our heart rate is at a certain point? Would love to have this for interval training.Not as big of a fan of nike run club anymore so hoping this is something in the pipelines, curious what others think!

Hello all!  Have you ever done something cool with Strava data that you would like to share with the rest of the world? For example, using some interesting integrations or different ways to visualize your training data. Or maybe showing off those amazing achievements in some interesting ways?  We would love to understand when athletes are interested in sharing their data off Strava app. We would also love to see any examples of fun stuff you are doing with your data and how you represent your activities outside of Strava. Let us know if you have any ideas and suggestions that come across when thinking about this. We would love to hear any suggestions you might have!  Thanks!

Today I made my PR in the 10km with this run, but I am not getting the golden medal symbol in the top right corner of the activity. The next picture highlights what is the problem.The thing is: the PR is correctly recorded in my all time PR record page, but even if i go to the activity achievements section there is no medal or no message that say "you recorded you 10km PR".The acticity was recorded with a Garmin watch and I did not stop to take a break during the activity.This started happening since last friday.For comparison, the next picture shows an activity which correctly shows the medal symbol. Also: I am getting this problme both on desktop version (pc) and mobile app (IOS).I tried the "refresh activity achievement" tool

Title says it all. Moderators? 

I am not sure how many more emails or tweets I can send until I get one response from you guys? What is the point of paying for a service I cannot use?I tried logging into my strava account but it seems I was locked out and I'm not receiving the reset password email.I tried logging in again some time after the above mentioned attempt and for some reason it's created a fresh new account for some reason with the same email address.I needed to create a new dummy account just to post on this forum.Help, I'm a premium customer.Please contact me so I can provide my login email address.
