Hi, My power meter or something glitched and gave me a reading of 2500 watts for about 3 minutes. Now my power curve is all wacky. Is there a way to edit my power numbers? NOT FTP, I ALREADY FIXED THAT 🙂Thanks!

Can anyone help? Sudden, after several years of working fine, my Peloton activities are no longer synching to Strava. I’ve tried to disconnect and reconnect, update, delete and reinstall apps. What is going on?

 Hey folks, I can no longer access my routes from my mobile devices… I get an error message that I’m offline and IM NOT!  anyone else seen this?  All the map graphics have urned off too 

I use a Concept 2 rower and a Garmin Vivoactive 4 to record my rowing activities. The watch doesn't record distance. When the rowing activity is complete, it is recorded on Garmin Connect and pushed to Strava. Using the data on the Concept PM3, I modify Garmin Connect to include the virtual distance of the row. But, I don't see anyway to edit the Strava activity to include the virtual distance? Am I missing something and if so, how do I either manually add distance or get it to pull from Garmin Connect the edit activity? Or is there another way around the issue, like not automatically pushing the activity from Connect as soon as I save it at time of activity completion?

Is it possible to track an indoor rowing machine session? If so, what are the best ways to do this?

This message is about logging a ski activity on Strava and the many problems I encountered.I have used Strava for all sorts of activity and sports tracking; running, hiking, biking, climbing, swimming, walking, workouts, etc.I am a frequent skier but never logged on strava, this year I decided to try the "supported" Alpine Skiing" function out.The first two weeks I logged my activities using my Garmin Fenix 5X watch and it worked well. The transferred data was correct and the lifts weren't included in my total distance. However, my relative effort was between 5-15 every single day. These were days where we skied on average 40 km. Intensity varied but a RE of 8 compared to 32 for a 4 km light jog. When I changed from measuring using heart rate to "How hard was this activity" it suddenly jumped to 100-250. This didn't give me any useful insights into how my fitness changed during these 2 weeks, really disappointing because I like using the feature and now it is

Hey all. I've been looking at getting into zone 2 training. However, I've seen many videos saying that smartwatches are no good at tracking HR accurately. It appears that Strava on WearOS doesn't support external HR monitors (I don't understand why.. it's such a basic feature), so I'm now looking to see what my options are.Is there a way I can pair the external monitor with my phone (Google Pixel) instead and just start the workout from my phone instead of my watch? Is there any downside to this vs starting the run from my watch?Thanks.

As was mentioned here - IOS17 Create a Route and Crop Route Bug and Create a Segmenthttps://communityhub.strava.com/t5/strava-features-chat/ios17-create-a-route-and-crop-route-bug-and-create-a-segment/m-p/19607#M3150 With iPadOS 17.x Strava in Safari will not display the map in routes and the error reported is “Mapbox GL not supported by browser“.  The solution presented to use the iPhone app works but given the limited display in an iPhone app on the iPad it is not really useful, you could just use a phone.Safari on iPadOS17 supports webGL as it did in the past, and the solution to get maps to render is pretty simple - on iPad with iOS 17.x1.  Go to Settings2. Search for Safari3. In the Safari section go to the last it

Is there any way to not show club and challenge joins in your dashboard feed.I would like to only see actual activities and posts there, I'm really not interested in what clubs anybody I follow happens to be joining, nor really the challenges they joi, and it just clutters up my feed, so I can't actually see some activities.

Hello, my data is not showing in pc browser version of Strava. I've searched the problem and saw that many other people have had the same issue and I tried some of the suggested fixes such as clearing cookies. However I have not been able to resolve the problem. I have the problem with Chrome and with Edge so don't think it is browser related. Any suggestions?

Every time I comment on a notable activity (such as a race) of another Strava user, my email inbox get flooded with comments from other users on the same activity, most of whom I don't know and completely uninterested in their comments. Most of these comments are simple congratulations.Is there any way to stop that? I have already unchecked a corresponding option for a push notification, but I still get emails. For example, after yesterday's race, in which I also participated, I received at least 20 such emails about someone who I don't know commenting on another person's race. 

On an activity where I ONLY use my Iphone to record on Strava (no iwatch or gps). After I finish the activity, it correctly shows right away on Strava with map and pictures and statistics. One day later, the same activity shows on Strava as a duplicate exactly the same but WITHOUT the map. Pretty annoying. Any solutions?

Has anyone experienced the Segments not appearing after an activity.My last 2 runs show 0 segments - routes i have done before.have tried looking into reasons why - but nothing seems to work 

Hello, any idea what these stats are and how they're calculated? Also, it shows "biggest climb of x metres" but you can't trace it back to anything?  

I am loged in to the same google-account on the watch and my phone, yet the activities that I record with the preinstalled activity tracker don't get synced anymore. The watch is not even showing up under connected devices in the phone app.I have tried to follow the troubleshooting steps from the website, but my watch never prompts me with the input field for the 4-digit code, so I get stuck at that step.

When I record a swim from polar to strava, it records the time and distance for the entire session including the rest time which then makes the pace inaccurate. It seems like this has just started recently, is this the right forum to post about it? 

I noticed that a common ski trail in our area is missing from the basic Strava map and I need to create a route on it for a race map.  I have skied it and created a segment on it - is there a way to turn my segment into a trail that shows on Strava so that I can create a route on it?  How do these trail systems get established on the trail maps that show on Strava?

Hello. Here´s an idea. When we edit activity, we should be able to alocate more than one equipment to the same activity. For example, if we change shoes during the activity, that feature would be very usefull for counting the distance for each shoes used.What do you think about it?

When you don't want to have visibility of your activity set to everyone, your activity won't count towards certain challenges and counters, which is fine. But some counters are purely personal, like your weekly or yearly distance, and not adding the activities to those useful.In my ride today I got a KOM I got because it was very windy. I don't really want that KOM and because there's no other option not to appear on leaderboards I set the ride to 'followers'. By doing so the distance disappeared form my weekly and yearly counts, so I reset it to 'everyone' because I use those counts a lot.Does anyone know if it is possible to set a ride to 'followers' and still have the counters update, or is there any other option to have rides count without appearing on leaderboards?

Suddenly I follow a lot of people I don't know. I haven't done anything active to follow them. Has anyone else experienced the same thing and know why this happens?

Is there a way to have a STRAVA Beacon started when starting an apple activity? My Garmin Felix automatically sends a STRAVA beacon when beginning a run, so I was hoping this can work with an Apple workout as well. 

My segment time is not showing up on leader boards?    

Is there any plans to integrate Orangetheory workouts into the Strava app the same way a Peloton workout automatically integrated?

I know this doesn't sound like much of an issue. But when I finish my run on the Strava app on my Apple Watch Series 8, I have the option to 'save' or 'discard'. If I press 'save', it goes straight and puts it up on my Strava feed. It doesn't allow me to change the name, visibility, tags, etc. I have to then go onto my phone app and edit it, which is a real pain. Does anyone else have this issue, or any solutions? I am fine with it uploading to Strava, but I don't want it going directly to my feed so that people can see my 1km warmup... Many thanks!
