[Archived] Athlete Community

When placing athletes who use MTB bikes together with those who use road/gravel bikes in the same ranking, a discrepancy is created. The App should separate athletes when making their equipment choices when carrying out the activity (MTB x road/gravel.

In the Strava app (for iOS, at least), tapping on a photo from the Home Feed or from inside an activity opens a dedicated Photos View that you can scroll through vertically. In that view, every photo shows the time it was taken right below it. The problem is Strava reads the wrong metadata field for this timestamp.I do some quick, light editing on my photos before exporting them to my desktop, then uploading them to Strava. As a result, every photo I take during my hikes gets uploaded with a timestamp around 11 p.m. or midnight on Strava.It looks to me like Strava reads the File Modification Date/Time field, rather than Create Date, or Date/Time Original, or even Modify Date, all three of which are usually identical (and all three of which are available in my exported/uploaded photos). So Strava needs to change the priority of the fields it reads as the timestamp.As far as I can tell, photos upl

Hallo, Ik heb afgelopen week een pr gelopen op de 5k, maar komt niet tussen mijn 'beste tijden' te staan, hij is helemaal niet zichtbaar, weet iemand hoe ik dat kan oplossen? Alvast dank!  TRANSLATION: I ran a PR on the 5k last week, but it is not among my 'best times', it is not visible at all, does anyone know how I can solve that? Thanks in advance!

Suggestion: offer filtering of what historic route types and speed is used to inform "popular" - allowing users to select "popular with cycling" or "popular with running" only, and ideally "minimum / maximum speed of XX kmph for the path"This would reduce many issues with suggested routes directing users down roads that are actually inappropriate, and where known / statistically identifiable journey types have significantly different routing requirements (e.g. cycling rides will typically be longer, higher average speeds etc.) Problem: Within Build a Route - the "follow most popular" pathing does not have different data for Running / Walking vs Cycling. Most Popular is often not the most appropriate route. Plotting a Road Cycling route will direct a cyclist down a very popular path, popular because it is used by runners/walkers - i.e. inappropriate for cycling,

Hi, I have a team challenge which starts tomorrow (1st Sept) but I notice the leaderboard presents/refreshes weekly. Firstly, if I want to take a snapshot of week 1 will I have to manually capture each individual activity or is there a way to pull this? Secondly, can't I just add when the challenge is from and to so that its a constant leaderboard rather than changing? 

Just curious about the guy that’s logged in hundreds of miles of biking in less than a week in the September running challenge. He’s number 1 and he’s not running and even his biking seems to be unrealistically a huge amount. I think it’s in the 1000s of miles actually but I’m not good at metric system 

Is there a way to tap the whole activity and give kudos instead of tapping the tiny little icon? I think many people would benefit from double tapping the whole activity, instead of having to tap the tiny little thumbs up. This is because I often miss it and end up at the map or in the activity instead of giving kudos. Any solutions?

In the goals/progress area, my progress toward a mountain biking goal does not appear to update correctly.   It shows progress based on my miles completed several months ago vs miles completed to date.

The graph of my Tempo when running seems to be different on my phone or on the computer.I put them in Excel with WebPlotDigitizer and they are somewhat similar, bot not really. How can this be?      

I am from Pune - India running, cycling with reasonable distance majorly at weekends. I would like to get information about the diet, workouts to improve stamina and lower down the heart rate. Currently while running it goes up to 170-180. Please suggest. Thanks.

Hello everybody! I'm excited to be part of this community and I really hope I can contribute here. I'll tell you a little about myself... Only Brazilian, **bleep** in a city called Palmas do Tocantins. 12 years ago, I faced an accident that left me paraplegic, but since then I have been on a journey of constant overcoming. Today, I am proud to share that I have recovered approximately 70% of my movement and have become an outstanding competitor in several sports.

