When I go to the gym, I record my workouts on the Apple Watch Strava App... If I forget to 'Finish' and 'Save' the recording before I take the watch off to shower, then it doesn't sync and effectively disappears... Is there someway to keep the recording so that when I put the watch back on it will sync then??

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, I find the Strava challenges as a good motivation to get out and about. I have noticed that I am seeing less challenges and only ones recommended for me. Is there anyway if accessing more random challenges like there used to be? It may be that I am not a premium account holder.Hopefully someone can advise.Thanks 

Hi  Could someone please tell me how I change the settings on my activities.... I would like to see max speed

Hi all, I have been a full member for a number of years but only recently started to use the detailed analysis screens. I have an indoor trainer and an e-bike. Is there a way I can filter the power curve by activity type? In other words, exclude the virtual bike when I want to see  only the power curve of my outdoor rides and vice versa? I'm sure the two power meters are giving slightly different readings and skewing the results, it would be interesting to compare them against each other, Thanks in advance,

Bonjour  J'ai un problème aidez-moi  J'ai voulu modifier mon mot de passe car je ne m'en rappelais plus c'est ce que j'ai fait mais lorsque je me suis reconnecté j'ai été sur un nouveau compte j'ai donc perdu mon ancien compte pourquoi Good morning I have a problem help me I wanted to change my password because I couldn't remember it that's what I did but when I reconnected I was on a new account so I lost my old account why    

Strava recently added Local Legends for all foot-base activities, which was a great addition. Unfortunately, it seems you forgot to add a “Segments” tab to Snowshoe activities, even though those activities qualify for competing on segments. Snowshoe: Hike: Seems like a bug to me. A fix would be much appreciated 🙂

Strava showing when I am trying to post, "Creating Posts is temporarily disabled. Please try again later." Why I am seeing this? 

Is there a way to edit mileage from runs on a cruise ship?  I've done a few runs while out at sea on the ship's jogging track and my mileage gets way overstated though my times are fantastic.  I'd like to be able to back down the mileage to make my times as accurate as possible.

Hi, I'm evaluating the purchase of an annual subscription, I'm Italian, but I'm looking to move to Germany next year... I know that in Germany the cost of subscription is higher, and I'd like to know if my annual subscription purchased in Italy will be usable when (and if, I'm not 100% sure at the moment) I move to Germany... I've searched info regarding this matter (other country also) but I haven't found anything...Thank You

I've been using Strava for some time, but this is my first post to the Campfire Chat. I usually use my Coros watch and upload after training, however, in the near future I hope to do a multi month hiking trip. Depending on battery life I'll likely stick with using Strava to measure my hikes via the app on my phone. If my phones battery starts to die I'll likely use my Coros watch. My issue is that I won't be able to access the internet for days at a time. So I wonder, can the Strava app keep track of my hikes and upload them when i have wifi. If so how many can the app store?I could foresee myself needing to store 7 days of hikes, potentially with each day comprising about 12 hours of hiking. Many thanks in advance. 

I used the Routes feature in search of a new, ~60 mile spin around DC. One of the suggested courses took me to a busy, non bike-friendly intersection just off the capitol beltway in Northern Virginia (pics att.)   . I would never consider riding this stretch of road and feel sorry for any non-local who would find themselves there.  This isn’t the first time that a route has taken me down a sketchy stretch of road. A similar thing happened to me at the beach over the summer where I was pointed down a straight, fast, 2-lane highway with no shoulder.  Maybe some of these questionable routes were created with group rides in mind (strength in numbers and all), but I wonder if some aren’t drawn by bots. In any case, I’m using other resources to guide my rides in unfamiliar territory.

A new user has appeared in my area in the last few weeks.  They have recorded quite a few activities, mostly as Mountain Bike Rides, and almost all have been flagged due to infeasible high speeds.  The speeds have been high enough to be dangerous to other road users - such as 60 mph on a street with a limit of 30 mph and today it was over 100 mph (for about a mile on a flat road) where the speed limit is 70 mph.  I worry that Strava might be used by people boasting about the high speeds they can achieve with motor bikes or cars.  Simply flagging such activities doesn't seem to be enough - can Strava do something to stop this reckless and dangerous behaviour ? I think I saw somewhere that Strava would remove accounts showing inappropriate behaviour, but I don't know how this works in practice.

