I'd like to look back at my training from 3 years ago, when I did something "right" and had better power than I do now. The current design of the Fitness & Freshness graph maxes at 2 years or "All-Time" which goes back to 2013 for my graph. The ability to zoom in on a section of that graph, like we can the various "Analysis" graph, would be great. 

If you’re a tennis fan, you know that one of the biggest events in tennis is about to begin. The oldest tennis tournament in the world, The Championships, or Wimbledon, will bring thousands of tennis loving fans to England where they can take in one of the 675 matches that are scheduled between July 3 and July 16 this year. Since 1877, some of the greatest in tennis - Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King, Björn Borg, Serena & Venus Williams, Roger Federer, Steffi Graff, and Andre Agassi - to name a few - have showcased their skills on the only one of the four Grand Slam competitions played on grass. Of al

When I start Strava on my Google Pixel Watch 2, it searches for GPS, but is not able to get a fixed GPS. I have kept on several times and for several minutes without any success.  GPS position is allowed and the GPS is set to accurate position. Would be extreme grateful for any help or hints to resolve this issue. NB! Fitbit and Maps get the position within seconds.

Is the home feed/dashboard now limited to 50 activities before it says "No more recent activity available"? 50 activities is rather low limit. It seems to keep getting lower and lower. What will the next limit be? 25 activities?

It seems odd that the graph below for the yearly goal shows only 11 months and January is excluded. The labels under the graph show Jan where the data for February is. See the picture below:Any progress starting from February 1st is shown properly on the graph and you can see whether it is below or above the goal line. But anything logged in January is shown as a dot at the beginning. That seems like a really odd design.Also, I should mention that if the goal is exceeded at the end of December, that doesn't fit on the graph because the top of the graph aligns with the goal line.  

Hi! I want to create a challenge. 10 km per week for 12 weeks period. How can I create this? Based on below, I would assume the counter does not reset every week.  As of now I've created: Group Challenge --> Most Activity --> Distance --> Kilometers --> Run --> Start date + End date (12 weeks) --> Name & Description.  Appreciate any input, 

I see in the activity tab yearly stats for running, cycling and swimming. But I want to know how many times I went surfing. How do I see that? 

Is it possible to create a challenge where i challenge each group member to complete a goal, ie everyone complete a 5k, and at the end i can see who all completed that distance in a single run/walk? This is for a sports club! I just want to post a weekly 'challenge' ( and be able to check everyone off easily!!)

Hi,Subscription level: SubscriberGoal: As a user, especially the one paying, I want to create a group challenge that offers a group goal and shows a leaderboard. Roadblocks & examples: As a user, I currently cannot create a challenge that meets these needs. It is possible to create a Group Goal challenge, but that one doesn't show a leaderboard. Similarly, Strava offers the Most Activity challenge which does show a leaderboard but where participants do not work on a group goal. Earlier conversations on this topic: I found one conversation called Group Challenges User Interface that is similar to the problem I pose above, but where the accepted answer is not satisfactory in my case.&n

It’s great that Strava offers McMillan training schedules, but it is frustrating that those are on accessible on the website and not within the app. Ideally, they would be customizable for all race/run distances and frequency ;currently they don’t offer 10 mi and when you select 2-3 runs a week, it gives you a 4 run schedule. 🫠.)Also, I’d love to be able to integrate this with a calendar so that I can adjust my runs per my schedule. 

Hi all, lately I've been noticing anomalies in the power data in Strava for a workout from Zwift. This has now happened a few times, only with Zwift workouts.When I train outside with my Favero power meter, it works perfectly.This is what happened:- Export workout from Join to Zwift- Workout done in Zwift, activity is uploaded to Strava, TrainingPeaks, GarminConnect.The power data in Strava is very different from TP and GC. Especially for the 10-50 second intervals.I'm following a training schedule from Join, which reads the wrong data from Strava, so it doesn't rate my workouts correctly, which makes pretty annoying.I have attached screenshots from Zwift, showing the correct values. TP and GC also show the correct values, but Strava does not. I've already removed the activity from Strava, and added the fit file from Zwift again, but with the same results.Using: Elite Direto XR smarttrainer connected via Bluetooth to Zwift o

Hi!I am using Strava a few years now, and I have some older activities that had the elevation corrected by the old feature when you clicked over the elevation value and corrected but I am seeing that the values where very different from reality. I want to re-run the elevation correction with the new feature but clicking the 3 dots menu I don't have that option. How can I do it without exporting GPX, reimporting and loosing all comments and kudos?

