[Archived] Athlete Community

I ran a PR on the 5k today.On the activity itself, it says 5k PR 24:00...On the All Time section under profile it says 23:59 from the same activity.Why the difference?

We've seen it all, from frothy beers to dinosaurs to marriage proposals - Strava activities showcase our athletes' creative flex! Have you ever created one of your own or contemplated making one someday? We want you to share what you would like to create (or have created). What challenges do you think you might encounter, and how do you plan on actually carrying the activity out? Did I hear someone say they want to draw a shark by kayaking around their local lake? If you’re looking for a little inspiration for your activity creation, check out our feature of one of our most prolific artists on Strava. Please keep in mind that by sharing your art with the Strava Community, you are willingly sharing data re

I’ve recently received several notifications for lost QOMs for rides I’ve never done. They’re even in states where I’ve never ridden.  The rides, however, don’t show up on my Strava history.  Any suggestions?

Hey, suddenly my strava account has been 'doubled' all my rides are shared with another account and also uploaded there but it makes for difficulty trying to upload my rides to my account. Does anyone know how to fix this? You can check my strava: Frank Rademake, all rides have an exact copy of mine in the 'group activity'

Q:  Hello Will, thanks for joining us for a chat today! Please tell our Community Hub members a little bit about yourself.  A: Hello! I’m Will and I’ve worked on the Community Management team for just under 3 years now. I’m originally from Illinois but have also lived in Southern California and now live and train in Colorado. Before joining Strava I was a college cross country and track coach.  Q: How did you get into running, and what was the key decision factor for you to start running on a professional level?  A: My parents always encouraged me to have an active lifestyle since I was little so I was always spending time outside and pretty well did any sport offered at our small school growing up. Believe it or not the Presidential Fitness test was what really got me interested in runn

It seems a recent change for user profiles (web version) was made in which data under "side by side comparison" is hidden when the user being viewed hasn't uploaded an activity for a few months. (I'm not sure what the exact timeframe is.) It's this way even for people I'm following. I wonder if someone could enlighten us as to why this was done, or if it was inadvertent, can it be corrected? (Or is it in their settings and I just don't know what I'm talking about?)

Would it be possible to improve the data import from Garmin? At the moment the fit file is transferred immediately, which means for me that I have to adjust the title twice (once Garmin once Strava), make corrections to the route twice (if needed), upload photos of the activity twice, enter comments twice, etc..I would prefer a delay before the data transfer and that Strava then also takes over all the changes I have made with Garmin, including the photos of the activity.

I am doing bike training on an ergometer and recording it with my Garmin. Obviously no distance is recorded. The activity itself with time and heart rate is in Strava but without the distance which is anoying as those 1000 km this year I did in the gym are not visible. Why can’t I manually enter the distance as it is possible in Garmin Connect?

I'm trying to invite Strava members I follow to join the Strava club (group) I created; however, I'm having a couple of problems: Not all of my follows are found by the "Invite Athletes" function After clicking the "Invite" button, I'm getting an "infinite hourglass":  

On rides, would it be possible to add a graph indicating average moving speed over time/distance?The reason for this request is that I’d like to see (say) that my average moving speed changed over the course of a ride.  For example, plodding along at 15 miles per hour for each of the first 3 hours and then hitting the wall and dropping to 5 miles per hour in the last 10 miles.

I started encountering a problem yesterday, where, using the Strava web interface, I’m unable to open a segment page by tapping on that segment in the overview. It gives me the correct segments and accurate data, but will not open up the webpage or provide the top 10 list. It just starts spinning wheels where that supposed to be. Any ideas?

Hello Stravarites! Like most of you (i'm sure), i'm a long term Strava user across multiple sports and activities including running, hiking, cycling, E-Mountainbiking, Analogue Mountainbiking etc.I have recently begun tracking a new activity.. ELECTRIC FLIGHT!As a part of my pilot journey, learning to fly in an ELECTRIC recreational aircraft, i have started logging my E-FLIGHTs with Strava. I'm hoping Starva can accommodate me and other electric aviators with an E-FLIGHT activity category soon so we can fine-tune our clubs and growing community of zero-emissions aviators.I'd love you see your comments or Kudos on some of my routes and images from the sky!