Hi. Rather than toggling back-and-forth between the map screen and the statistic screen, I would like to have a split screen with the map on top and the stats below. Unfortunately, that only happens when I pause my ride. As soon as I get going the entire screen is either all map or all stats, and I have to physically toggle back-and-forth, which can be difficult to do while mountain biking. Any suggested solutions? I’m using the free access (I’m not a subscriber, yet). Thank you. 

Hi,Isn't it time you had a 'Strava Pro' page or category? Let the amateurs have their app back. 

I did the wolvwerhampton to Aberdovey bike ride yesteday but had a few mechanical and need a 15 miles lift, can you crop the middle of a ride with out loosing either end?

I wanted to report an issue that I observe from time to time on my activities. Occasionally, when I finish a run and upload it to Strava it shows that I have some achievements there. Then I open the run and look at the list of segments and see a smaller number of achievements there.For example, today I had two achievements shown in the feed - two second best efforts on segments. But the list segments shows only one second best effort. In the past I assumed that could be due to hidden segments. But if I look at hidden segments on the web, I get yet another number of achievements, that is different from the number of achievements in the feed.It would be good if Strava engineers sorted this out. 

As you can see on the screen below, I can not see last week achievements. I tried to click at date of calendar but can not see any thing. And I can not see monthly tag also. I set all privacy to public already. Could you please instruct how to display monthly task?Thank you.   

My name is Nick, a long time Strava-er here to finally say hello!I remember a time before Strava, and I remember the period of time when I resisted using Strava, preferring to stick to manually writing down my daily ride statistics in a notebook and manually (well, with my TI-89 calculator, at least) calculating monthly and annual totals at the end of each respective time period. I remember when I finally gave in and made an Instagram account because, at the time, posting a picture to Instagram while actually in the middle of an activity was the only way to get a picture posted to your activity on Strava. After all this time and all of the iterations of Strava, I can truly say that I enjoy it. It has definitely had some hiccups, and I have had to personally take some mental health breaks from it, but for the most part, I believe Strava to be a great tool.After all these years, I have decided to stop thinking of all of the ideas I have that could improve my experience o

Hello Everyone,is there some app around which analyses activities uploaded to Strava and adds the waytypes and surfaces ridden/ran in this activity to the activity description?I really enjoy this feature in the Komoot Routeplanner and would like to see some of this analysis post-ride in my activities.Best regards,Maximilian

Hi I have been using Strava for some time now mainly for road biking, and is superb, but recently I have add a MTB rides for more variety! So my suggestion is to add an separate leader board for elevation. The reason for this is MTB rides are shorter and cannot much road rides , so MTB riders can't compete with road riders for distance , but they can much elevation! Recently I have done 63 miles ride with nearly 3500 ft elevation ( road) and few days later MTB ride 30 miles and similar elevation! I think that will be a perfect add two leader boards one for distance second for elevation so clubs/ riders can achieve something in a different way. Maybe someone cover that topic before, just my thoughts now, much appreciated for any replies and support! 

In Germany it is not possible to get products from „the feed“ so it would be better not to offer the challenge from „the feed“  because I made this challenge and tried it out to get the reward. But it wasn’t possible. Somethings couldn’t generally not shipped to Germany, other products like the Strava bottle only with horrible shipping fees. Greetings & hope that someone can do something 

All those challenges, lets use the strava challenges as examples..... I used to see them all in my feed the minute they came out, I also used to see when everybody else had joined a challenge. Now if i want to join a challenge, I have to go and look for it? Why is this? what has changed with the challenges? Have you made them location based?

Hi is there a way to group multiple rides with say a tag, so that you can view the totals as well as the individual data/statistics? 

Hello and Welcome back to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava.   Today we have a special guest joining us; Welcome Jimi!  Strava employee, and cycling enthusiast, he's here today to talk about his experience using the Zwift training platform. Jimi:   I remember back when I first experienced winter as a cyclist. I put my bike on the trainer, put on some music, and stared at a wall or watched old bike racing videos. A lot has changed since those early days of training solo in my basement waiting for the weather to get better. The world of indoor cycling and virtual training has witnessed a game-changer for indoor riding and racing, enter Zwift. Combining the power of technology
