I did a ride yesterday.  When I finished I did not have internet (until the next day).  I stopped the activity and left it open over night.   Activity was gone this morning.  Is there a way to get it back?

I'm using the Indoor Run option to sync with treadmill runs. Consistently 0.1 to 0.15 miles behind actual. Outdoor runs no issues. Is there another setting to be adjusted? 

Hi,Do you have plans regarding the Android implementation for Health Connect? Specifically, I'm referring to writing data into the Health Connect app.

Welcome to Strava. Perhaps you stumbled upon Strava because of a device you were using, or a recommendation from a friend. Maybe you are an OG and remember the days when Strava only had cycling segments and leaderboards. Regardless of your story we know you want Strava to be the hub for your athletic life and we want to help that happen. Thanks to our public API, Strava works with hundreds of thousands of devices and applications all unique, enabling us to proudly state we are brand and device agnostic. We do our best to process the data properly and accommodate the different intricacies of all of these devices and applications, however, you will inevitably see discrepancies or discover ways we could better support your particular device. For example, have you ever noticed that maybe your elevation isn’t just quite the same as what you saw on your device? Or maybe the application you are using showed one distance while Strava showed another? We know these t

Hi,  firstly apologies if this has been suggested or is fixable already within Strava. I'll be clear, I have not issue personally with heatmaps however, when I am following a saved route it is not helpful or useful having my global heatmap both the same colour and overlaid onto the map that I am trying to follow.  It would be more useful to have the saved route either as a separate colour or, preferably, turned off altogether.Trying to distinguish the route I am trying to follow from a heatmap that are both the same colour is confusing and quite frankly exasperating.

Unfortunately, due to some system error, I have stopped following or being followed. I would like to request a correction or check if this has occurred in other accounts. Thank you very much in advance.

So, my main sport is mountainbike enduro racing and some XC riding. The decisions to block segments with a -0,25% slope removes 98% of the segments i want to ride and it includes both XC & enduro trails. I would like the option to sync those segments on my own risk to my polar watch so i can use the Live segments function. The only thing a want out of it is to see the final time when i have finished my run.Those segments are dangerous with rocks and trees so when strava decides to remove those segments for me it does nothing for my safety, One of the most popular XC trail nearby is claimed as hazardous because it has 2-3 50meter slopes on a 6km mostly flat trail, and it is a mess to send a "false hazardous flag" all the time

Is anyone else excited about the NYC Marathon coming up on Nov 5?  I know I am. More than 50,000 runners will descend on the starting line in Staten Island and pass through all 5 boroughs before finishing the race in Manhattan's Central Park. I caught up with 7 of my Strava colleagues who are running in tis year's race.  Kurt, Sarah, Grace, Brandon, Katie, Tom and Rosana all agreed to answer a few questions I had.  Here's what they had to say:   Lots of excitement about Manhattan but  also shout outs to Staten Island and Brooklyn.  I'm sure the "What's a borough" people will figure that out on ra

I've finally gotten fed up with the Adidas Running app. It was terrific until Adidas bought it but it's gone steadily downhill. I have a Galaxy S22+ and a Galaxy Watch 5. The app constantly loses GPS connectivity and to top it off, most of the time it refuses to take the Samsung Health data to replace a bad workout. So, I've started a trial of Strava and can't seem to find out how to do the following which I can do with the Adidas app: Sync the heart rate monitor in the Galaxy Watch 5 which runs on Wear OS 3 (it didn't work with my Watch 4, either) to the app on the phone. Get audible feed back in time and distance. For instance, with the Adidas app, I can get feedback every two minutes and every half mile. I don't want to have to constantly look at my watch or to use the watch app to get that feed back. Looking forward to any advice anyone has.

