[Archived] Athlete Community

Hey,Strava has always traditionally been focused on Cyclists, but more and more features are coming out for additional sports. I would like Strava to better support Multi sport, in both activities and athletes stats/data.One way I would like to see this done is allowing the user to set HR Zones per sport type. Currently its a one size fits all which does not fit for athletes who cycle and run.Having this support will also allow Strava to give much better relative effort data. An athlete  might make a habit of going on 2 hour cycle rides Strava sees this athlete can perform for 2 hours, but it doesn't care which sport. On another day the Athlete may go for a 20min run which exhausts them much more than the regular ride they do. But Strava doesn't care, Strava sees they have only done 16% of the work they typically do, so it marks it as a low effort, something it was not. I can't say for sure this is the way Strava works, but this is based on my own

In the Kinomap application, I cycle on indoor custom routes. I configure the routes on https://gpx.studio/ and then export and import the GPX files into Kinomap. In Strava, when I add the Indoor Cycling tag to an activity, the Elevation disappears. Why does this happen? I've noticed that there are many discussions for and against Elevation, and I'll provide an example to contribute to this controversy.In 30 minutes, I can cover 10km with 400m of elevation, and still in 30 minutes, I can cover 20km with only 10m of elevation.

When importing GPX file in strava.com/routes/new, activity is always changed as "cycling". So when I want to import GPX files for my trails, as they are produced by event organizers, the trace is modified by Strava to follow other ways. That's very problematic to prepare my trails. Does anywone have the same issue ? Any idea to solve it ?Thanks ! 

Hello and welcome back to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava.  Strava integrates with a wide range of devices and platforms.  Today we're going to talk about the Polar/Strava integration, explain how it works, and share the answers to some commonly asked questions.   Polar makes a number of GPS watches and cycling computers, and you can also record activities with the Polar Flow App which is available on Android and iOS. To sync your Polar record

I just got a walking treadmill and I use strava on my Apple watch to track my activities, choosing Indoor Run. I like it because I feel it's more accurate than the regular watch exercise app native to the watch. However, I don't need my followers seeing every time I walk on my treadmill for an hour, sometimes twice a day. Right now I have to go in and manually change the setting to Show: Only Me. It would be nice to we could set certain activities to default to Only Me. I think others that track their daily walking commute would probably like the same functionality.

Average power for the whole ride at the end of Power Curve is always lower than Average Power for the ride on the activity page.  Why is that?  Is it because Power Curve does not filter out stops?  Is there an option to filter out stops from the Power Curve like there is an option to exclude non-moving sections from the Average Power calculation?Thanks,Haris

The segment is this: https://www.strava.com/segments/19368887My efforts show for my stats for the segment (13) and for PRs, but when you click the Local Legends stats it shows only one female athlete as having completed the segment in the last 90 days and that person is showing only 2 efforts. I do not appear at all. I'm assuming other women have also completed this segment in the last 90 days as well. 

Hello,Lately my strava app doesn't show the names and details of the rides on the feed. It only shows the map and the date on my activity page and on the feed page some people's rides are only map and some others are normalDoes anyone else has the same issue?  I'm using android appIt only shows map and the date on my activity page and on the feed some people's rides are only map and some others are normal

Hi - could Strava add Scuba diving as an activity?

Hello!  I've used free version and now in 30 day trial, enjoying Strava as I prepare for the upcoming end-of-July 500 mile ride across Iowa, RAGBRAI.  I'm from USA, but the activity I'm seeing of other riders is from Brazil, Turkey, and Spain.  Surprised I do not see any from USA.  I've checked my profile and it looks okay.Any ideas?Thanks!

Hi everyone, recently I started receiving notifications for any post that might appear on any of the clubs I'm member of. This is super annoying as I now get many redundant notifications daily. I don't remember having this in the past, it feels like it started a few weeks ago.Is there any way to disable these kind of notifications? 

Today when giving kudo to one person in a group activity, all people got kudos from me. Nver seen this before today. OK. No problem. However, when other people posted the ride later in the day, and I tried to add a kudos to them, it would show the kudo, but then later delete some of the kudos (some from the original automatic kudos). Every time I refreshed it seems to kudo a different set of people. This is happening with a group activity that I participated in and one that I didn't. Desktop version.

Hi I have an issue with badly incorrect data due to a heart rate strap defect. Emailed support about four days ago and no response. Is there anyone here who can help? thanks

I can't find the feature suggestion board anywhere. Sorry.Suggested feature:A lot of people now own walking pads to use when working from home.When I use mine Strava thinks I have been for a run and I can't change it to walking."Virtual walking" as an activity option would fix this and mean that I don't earn running trophies by accident 🙂Thanks for your time.

Has something changed recently with best efforts? I am getting 'silly' records from activities with GPS problems that I have flagged myself - these never counted before. 

Will it be possible to do the following?Personal best efforts be displayed as follow:Personal Record - all time best effortSeason Best - Summer Winter Year bestAs you get older it is becoming more and more difficult to get PB's.... Will be very nice to see what you have done the last year / season / quarter /

When will Strava Android support  the Pixel Fold and widescreen Android? Lots of screen space to flex Strava UX! 

Today the Strava Community Hub marks a big milestone as we turn 1! From all of us here at Strava, we want to give a huge thank you to each and every one of you, for being here and for your contributions. A Community without members is nothing, so today we’re celebrating you!

Hi Guys I am importing my hiking trails from 3rd party app. I review GPX files manually, and all tracking points look fine, but imported to Strava shows training duration e.g. 1:16h while in origin it was 8:32h. Have any idea? I have already tried such converter https://gotoes.org/strava/Combine_GPX_TCX_FIT_Files.php but the final result is the same.

Hello everyone, my name is Luciano, brazilian, 49 years old and I'm a road cyclist, eventually a mountain biker. I've been a Strava user since 2014, I started uploading from a Garmin device in 2015. I have a question, see many users who manage to record the same activity at the same time, recording from a device and a cell phone. I notice that in this action the distances and elevations accumulate, which is unfair in the monthly challenges. The question is, should we keep flagging these double activities, couldn't Strava detect this automatically? Thank you and good trainings to all.

Hae im Ben an inline speed skater from Kenya, Kindly could you include inline skate as one of the major sport in strava like run and Bike?I noticed that  when you open strava on your Phone then tap on maps then routes there is no inline skate as one of the sports, this hinders you from exploring inline skating around new places.Kindly include inline skate as one of the major sports on strava.

Please tell me why this phrase appears.Also, when I try to register an announcement with the club, the post does not register and continues to go to the login page.  

I'm an avid cyclist and backpacker and I recently completed a 3-day backpacking trip. As usual, I recorded my activities over the three days and everything was great, but I wish there was a feature where I could merge my three separate activities (days) into one activity to show my total stats for the entire trip in addition to each individual day. I camped along the route, so each previous day's endpoint was the next day's start point and I feel like this would be a fairly straightforward feature to add. It could also be applied for bikepacking. Has anyone else wondered about this?
