Hi, since a couple of months you can sync power meters on the bike to iOS eg Apple Watch. I’m planning to buy power meter pedals and record my power via the Apple Fitness app. Does Strava auto import the power and cadence data once the cycling workout is finished? I read in the DC rainmaker review that this wasn’t the case in July 2023 during the beta runs. for the curious; I’m not planning to get a bike computer as I see my phone as a better all rounder for the things I’m doing on a bike.

boa tarde, fiz o meu cancelamento do plano que ativou automaticamente. no regulamento diz que temos que pedir o estorno em 7 dias, eu preciso o estorno no valor da conta do meu cartão, poderia estornar por favor?  TRANSLATION: Good afternoon, I canceled the plan that activated automatically. The regulations say that we have to request a refund within 7 days, I need a refund for the amount on my card account, could you please refund it?

Hi,Is anyone else having issues with Android and One UI with Strava and Push Notifications?For a while now i have been missing any notifications on the app being pushed to my phone, have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but now luck with that. I have recently updated my Phone Software but not resolved it, there has been at least one Strava App update but again no fix to this problem. Feel like i am missing lots of comments and replies and also activities by my favorite atheletes.I have submitted a ticket but there is minimal updates on the situation and i feel like i have been forgotten about, just want to know if the issue is widespread or specific to a certain OS version. I pay annually for the subscription that has went up but i feel like i am not really getting much for my money especially now that i have this issue. 

I was trying to upload my 10 mile run from my Apple Watch like normal (importing it) and it just got stuck at "processing activity". I left it overnight and it just disappeared but didn't process. I don't know how to make the run show up on my feed. 

Hi all, I have a Samsung S21 Ultra and a Samsung Glaaxy Watch 5 Pro. I'm trying to understand when Strava should be capturing my heart rate info when tracking a run.Tracking via Galaxy Watch 5 Pro ⌚️ : when I trigger my excercise recording via the Strava app on my watch, I seem to get heart rate data just fine - the problem I have right now though is that anything I track on my watch isn't visible on the Strava mobile app - apparently this is a know bug? It displays fine on the web interface but who uses that... 😐 (any pointers on a fix would be gravely appreciated as I'd rather track via Watch but I can't!!)Tracking via Samsung S21 Ultra 📱: when I trigger my excercise regarding via the app, the recording displays as expected in the mobile app but it doesn't pick up any data from my Watch - despite having the Strava Watch app installed and both Samsung Health and Google Fit all synced and access approved... is this just normal functionality and I

I accidentally split my run in two halves and I would like to replace my two runs with the run of someone I was running with (who recorded the whole thing in one fell swoop). Is that possible?

Recently, I am not getting any fitness points for trainer rides.  My relative effort and heart rate are as high as running activities where I've gotten +2. My power meter doesn't seem to be reading consistently, so my avg power is low.  How do I fix this?  

Hello, I have a problem with unsynced activity showing in my app. Cant sync it, cant delete it. Please help. Pics attached.              

HiI've just had an attempt at a KOM and got 5th. It doesn't appear on the all time leaderboard, 5th place isn't shown on the list. Is it still updating or something? The time shows on my own efforts, but not anywhere else. All privacy controls are off, check map visibility etc.https://www.strava.com/segments/1491651Any ideas?

Recently My heat map stopped showing my water activities (kayaking, canoeing, etc).  Does anyone know if this will be fixed?

All sports selected.I dont see the tracks of some water sports (Sup, Kajak), but other shown (Kite, Windsurf)The strange thing is that tagged photos from SUP sessions are shown. But not gps track.

2 weeks ago with no warning or way of changing it my runs on Strava stopped showing calories and started showing average power ( which I don’t understand what that means or what relevance it has to my run ). I appreciate the calories on Strava are an estimate. Does anyone know how to configure what is visible ? Even when I click on the activity, calories are still missing. I haven’t changed anything on my Strava, I pay a subscription. Any advice appreciated. Thanks 🙂

Most of the time when I use Strava for outdoor rowing, only say the first 10 minutes or less of a recording is saved. I've checked every setting I can think of, but whatever I do, tracking my rowing stops. Geolocations are recorded is very accurate, as long as it lasts. Any ideas?Settings (I have to translate from non-English):Allowed app privileges: Devices in the neighborhood, Physical activity, Body sensors, Location, MessagesSettings > Apps > Strava > Permissions > Location: allowed for app use (some other apps also the option "allow always", but not Strava); exact location usage enabledSuspend app activities when not used: disabledBattery > Battery saving > disabledBattery use app, Strava: allow background use: enabledAny Google Pixel 8 (Android 14) users who have reliable GPS tracking in Strava?