I recorder a ride this morning on my Edge Explorer 2. It synced fine on Garmin Connect (and a map of the ride is visible both on the device and on Garmin Connect), but no map is showing in Strava and no segments are matched. Even more strange is that the activity still shows “Matched Rides” and if I select “Save Route” in the menu, the full map of the ride appears and can be saved as a course!Any ideas how to fix?

Can we submit blog ideas and write blog posts for Strava?I am interested in a day in the life of Strava employee:How does your day start?Do you work from home or go in?How do you get to campus?What type of food do you eat on campus?Do you listen to music during work? Is there a Strava playlist?What are the upcoming product launches you are excited about?What is one thing you would want the users to know about Strava? How are the different office campuses across the world?Any cool paintings or sports memorabilia inside?How does a typical day end?

Recently I was riding and every time I completed a mile, the elapsed time for the mile would pop up at the top of the screen.  However now I don’t see that anymore.  I love that feature and want to know how to enable it again. 

As of a few days ago, my audio notifications have stopped working. Strava doesn't announce when I start or stop a work out or my miles. I am using Android on a Samsung phone. I have tried all of the following:- Reboots- Uninstalling/re-installing Strava (with reboots)- All 4 volumes are up- Matching my Text-to-Speech language with my system language (English on both)- Turning off and on the audio cues for miles and start/stop- With and without headphones. I hear other notifications, such as texts in both cases Any other ideas?Thanks,Tim

Hello. I feel like crying....😫It is the second year now that I cannot get my 50% promo code to work.Can anyone assist me in showing me where to enter the promo code so I can redeem it? My subscription is ending today and the only option is via apple store where there I no option but to pay the full subscription.

Hello Strava Community! I rode 6600 km this year, with a part of this kilometers done through commuting. I am curious to know which part has been achieved through commuting, and which part achieved through "standard" ride. Is there a way to compute / display this information easily in Strava (mobile or laptop version)? I have been looking for it, and the training recap is weekly, not doing a total of km for a given year.Thanks for your help, and let me know if my request is not clear! Gilles D.

Good morning all, I have a Galaxy 5 Pro watch and I want to know if there is anyway I can get it to vibrate on every KM I cover. My old Galaxy sports watch had this feature.  

If you enjoy one of the many activity types on Strava, have a brand you love or just want to meet others in your area; chances are there’s a Strava club that fits your interest. There are clubs for a variety of sport types, universities, big names in the shoe, bike and clothing industries and so much more. If you’re not seeing a club that fits your needs or you have a group of folks that want to start a club, you can create your own! Follow the steps below to get started….Note: at this time, clubs can only be created via the Strava website, not via the app. Pro Tip: If you are creating a club for a brand or larger organization, it’s good practice to create a separate email account that will be used exclusively for the admin use of your Club.1. From the Club Search page, click on

I ride 2 Mountain Bikes but can only set one of them to default sport "Mountain Bike". The moment I try and set the other bike also to default "Mountain Bike" the first bike default is "Blanked out". Why is that?Also, for those of us who travel regularly and use a hotel stationary bike it would be cool to have a bike type option "stationary bike".And while I am at it, I also ride a "hybrid flatbar" which is neither road nor mountain, can there not be a "Hybrid" type option. 

My “routes” continue to show that I am “offline” and won’t load anything, and won’t let me create a new route. Tried deleting the app and turning off/on phone. Suggestions?
