In this graph/chart at the bottom showing pace and heart rate, can you tell what is the pace and what is the heart rate? If the answer is 'no', then please add legends on the left and right axis accordingly to it please. Thank you.

It would be great to be able to compare all your Strava segments directly with someone on your friends list so you could see which segments you had in common. (This used to be supported by a 3rd party app so its doable). Cyclists are very competitive this would be a great addition. It would make it much easier to see what segments you have in common so you can try and beat their time. I think when this feature stopped working on the 3rd party app it was stated that it was a privacy issue. This seems strange as you only have people on your friends list that you want and you can block people ìf needed

feature maps should be updated and less political or representative of any organization (debunked or not).  

Hello! I am using Strava for recording windsurfing sessions (amongst others). Although I have selected “metric”, the speed is measured in kn. How can I switch to either kmh or mph? Thanks, Aris

I have a problem when logging into my account from my PC to the strava website. I see not info under Activities or routes or anything else. It works fine using my mobile app. I have tried to contact strava support. I have msged them and emailed and have raised tickets. They say they will get back to me right away but Ive had no response whatsoever. There appears to be no other way to make contact like a phone number. If this persists I will have to cancel my membership which is a shame. Looking online this seems to be a recurring issue. Its disappointing. Does anyone know of a phone number i can use or a better way?

I’ve enabled flyby in the settings, via mobile app and tried via URL sit but I can’t get it to work?

I use Map my Run to record my runs and it integrates to Apple Health perfectly.  Is there a way for this to also link to stava so I don't have to manually download the TCX file and upload it?  When I use Apple Workout from my watch to record my runs it integrates to Strava perfectly  Ideally, I don't have to manually move files nor utilize 2 different running apps at the same time. Any thoughts?

Not sure if anyone has seen this very confusing messaging:https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/01/strava-raises-prices-doubling.html 

I have the band and Mi Fitness app on my iphone 11 Pro. Strava has authorised access . Yet when i start a run and click on the Strava Heart icon it cannot find my Smart Band 7 and so my heart rate is not recorded with my run data.how to solve this ? 

Strava has a lot of great information about my activities, so I'd love to see it use that information to create adaptive training plans.I'd like to be able to do things like:Tell Strava that this is an easy run, so warn me if my heart rate gets too high.I want to increase my efficiency (run faster for same effort/heart rate): use AI to figure this out.I want to increase my endurance for this distance (or where I tell it which route I want to run), again use AI to figure this outEncourage me in appropriate ways during these runsI don't want to have to use other apps (that don't have my long Strava history) to do this.  

My Ergometer supports two modes: normal "bicycle" mode, and "handcycling". When it synchronizes the activites with Strava, I could manually change the sport type to "Handcycle" prior to the recent updates.Since the recent updates, new activities are automatically tagged as "virtual" (which is fine). However, within virtual activities, there are only three sport types: Virtual Run, Virtual Ride and Virtual Row. Because the virtual tag cannot be removed, I have no way anymore of properly recording my activities as handcycle.Hence, I suggest to add the sport type "Virtual Handcycle".Probably, there are also other sport types that should have a virtual twin. An option could also be, to not limit the sport types within the virtual flag, i.e. instead of "Virtual Run", you can just choose "Run" with the virtual tag.

I am not receiving any Strava notifications, and if I try to turn on 'Friends Activities' notifications, the app doesn't realize that it is on. The video upload did not like my link, so here's a video of the app not recognizing it's own settings.https://youtube.com/shorts/OCrteJIsOEE?feature=share

Is there a place where you can see new features being released in Strava?  With the new price increase, I would like to know what new features are being added to know if it continues to be worth the cost.   I do not see a place for release notes or anything like that.    

Hello!Our NGO (https://www.bartali.org.il), is organizing a "challenge" this weekend, in support of the children who lost their families in the war in Israel on October 7th.I would like to ask what is the best way to set up such a challenge on Strava, so people could log-in the miles they are riding, where ever they are (either from their Garmin or from ZWIFT) and it will all be summed on one dash board.Would truly appreciate your prompt help!!

This subscriber feature has been non-working for over two years now; I’m posting it here now in a hope to get some votes and, ultimately, a fix.Steps: In the iOS app, navigate to tab Maps, sub-tab Segments, and select either “Break your record” or “Climb the leaderboard” item.The “Break your record” feature is supposed to show segments with a potential to get a new PR. Instead, it only shows a small amount of segments (two in my case) with very outdated “Current PR” and “Projected finish”. When checking back in my running history, these numbers are from September 2021 (actually around the time when I switched from free Strava to subscription), and weren’t updated since then. The “Climb the leaderboard” should show where you’re close to get to the Top 10. But, instead of showing my regular segments where I actually am close to Top 10 or QOM, a bunch of random segments is listed, at a quick glance I never ran through a single of them. And I think

TRANSLATION:  Strava does not work in the mountains  

A route designed for riding, when opening on the IOS app, is shown on a the heat map of runners. This creates confusion when wanting to deviate from said route, as you may turn into a path that is walkable but not rideable. Any idea what I am doing wrong or is this a bug? Note: I both run and ride and switch between making routes for both often. However, cycle routes are always shown on running heatmaps.

I’m thinking of organizing a one month walk/hike challenge for my colleagues at work. The winner at the end of the month will be the one with the most distance covered. Planning some prizes to give away as well. Would be great if I can create a challenge within the club page. 

When I use apps such as MySwimPro with the Apple Watch it automatically Tuens on the "water lock" feature on the Apple Watch.If I start a swim with Strava on the Apple Watch this doe snot happen. What is more, I cannot swipe up to manually turn on the water lock.Is this just me or am I missing something?

Is the Apple Watch Strava app affected by the new Low Power Modes for Workouts. Does switching on these setting affect a Strava Workout? And if not - can they be integrated? 1. Simple setting - Low Power Mode 2. Advanced setting - Fewer GPS and Heart Rate Readings  

I had to cancel and restart a new account , I have download all the data with my previous activities.. started to upload them, and then suddenly I have top a maximum .. do I have to wait 24hrs to continue uploading a few more, or is there another way .. Thanks in advance  

I've seen these poppoing up on the map and not really sure how to use them properly? I recently found you can long press these and routes pop up but I don;t know if these aer auto-genereated or come from the heatmap of the POI starting there. I'm interested in seeing POIs for parkrun, in theory that should pop up a 5k route that has been run thousands of times. However, I'm not seeing that so wondered what people were doing with them instead.

Apologies if this post is a duplicate, but I hit this as a new user. I asked friends who are long time users and they confirmed they've hit it also.It would be nice if say, when forgetting to switch an activity before a record, and the speed of that activity wasn't possible, rather than terminating the recording of the activity while it's underway (what I believe is what happens..) that the app would record the activity and when clicking "Finish" the app offered up "Hey, this activity was too fast for [activity]. Were you doing something else? [offer navigation to select another activity whose speed range lies within the Record's max speed].Example is doing a walk, then doing a bike - but forgetting to reset the activity type from walk to bike before that bike Record. In my case I got home from my bike (which was recording a walk) and the recording appeared to have just been terminated; the app was not Recording when I got back.I assume the termin
