Hi!I'm new to Strava - signed up to track my challenge progress for CRUK. I did my first run today using my apple watch. It recorded fine and I had an email congratulating me for my first run. The link in that email opens in the Strava app on my iphone and shows me my run. But, when I go back to 'home' there is no activity showing for me. So, I now follow myself! I've linked my Strava to CRUK and it's showing no activity.I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but can someone please help!

I have an hour-and-a-half long workout that's not uploading to my account, just keeps stuck on processing. I've logged out and in, I've tried refreshing many times and tried uploading a new activity, with no solution.

I’ve been trying for nearly 2 years to reset my email and password as the existing ones are no longer usable.I have tried to get a response from Strava using both the in apps help support and emails.I’m only able to login through Facebook which I wish to no longer use.I would really appreciate it If someone could contact me as I’m finding things extremely frustrating as a financial member and getting no response. Many thanks 

Hi, I need some help and don't know the best way to ask. I have the Strava app since 2020, granted on older phones.  Using it till yesterday 30 April 2024. Today I had some issues, so after restarting my phone with no luck.  I uninstalled the app, to reinstall it. I know can't I stall it as it won't work on mine. As I said I have an older android phone, Archie 50 power. What has changed since yesterday for it not to work? It was fine yesterday.   Thanks

Sync of walk between Galaxy Watch 4 (Wear OS) and Samsung S21 failed. Fresh installs on both the phone and watch.

애플 로그인으로 스트라바를 로그인했었는데 현재는 삼성 핸드폰을 사용해서, 애플 로그인이 어렵습니다. 사용하던 아이디를 그대로 사용하고 싶은데 방법을 알려주세요. 모든 활동이 활성화된 상태에서 계정이 잠겨 있고 비밀번호를 변경하려고 했지만가능하지않다고 나옵니다.  내 친구들이 내 활동을 볼 수 있기 때문에 내 이전 계정이 여전히 활성 상태라는 것을 알고 있습니다. 변경 가능하게 도와주세요. TRANSLATION: I used to log in to Strava with Apple login, but now I'm using a Samsung phone, so Apple login is difficult. I would like to use the same ID I was using. Please tell me how. My account is locked with all activity active and I tried to change my password but it says that's not possible. I know my old account is still active because my friends can see my activity. Please help me make this change.

Think I've got things a little messed up - I use Strava, Apple Watch and a Garmin Edge 530 for my cycle rides but having loads of problems with duplications everywhere. Furthermore - todays ride (on Strava app and website) shows no heart rate data. Heart rate data DOES show on my Garmin Connect, Apple Fitness App though (latter under the Strava tag). Not sure if I should just start everything from scratch. Anyone else use these three apps/devices? How do you manage yours? Sorry for such a complex question on my first visit here. Many thanks S

In the last couple of weeks I've noticed a problem with run data imported to Strava from Apple Fitness. Strava reports the distance correctly, but the time – both elapsed and moving – is too short, so the pace quoted by Strava is too fast. It's not the same as this issue previously reported by @Jeroentje, because I don't believe it relates to the difference between total time and moving time. Instead, I think the import process is breaking off prematurely, before Strava has received all the data. An example: my last run as recorded by Apple was 4.88 km in a total of 31:40 minutes. The average pace shows as 6:29/km, which I know is about right. My Apple Watch has auto-pause turned on, but I didn't stop and didn't pause manually. So I'd expect the total and moving times to be very c

On interval training, I often want to copy the details (what reps, etc) from when I've done the activity before. It would be nice to find that older activity, immediately highlight the text, and copy/paste it to the new activity. But I have to go into 'edit' the older activity to highlight the text, then 'save/discard' the no change, in order to get that text. So the ability to highlight and then copy any text on the main page would be a useful addition. Android app.

My daughter has a Garmin Edge and uses Strave.  We are many times in places with no cell service so the Find My App on the phone cannot track her.  Is there a way for her to share her real time location with me if she does  not have cell service, but I do?

hey guys! I just ran a long run and uploaded it from Garmin connect. It usually works fine but the run is not connecting to the stats on my profile. I checked to see it's visibility ect n it says it was fine- anybody else had this?  Thank you!

Recently the Orange heatmap that is used to show where you have been as 'Personal Heatmap' in route creation has changed.Im just wondering if there is a way of changing it back to the old orange personal heatmap as this new version is horrid for trying to discern roads that haven't been ridden.

I am very satisfied with Strava. However, not about displaying long activities among all other activities of your followers and sharing a long activity @Social Media.For example, yesterday I cycled the touring version of the Amstel Gold Race. This took me about 8:45 hours.If I look to and share my activity, the elapsed time is displayed there. This is 3 hours longer. So everyone thinks I cycled for 11:45 at a very slow pace. Why do you see the moving time on short routes and the elapsed time on long routes? 

I exported from Zepp files in .cvs format. Is it possible to import it into Strava account? I want to see all data in one account.Thanks in advance for help.

is it possible to obtain data on how much time I spend per week in each of the heart rate training zones?

Why does Strava not allow me to reset password.  I only have 2 email addresses and have been trying them both with no luck.It keeps asking me to set up a new account but I want my old account backPlease help!

Hi - I cannot start my strava from my watch, it says log in on the app when I press it on my watch? I have tried the suggestions re privacy settings etc? Can anyone help please?

Added a birthdate but still unable to activate Messaging. Any suggestions?

Afternoon I accidentally deleted a treadmill run on 25/04/24Have raised a ticket.. was wondering how long it takes for a response Thankyou x

Hi All, I am having serious problems with my Strava PB’s and Best Efforts. I have recently go back into running and have started to take it more seriously than ever before, however, I have noticed that when completing my runs my account is no longer showing when I have got a PR, even though it should have. And according to Strava I only have one PB for a 5K I did years ago.  I have gone onto the desktop and refreshed my Best Efforts but to no avail. I have attached some images for context.    Thanks! 

So I will be using an apple watch soon and really want to use apples running interface.  I understand that i can make it automatically sync the apple workout to a strava workout, but will the running route be placed in my strava workout as well? Thank you

I different types of workouts on Strava and the training log ends up a bit of a mess.  For some reason there is a huge differentiation in color for Ride (strava orange) vs Virtual Rides (redish-brown)... but then "Weight Lifting" is also redish-brown?? Makes viewing and looking for trends/patterns and planning upcoming activities tricky.  Can someone update these colors, or maybe default to some different ones based on what is used?   For instance if someone only uses Strava for Rides, Golf, Football, Sailing, and Skateboarding... every circle would be ORANGE based on the legend.  Can this maybe be adjustable? Can Ride and Virtual Ride be closer in color so as to not be the same as WeightTraining?