Hello October!Welcome to Strava's Community Hub! It’s now spring in parts of the Southern hemisphere and autumn in parts of the Northern hemisphere. Here in the United States October may be considered a sports fan’s favorite month. October marks the time of the year in which 4 major professional sports leagues have scheduled games throughout the month…. -The National Basketball Association (NBA) will begin its preseason on Oct. 5 (regular season will start on Oct. 24)-The National Hockey League (NHL) will begin its regular schedule on Oct. 10-The National Football League (NFL) is in its second month of the season in October-And Major League Baseball has entered its postseason with Wild Card Series (starting Oct. 3) & the World Series (beginning on Oct.

It appears there have been some recent changes in routing that have started causing problems for me.Here's one example:https://www.strava.com/routes/3094852996270569588You can see that instead of simply going straight at the light and crossing the road, Strava's route turns right at Olympic, then makes an illegal U turn across two lanes of traffic. Totally bizarre.Can someone at Strava take a look? Thanks

Hi I clicked on the plain just run button instead of the half marathon training plan. Can I transfer the info over to the training plan please?

Hi folks, I ran a 5K this morning but the 'September 5K x Brooks' challenge isn't updated to show I have ran. Does it take a while to update or is there something I am missing? 

in my opinion it makes no sense to assign the ranking for those who use an e-bike, e-mtb or other electric bikes (I have an e-mtb). The performance is not 100% of the athlete ...

I'm a subscriber who rides an ebike as well as a regular bike. 2 days ago my total mileage included both types of ride. Today, I see only the mileage for the regular bike, which is substantially less than my ebike total. Because I can't set a goal for my ebike rides (i.e. Strava doesn't let me), I use the total mileage to help me keep track of where I am with my personal goals. If Strava is going to make that widget to be only goal-oriented then they need to add another that is total mileage regardless of the bike type. So much for being an all-inclusive company!

Today I noticed that my latest Zwiftride started at 5 pm in Strava but I started it at 7 pm. Then I looked at my other rides and it seems like all my Zwift rides (more then 100 over the last year) got a starting time 2 hours earlier. No issue with real life rides. It's weird because it is the first time I see this. Could it be that the hours changed recently? Or is this a Zwift problem? Greetings

 Hi everyone, today I got an email request to participate in a survey from Naomi I lead the Product Research team at Strava containing an attachment and a url to click on. Did anyone else get this and can confirm if it's legit. I would participate assuming it's not a phish attempt. Thanks for the insight

Hello, it is been a some month since the live segments doesn’t function anymore in my Garmin edge 520. If I’m racing a segment the Garmin show me that it is started but if I’m going on map page my position isn’t correct and if I go on the page were I can see the live times it say me that I’m not on the route. Instead, if I’m going in any page of a segment , when I’m not running, the maps, the ranking and the elevation are totally black without any information. I already try to reset my device and re starring the segments but had not changed nothing. Thanks.

Buenos días. Solo quería que si es posible los retos que se dan a bici muscular virtual y hambike también se pusieran a bicis eléctricas así como los segmentos se pasarán los ya existentes se pulmonar a eléctrica y kom también  Gracias Y espero respuestas. Saludos. TRANSLATION:  Good morning. I just wanted that, if possible, the challenges that are given to the virtual muscle bike and hambike would also be put on electric bikes, as well as the segments that already exist will be transferred from pulmonary to electric and kom as well. Thank youAnd I wait for answers.

I've just started using the Apple Watch Ultra and its Workout app to record my runs, and I'm getting very mixed results with intervals. The other day, I did a simple fartlek run—1:05 on, 1 off, 12 reps—and everything imported just fine. Today I did a 10-minute warmup, a 6-mile steady state, and a mile cooldown—all built as a single Custom Workout, and the middle section came in as literally 100 segments, some of them as short as 15 seconds. I don't know if this is an Apple problem or a Strava problem, but it's a pretty weird one! Any insight here?

Zou leuk zijn voor alle Framerunners dat is ze dit ook goed kunnen registreren via Strava.  Translation:  It would be nice for all Framerunners to be able to register this properly via Strava.  

Not really a question, but a Suggestion: We already have the option to favorite different followers of ours. Why just don’t make one more option regarding activity privacy that shows “favorites only”. With that meaning that just a handful of people, that you self has picked will be able to view your activities and posts.
