Ok, it looks like there aren't any posts specifically on this topic, so I don't feel too bad about starting one. However, if there is one or you feel that this isn't the place for this discussion, please feel free to yell at me.So, long story short, I'm looking to upgrade my watch and get a dedicated running watch. Dedicated is definitely the operative word, there. I have been using a Galaxy Watch 3 for quite a while now and, while it is serviceable, it just doesn't do the things I want it to do.I know that Garmin is the #1. I know that it's #1 for a reason, too. It seems to offer the best... well... everything, especially if you don't worry too much about price. However, something is really, really attractive about Coros. I can't put my finger on why I want one, but... I just do.I've had my eyes on either the Coros Pace 2 or the Garmin Forerunner 255, but then Coros released th

Hi Legends. Maybe a simple question but I just can't find an answer. I've recently lifted my efforts to work back to a level of fitness. On my home page on the left I have a message that says "You're building fitness nicely. Try to keep the remainder of the week under 4." 4 what? I don't understand the reference? It's under a heading of relative fitness but that like 100, etc. Can someone help? Cheers,

It's great that uploaded activity photos in Strava web can now be rearranged. Problem is, each time I drag one photo and drop to another location, a duplicate of that photo appears. I end up having to select the duplicate photo and delete it, repeat for each duplicate.

Is there anyway to improve the accuracy of GPS from Garmin for open short distance sea water swims?

Hi - it would be really useful if the distance and time of activities could be expanded. It currently finishes at six hours and 50 miles. I have done a 100 plus rides of 50 miles this year alone. It would be good if I could search rides of 100 or even 125 miles (200k). Also it would be great if they could be ordered in chronological order. Thanks

Hello, I currently have an indoor trainer, but it gets quite boring. I am looking to voice chat with people during rides to keep each other motivated. I have tried zwift and I really like the platform, but I found many of the voice chatrooms empty.  Is anyone interested in connecting and chatting during rides? 

 With WatchOS 9.x the Strava complication icon appears to be quite hard to see, but I’m reasonably sure it used to be quite clear. I’ve explored changing the watch face but it doesn’t appear to restore the original icon style.Anyone noticed this?In this article you can see what it possibly used to look like: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000161184-Strava-Apple-Watch-App.

HelloI am having an issue with updating gear of some of my activities. By default, I used to record bicycle activities on my mountain bike.For my road bike activities, I do not manage to update the gear. The process I follow is:Open the activityClick on editChange the gearSaveBut nothing happens. I have to add that these activities seem to be virtual rides. Yesterday I did a real ride and this one I can edit the gear normally (and save).How can this be solved?

Welcome back to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava! Today we’re happy to present a Question and Answer session with Strava Employee Sarah from our Community Management Team.Q: Hi Sarah - tell us a little bit about yourself.Hey, hi, hello! I’m a world citizen, passionate cyclist, mother, photographer, and avid adventurer. I have been employed at Strava for two years and love to be immersed in an environment where inspiration for movement is constantly trickling in from every corner.Q: I heard you had a pretty epic cycling adventure last winter. What did you do?I went on my first solo bikepacking trip and rode my bike 1600 miles (2575 kilometers) in 16 days, from my front door in Denver, CO to my friend’s front door in Knoxville, TN. I had some unexpected encounters with extreme cold

Heya, I'm planning on buying a new bike. My intention is to go for a CX one-by. I'm also planning to use the bike as a roadbike in summer. Hence my qustion is: Does anybody know or have experiences in changing the charinring? 40 or 46 teeth are maybe not sufficient to ride with lads on tarmac. I'm planning to switch the chainrings in summer and fall to convert from "crosser" to "roadbike" and vice versa. Is this technically possible? Please don't try to warn me about different geometries. I've tried the different frames and in the end it's always the legs not the reach nor the stack which is your limiter. I'm not planning to compete in the Giro oder the Vuelta. Thank you in advance. Keen on your input.

Hey Strava Family!We've finally reached Holiday Season, also known as "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"!Personally this is a very exciting time for me. I have a winter birthday, I get a chance to fly home and spending quality time with my family, I get to pile huge amounts of food on my plates (my personal favorite), and I get a chance to mentally reset as I get ready for the next year. What about you?What you looking forward to the most the Holiday Season?Share your Holiday Experience!

Hi - quick intro - been on Stava for years but just subscribed and joined the forum. Was doing Triathlons, and might go back, but currently focussing on strength (Kettlebells) and running (trail running especially, thinking of going long..).Looking at maps on the iPhone, I see a nice list of some popular routes, but, of course, the screen is small. When I plan a route on the desktop I see the start point for these routes but can't access the full route. I'd like to be able to use parts of these popular routes in my own routes. Is there a way to display these?Thanks!

