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?

I've already allowed all the permissions and it is working fine if I do activities like cyclism or running using Samsung Health. Usually it syncs well with full functionality with Strava afterwards.But if I start the same activity in Strava instead of Samsung Health, it doesn't show my watch as a cardiac sensor so it is unable to get my heart data, unless I do it by Samsung Health and wait for sync.This should not be a problem at all, but for weight lifting, the Strava app does not sync automatically with Samsung Health. Also, if I select weight lifting in the app, it doesn't show any cardiac sensor available and therefore is not possible to track my heart rate.

Sugiero poder configurar la privacidad de la actividad según su tipo o incluso según unos tiempos mínimos o km de actividad. De lo contrario saturas la app de tus contactos o tienes que bloquearlo todo e ir activando la configuración para cada actividad independientemente si eres de esos que registrando todo. Gracias, saludos. TRANSLATION:  I suggest being able to configure the privacy of the activity according to its type or even according to minimum times or km of activity. Otherwise you saturate the app with your contacts or you have to block everything and activate the settings for each activity regardless of whether you are one of those who record everything. Thanks greetings.

Hey, I recently started a group challenge - 90 miles in 30 days - "90 in 30" and a club "Sam B's 90 in 30 Club". I think a great feature would be to able to add/make challenges through clubs, not just events. So for example my club 'Sam B's 90 in 30 club' would include a challenge every 30 days/month of 90 miles in 30 days (Walking,`Running, Hiking) instead of these two things being separate. I understand this might be a premium feature, since I can only make 3 challenges with my current account. I'm also a graphic designer and would love to create and add my own badge to my 90 in 30 challenge for successfully completing it, make my trophy case all snazzy. Either this is a feature already and I don't know how to do it or could be a great creative opportunity especially if we could create challenges through clubs. Would love to hear everyones thoughts!Sam B  

Some time ago the mobile app spontaneously changed my language from English to Russian. I don't know Russian, I use the English version. How can I restore the correct language? Everything is fine on the website. I reinstalled strava but this did not help.

I recorded a yoga workout in strava on my Samsung 6 classic watch not connected to my mobile. When the watch connected to the mobile nothing synced and the workout has disappeared. The watch shows 0 unsynced in the settings. I thought I didn’t need my phone to record on Strava.

Hello everyone!In the last 3 weeks, my Strava data started showing steps taken during a walk (in-app, Android).They're wildly inaccurate - today, 5.33 mile walk = 584 steps! 😄How can I stop the steps showing or make it accurate? Thanks in advance, Sarah

When devising a new route on Strava's mapping tool from a PC, I cannot draw the return route over an existing section of the route. Manual mode does not seem to solve the problem either. Is there an easy fix, what am I doing wrong, it used to work just fine, and this is the only reason why I pay for Strava. I am already having to post the group rides in Ride with GPS, but I would rather return to Strava is I could get it to actually work like it used to work. Any guidance is appreciated!

Hi.  I've just tried to create a new segment; the correct screen flashes up then disappears to a 'blank profile' sort of screen with no options.  I've created many segments in the past and this is the first time this problem has occurred.  Any ideas?  I'm on a Mac.

Hi all,I am thinking about getting a premium membership.As I've seen that there is a coupon for a yearly membership at the end of each year in the recent years, I was thinking, if it is possible, to prolong a membership early, an make use of a coupon is available.So if I start a yeary membership now, could I prolong this membership early, let's say in December this year, and use a coupon for it then?

Hi - activities logged on Strava have synched with my enthuse fundraising page without issues in the past. Yesterday, none of my two activities did synchronise with my enthuse page, but today's activity did. Any ideas of how I can 'force' a synch for yesterday's activities?

I have my unit of measurement set to KM but all my best efforts are shown in miles. I reinstalled the app after powering my device for 10 seconds but this is still the case. How do can I fix this so my stats are only in KM. Thanks
