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!

Hello, I have been having issues with the splits on my activities when uploaded to Strava. The splits are accurate in the apple fitness app, but when I upload the workout to Strava, it completely messes them up. I have had 7:30 miles in the fitness app show up as 1:30 miles in Strava. The average pace is correct, segment times are correct, it is only the splits at the bottom of the activity that are wrong. This doesn’t change if I manually import the activities or if I have them on autoupload.

Some segments in Zwift have been flagged as "hazardous".Suggest that all virtual segments can not be flagged as such. Annoying that my favorite climb KOM does not appear anymore.

Do anyone know if Strava Live Segments will be implemented and available on the Apple Watch Ultra? Garmin watches got this feature, so why not Apple watches?

The OCD gremlin in me really enjoyed cleaning up bad segments. Reporting the duplicates, editing the starting position from someone’s favorite parking spot… But I can’t find that tool anymore and there are still some simple edits that can be done for example:the start of this northbound segment requires entry from an unmarked trailhead at a ditch further up a paved road with no bike lane:https://www.strava.com/segments/5385871while the southbound has a simple, clearly marked, and established start + finish on the established trail that runs along a major acequia (irrigation canal) without diversion.https://www.strava.com/segments/8981685 

Does any one facing app freezing issue in ios app, there are multiple scenario  where it freeze like 1 .while searching athlete.2. while scrolling notification.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Strava and interested in switching over from the UA Map My Run app.  After looking at the Strava web site and watching a couple of review videos I'm not finding what I need: the app I'm currently using can be configured to give me voice feedback in regular intervals with information such as distance & time run, average pace, current pace, heart rate.  Does Strava offer this?Thanks! 

Hi, on my last run I went slightly over 5k and it showed me the time from when I exactly hit 5K.however for this run I’ve just completed it’s only done the 1k, 1 mile & 2 mile times, no 5k any idea why? Thanks 

In November I added a new bike to Strava which I now exclusively ride. Therefore I retired my other bikes. The issue is that the cumulative kilometers for this bike are completely off. It says 2600 km while it is actually closer to ~900 km after adding the rides by hand. It does have a separate frame component which also shows about 900 km when I set the correct starting date. However, it does not change the 2600 km on the bike. How can I resolve this?

Im giving up on this app, my feed is so full of strava notifications that i give up trying to find the posts i am interested in. Everything seems to be designed to encourage getting a subscription, mine stopped when the cost was secretly increased.Its sad really, this used to be a unique and useful app but there are better options out there now  

A bit biased, but... https://strautomator.com 🙂 All the features I wish Strava had built-in, but I know it won't (as most are quite "niche"). So I decided to develop them. Automations to change the activity metadata, custom weather details, auto activity muting, gear component mileage tracking, integration with external ICS calendars (so you can see your upcoming club events and past activities), automatic FTP estimations, plus some other little bits.

In the past when creating routes with the global heatmap activated there was a lot more available than there currently is.  If I look at the global heat map outside of the route creator with all sports selected, I can see these additional heat lines.However, if I go into the route creator, there is no option for all sports and so it gets filtered by preferred activity (biking, running, hiking, walking, etc...), but none of these is anywhere near as detailed as the global heat map with all sports selected. Is there any way when creating a route to have the global heat map show all sports again.  I have often used this when creating routes on less traveled trails, but that still had enough traffic to show up on the global heat map (and still show up on

Hi, why don’t I get fitness points for both workouts if I do two workouts same day? Anyone experienced the same?

Em fase de recomeço aos treinos com bicicleta de cidade, procuro pessoas na zona norte de Portugal, área metropolitana do Porto, para começarmos a criar um pequeno grupo que incentive uns aos outros a pedaladas leves, tranquilas e apoiadas por gente educada, Estou no Canidelo, Gaia, PortugalRodrigo Gael TRANSLATION: In the phase of restarting city bike training, I'm looking for people in the north of Portugal, the Porto metropolitan area, to start creating a small group that encourages each other to ride light, calmly and supported by educated people,I'm in Canidelo, Gaia, PortugalRodrigo Gael

Although I have not set a goal, are there any runners that might be interested in running and recording high mileage as a club/group on Strava, it can be a weekly, a monthly or a yearly total.

I use my Apple Watch 6 to record my "indoor ride". I ride an indoor resistance trainer with Garmin speed/cadence sensors. When I save my ride, and it syncs to STRAVA, the distance is missing. I tried doing the "correct distance" but I do not get that option when I go into the activity and click the three dots.

If I start recording from the app on my pixel phone, data seems to record correctly. If I start recording from strava app on the pixel watch 2 the data is wrong.  Is this a bug with the watch app?

Hello,  I'm looking for a way to connect the health data of my samsung watch 6 with my strava account on my phone, in a way I can see my bpm per km for the activities I record. For now, even if I did connect my watch 6 with my strava account, I can't see it on my phone, the goal is to go for a run only with my watch and not with my watch + my phone.  Also I read that I can have a strava code to connect it, but on my watch I don't have anything to enter the code on strava 😞 Thank you for your help !

I've linked my Strava account to my JustGiving account but every time I do a walk, I just see a map showing an area of the Pacific Ocean, and my walk route is not shown when I reposition the map to my location. Any idea why ?

Today I went riding with a friend but forgot my Garmin.  We did the same route; he had his Garmin and uploaded his route to Strava.  How can I (if I can) upload "his" route to my Strava?   Many thanks.

How was your experience?