I love the ability to create and save Routes in the subscription version and find it very useful for planning multi-day tours and future holidays. It is very frustrating however that I can't seem to be able to search "My Routes" on either the app or web-based version. This was fine when I only had a few - but as they build up over time it is a real pain to find desired one whether to review, edit, share or use.There is a search bar with choice of activities, segments, athletes etc - but it disappears when it comes to "my routes' which I can't understand, having been able to set up, name and save routes.Am I missing some feature or something in settings? or do I have to use some other application to manage and plan routes?Grateful for any guidance.Thanks.

Anyone else unable to see Blybys yesterday or today? When I click on View Flybys, Strava Labs opens but then I see "Error: Server error! Reload to try again". When I open my browser's console, I see the following error displayed:Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://nene.strava.com/flyby/matches/8150900019' from origin 'https://labs.strava.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.78a2ce731c39b76efe02943492024854.js:1 failing: Server error!

After the last media-related update of the web version, all previously entered photo descriptions are deleted when you edit anything in the activity. I had lost quite a few of them before I knew what is going on 😞

Hi, I am a Marketing Professor researching on the field of mHealth apps and consumer behavior. I would be very interested in accessing to some anonymous Strava database of people´s activities recordings. Do you have any kind of partnership for that with universities? Thanks a lot,

Hello, for some reason, Strava will no longer save the indoor cycling tag on my activities. As such, it does not remove the map and post relevant data charts for an indoor ride (HR, power, cadence etc.). I have tried multiple times to select the tag and hit save like I have always done. Any suggestions would be appreciated!Thank you.

Currently, when I ride, I simply click the "record" button and then save that activity. It shows nicely in my Activity Feed, and tracks in my statistics.Now I have entered a Route into Strava and will use the app for navigation. Will that automatically create an Activity? or do I need to also click the "record" button?Thanks!

Welcome to Strava Community Hub! Use this thread to introduce yourself and meet some new people. We'd love to hear more about who you are, what activities interest you and also importantly what your favorite cheese is 🧀?  Here's mine: Scotland born but now California based (the 😎 shines more here) I love hiking, running (sometimes) and also hoping to establish maze based walking/solving as an up and coming sport type, cause it's a real workout running round those things.  I love cheese. My favorites right now are anything from Wisconsin or California though especially enjoying Gouda recently and trying out some vegan cheeses like Cashew or Smoked Gouda.  Share your story, favorite cheese or favorite cheese based story.     

We recently hosted our first exclusive AMA (Ask Me Anything) session featuring one of Strava’s Senior Software Engineers. This was an unprecedented opportunity for a select group of Community Hub’s Top Contributors to chat with a tenured Strava engineer about all things Strava, ask product questions, and get a deeper understanding of Strava features. The conversation went so well, so we wanted to share a brief summary of the event: There were 15 questions for our Strava engineer to answer and some of the topics that were discussed included: Removing your own PRs and Best Efforts Points of Interest

why is the create a route feature on desktop and app rubbish at the moment.dont like paying for something that does not work properly

Strava también es bueno para polar vantage M por favor

It would be great if Strava had an ability to submit bug reports where the submitter would be at least told that the bug has been acknowledged versus ‘works as intended’ or ‘no intent to fix’.  Submitting bugs as ‘feedback’ gives no acknowledgment so one ends up submitting the same feedback repeatedly.it’s telling that even here in this forum, there are no labels specific to bug reporting or support

  “Still round the corner there may wait a new road or a secret gate, and though I oft have passed them by, a day will come at last when I shall take the hidden paths that run west of the moon, east of the sun”Frodo Curiosity. This, right here, is why we venture into the world. To see what is behind the secret gate. To take the hidden path and discover what’s out there. If you are, like me, a Tolkien fan, the above quote and its owner should sound familiar. If not, somehow those words still hit the same - a sense of curiosity, discovery and perseverance is part of being human every time we leave our home, but especially when exercising in nature, discovering new landscapes on our adventures and sharing our experiences with the world.There is no better fee

Je débute sur strava et je vois, pour mes activités, l'allure (temps/km) mais je ne vois pas affiché la vitesse (km/heure). Où puis-je trouver la vitesse? Merci TRANSLATION: I'm new to Strava and I see, for my activities, the pace (time/km) but I don't see the speed (km/hour) displayed. Where can I find the speed? THANKS