What: A new Strava map type that any user can use, "Support the Voice" or similar nameBlack-Yellow-Red as per the colours of the Aboriginal flag in AustraliaWhy: On 14-Oct Australia votes in a referendum too grant first nations people a 'Voice to Parliament' which will include a change to our constitution to officially recognised 60,000 years of history and culture, compared to as it currently stands, only recognising 200-odd years of colonial ruleThis is a chance for our great nation to take a huge leap for the better of all. But the referendum is at high risk of failing. It needs all of the support and awareness we can musterThank you for listening and for your support

I received a notification "Nice Climb!" the other evening, for 280 feet of climbing, but there was no activity that would/should have generated this. I was sitting on the couch. Really oddly, the logged heart rate is dangerously high for sitting on the couch, average of 128, when my resting heart rate is high 40's. It almost seems like I received a notification that belonged to someone else. Is this a thing?

I’m doing the GNR on Sunday. Wanting to hope everything runs smooth. If I’m jogging or going at a slower pace than my normal, which is a cert with the amount of people taking part, will my Strava pause or keep going? 

Welcome to the Community Hub and thanks for stopping by! For those of us in the northern hemisphere (above the equator), September marks the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall. For our southern hemisphere members, they kick off the beginning of Spring. This year, the September equinox - where days and nights are said to be equal in length for everyone across the globe - will fall on Sept. 23, 2023.  Also in September, cities across the globe will celebrate World Car-Free Day, encouraging motorists to give up their cars for a day. Highlighting the numerous benefits of going car free, this year over 2,000 cities in 46 countries will participate in World Car-Free Day on Friday, Sept. 22! In addition to reducing air & noise pollution

I'd like to be able to search my cycling activities by one of my named bikes. In other words, I'd like "named bike" to be a search filter.

I would like to increase the volume of the Strava notifications I get while running : for some weird reason, they are sensibly weaker than other notifications/vocal messages I get from other applications (like Garmin for example). I checked the settings, it doesn't look like there is any place I can increase those. I tried a few other apps (Adidas Running, Runmaster, etc., ) and they all are about the same volume, except Strava. The music is dimmed the same way like for the others, but the volume is about the same as the music, so it's difficult to understand the messages (like when a segment is started). Any way to improve that ?

I have a suggestion that I believe could enhance the user experience on Strava by allowing us to categorize routes. The idea is to introduce a feature that enables users to group their routes into customizable categories, such as "Texas," "Mountain Trails," "City Scapes," or any other personalized category name. This feature would provide several benefits:Enhanced Organization: Users could easily find and access specific routes based on their interests or locations, making it simpler to plan their activities.Efficient Navigation: Categorizing routes would make navigation through personal collections more efficient, especially for users with a large number of saved routes.Community Engagement: The ability to share categorized routes with friends or within a group could foster a sense of community and promote route exploration.I believe that implementing this feature coul

You misue the metric system and I want you to correct your user interface language. Example Check out this post on Strava from The Strava Club. https://strava.app.link/pMyMogGuKCb In above:k = 1000, m = metre. Don't break the metric system. You should write 1 km, 5 km, 20 km. Lower case k is not short for kilometre.

I’m a little confused. I am a longtime Strava paid subscriber but I don’t use community resources much. I recently started riding the VeloDrome in my town. On road rides I use both apple watch and wahoo element to track activity. What’s the best way to record inside a covered VeloDrom. It’s under an inflated dome.

I'm new to Strava and I'm trying to view my heart rate data for a workout on the website (not on mobile, my phone is no good for that). So far I can only find this one tiny panel, with no hashmarks or zones, no way to expand it vertically (although there is horizontal zoom), no cumulative stress evaluation, basically nothing. Is there somewhere else in the web app where I can see the same heart rate data with more detail and context? Thanks for any suggestions!

Good morning from Yorkshire, England !  I love to Road cycle, club & solo to explore, enjoy fresh air and company. I cycle between 60-100 miles per week, whatever the weather (almost!). I also walk around London a lot as it’s quick and you get to observe a lot more. i look forward to learning from the group. Thanks !

Hey I posted my run and it didn’t show up on my page. I really need that run is there anyway that you could get it to show back up? Thank you! 

hello, i am running a club and have just discovered that the leaders this week have logged in distances that are too long to be true (for example, 50km in 6000 steps). Strangely the activities were not flagged automatically. How do I resolve this issue?