Hi Strava users! I'm taking my road bike to Denmark and was wondering if anyone has any tips for rides in Jutland. Also I’ve read somewhere that all bikes need a bell and sets of reflectors by law, I hadn’t planned for that, and I’ve never seen most road bike riders with these attached in the uk, or any other European country. How strictly is it enforced? I will have lights but am unlikely to be riding at night. Thanks for your advice and clarification!

I have the problem that my segments and heartrate are suddenly not showing on my PC even though they do on my Apple iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch 7 (which I use to record my activities). My PC shows the overall route, time, weather etc but I see a blue circle on heartrate and segments whenever I try to enter the Analysis on the PC. I can see these completely on the Apple appliances. This problem started about two weeks ago.I have reinstalled Strava on all my Apple Appliances without luck. My date of birth is correctly entered. iOS on all devices is up to date, as is Windows on my PC.My guess is that the PC is somehow not allowed to access all data, but it is a guess. Can you help, please.Also, as a note, this post seems to show I am located on Mt Kenya, which is sadly not the case. No clue if this is related.  

Twice in the past few months Strava Beacon has suddenly stopped reporting my location to my wife.  I use a Garmin 810 to record my rides.  It appeared normal during my rides but when I downloaded to Strava it did not show the last 14 miles of my ride.  Is this a Beacon problem or a Garmin problem?  Garmin Connect also does not show the final 14 miles.  Makes my wife very concerned.

I don't understand the fitness score. If I do a very hilly slow run, then my fitness score only goes up by 1. The same distance on flat tarmac at average pace, my fitness score goes up far more. It doesn't appear to take account of elevation gain or gradients which is annoying.

Just wondering why my run pace was 6:55 yet the route/segments of the run all had paces above this? Have attached some photos for reference. More curious than anything.     

Why isn't it possible to cancel auto renewal?  I have just discovered that I have signed up for another year when my intention was not to and I was expecting to be advised my subs were coming up for renewal.  Instead it happened automatically and I didn't even receive a receipt as notice this has occurred. 

 can someone explain why my monthly goal numbers show 1 hr and 16.4 miles, when the actual numbers, right below it, are 8:40 hrs and 100 miles? Screen shot above.  I am a subscriber. Everything is cycling although some may be trainer or set as MTB etc if that matters. Thanks

I am unsure how to use these features...In September I ran my first ever marathon, and my fitness showed 100+ points (I don't know what these are) but I had the darndest time executing my plan on a mostly flat course.Fast forward 6 months and My fitness was about 50 however finishing the LA Marathon I was able to execute well, and my legs felt great going into mile 18 (no wall) I PR'ed by 10 minutes, yes I'm still slow but I beat my previous time by 10 minutes and I didn't hit a wall despite all the hills.  So I don't know how to use these numbers on the graph by Strava because it would be my assumption that the higher the fitness I should be able to run farther / faster than when fitness is lower?

Today I received an email that I lost a KOM on a ride from August 2023 that I did not do , I actually was 300 km away from a factious ridiculously fast ride doing another ride at the same time at home . looking through my calendar I found one more ride that I didn’t do , …what’s going on ?   Have I  been hacked ? 

read all the previous posts.what works?- only after opening an activity on my mobile and editing it will it sync to google fitwhat does NOT work?- recording a new activity on strava using my mobile does NOT sync to google fit- manually adding an activity to strava using my mobile does NOT sync to google fit- updating an activity on strava web does NOT sync to google fitas a software engineer i can conclude:- strava / google fit integration happens purely on mobile devices- the 'trigger' to sync activities to google fit only happens on 'change activity'- the 'trigger' to sync activities to google fit does NOT happen on 'new activity'really shoddy integrationi think you can do better 

Similar to the local legends function, it would be great to be able to choose to completely toggle off the new cycling Best Efforts.

Hello,I had a marathon today and finished the activity on Apple Watch. As it couldn’t be synced immediately I later choose the unsynched one and clicked there to sync. So watch is saying 0 synched ones. But it doesn’t come up on Strava. Checked all settings and usually it goes automatically and what I don’t track with Strava is imported automatically.Health is showing calories and time correct.any idea? Yes, restart done, my activity on Strava iPhone refreshed several times, nothing. I also tested with a new activity and it went through without issues.Thanks