Hi there, has anyone else noticed the monthly comparison graph has disappeared and how do I get it back?

Hi Strava community,I am new to the community chat but I wanted to share with you my story of how Strava Beacon saved my life on March 1st of this year.I took off for an after work solo fat bike ride on the Meadow Mountain trail in Garrett County MD, around 3PM on Wednesday, March 1st. You see, this is a trail that I normally ride 3 or 4 times every winter on the snowmobile packed surface. The trail is around 20 miles out and back with around 2,300' of climbing.That day the temps soared into the 60's and no snow was to be found on the trail. As I left my car at the north trailhead I turned on my Strava Beacon as I do every ride faithfully. The text of my life went out to my loving wife of 35 years Shawna as normal. Somewhere on a descent at mile 19 I lost control and crashed head first. Long story short, Shawna and my 23 year old daughter Natalie had gone for an afternoon walk at Deep Creek State Park that day when she got the text. Soon after my wife noticed

Anyone else noticing that the number of achievements noted at the top of a ride (summary) is often different from that noted in the segment section?? What’s up w that. Used to always match. Have only seen this in the past year.  

Trophies are displayed quite prominently in the Desktop and Mobile profile pages. On desktop, Trophies are shown above almost everything else, even above the weekly chart, or recent activities and photos.Personally, I join challenges but the resulting trophies have no meaning to me after the challenge is over. My profile page on the mobile app tells me I have 632 trophies so... yay?Is it just me, or is this just a waste of space on the profile tab/page? Curious to hear alternative perspectives.

I've recently moved to the next age category on Strava.Since my birthday, none of my rides show me as being in the new category.  I can see my previous rides in the earlier category but when I look in the new category, instead of giving me a position on the "leaderboard" it shows a bland, such as   -/ 345Any suggestions?

“Moving across the country to a city where I knew no one, it was really important for me to find community. My first thought was to turn to sports, specifically running, since that’s where I’ve always found “my people”. Strava has played a crucial part in helping me build Pacific Beach Run Club from 3 people in 2020 to now over 200 weekly runners. Our commitment to running, and the ability to have friendly competition via club leaderboards has helped create friendships that will last a lifetime!”  – Todd B., Pacific Beach Run Club A club’s sport is an important cultural influence on its community. It’s the common interest, the beacon that brings athletes together; it also is one of the primary ways that athletes explore clubs on Strava. Once athletes join, it’s how they will compete, wha

Hafa Adai from Guam!  Looking for some help.  We have a goal of hosting a virtual 100 mi run spanning 1 month.  The virtual 100 is the sum total of all miles/segments completed during the month. What is the best way to track this for all members with Strava?  Simply using the Clubs leaderboard?  Or, can an event be configured to span 30 days?  I only see that events are for a single day...   Appreciate your help in advance!

Hello hello.  Can somebody tell me what the symbol is for Pilates? I cannot fathom it…  Many thanks 

Hello and welcome to another edition of Tuesday Chat with Team Strava! This is a special time of year for those of us in North America. Winter has drawn to a close and signs of spring are everywhere.  And for hockey fans like me, it’s time for the NHL Playoffs.   For those not familiar, NHL stands for National Hockey League and it isn’t strictly “national” in nature; in fact it encompasses teams from 2 countries - U.S.A. and Canada, and features players from many other countries.  The teams compete with each other during the regular season to determine who qualifies for the playoffs, which usually begin around mid April. Currently held by the Colorado Avalanche, The Stanley Cup is the championship trophy awarded annually

Does anyone know how to get rid of this 'Getting Started' section at the top of the app..? I have completed 3 or the 4 steps (and don't want to subscribe to Strava). Any help please?
