I noticed a few days ago that someone has changed the format of the KOM lists in user profiles to show, I think, the number of users to have completed the Segment.  This would be a good improvement but when I look today the additional column is no longer there.  I thought there might be some explanation in the forum but I couldn't see anything (I try to sort posts by newest first but it doesn't seem to work so I'm not sure if I missed something).There is a new tab to now also apparently show Segments with Top 10 placings, which also seems a good idea, however, it currently shows I have more KOMs than Top 10s which makes no sense to me (surely every KOM is also a Top 10 or am I missing something ?).There also seems to have been a change to date formats which now show as ambiguous m/dd/yy - this may be fine for people using "American" format but I personally find it confusing (I have to think whether 3/04/23 might be 3 April or 4 March).  Can we please go

Last day, I decided, that I could try Workout app on Apple Watch instead of Strava. The main reason was, that Strava app doesn't record Cadence and there is no option, to setup intervals (and warmup, cooldown etc.). So far for this purpose, I was using Intervals Pro app from time to time. But the cadence reading was strangely off when exported to StravaSo I setup simple workout with 6 minutes warmup, one Work segment 5 miles long and 6 minutes cooldown.In activity App there is everything correct. Three intervals showing right data. Cadence. Even power (latest watchOS and iOS version).But after importing to Strava (using iOS Strava app import function), data are not correct.power is missingcadence is missingactivity has 57! laps with no clue, on which they are basedI googled the problem with laps, and there were some suggestions, that this is the problem with pace range notifications, which I have s

I have new strava profile.  Why in search conntact not showing my prifile?

I love the auto pause function so that Strava pauses when you stop running to have a sip of water or tie your shoes. The only unfortunate thing is that it doesn’t give the ‘real’ picture of a run and makes competition and comparison more unrealistic. As it is now, you can run as fast as you can for 2 miles and then sit to eat lunch for 30 minutes before running again as fast as you can for 2 miles. Strava will then, with auto pause, show that you have been running very fast for 4 miles which is not exactly true. A way to make use of the function in a good way would be to be able to show on an activity if and perhaps how many times the activity has been paused. This would make Strava better by eliminating unrealistic ideals in a world where everyone compares oneself to every other.

Hi,  My daughters name does not appear on the leaderboard for a certain Segment. Is it because of her age? She can see on her run analysis that she has clocked a time on the segment but her name does not appear on the overall list. Regards Ivan

It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year again. Yes, I’m talking about March Madness! If you’re not familiar with the term March Madness is a time when Men’s & Women’s Collegiate Basketball Teams across the United States compete in a 64-Team Tournament. The Stories & Emotions create the madness through this tournament. You'll see classic David vs Goliath battles where a lower division ranked school will take down a powerhouse school. Players go from unknown prospects to national stars in a matter of days! Tears of joy & defeat will flow from the players eyes as they play their hearts out in the most competitive tournament known. The emotions from the players, coaches, and fans will be all over the place! I can feel my juices going just as I type about it! If you’ve never experienced excitement from basketball thi

Received an email from Strava today telling me to sign in to my account as I’d not used it for some time or it would be closed. I’m in the app almost daily. It also said that it might be for a different account. I’m confused.

A recent change to user profile of the web version presents a column heading indicating "Total efforts", but the data being shown is the number of members who have traversed the segment.  As a member may cross the segment numerous times, these are two different values... number of people and number of attempts.  Can this be corrected?   Either the heading or the data in the field. Thanks...   

Hi. I would like to keep the analysis (altitude, speed, cadence, power and power fields) visible for an upcoming cycling activity and only turn the map (i.e. the location of the activity) invisible. Is this possible? I tried this on a test basis with a friend. After he turned off the full map on map visibility, the "show analysis" function was also gone.It would be great if there was a solution for this. Thanks!

The price increase in google play cannot be confirmed. As soon as the pop-up dialog "confirm identity" appears, nothing else happens. Tried with multiple browsers (chrome, firefox, edge, opera) and devices (Windows PC and Android).

why aren't the segments of MTB and eMTB not the same? it's easy, just create 2 different rankings for each segment, one for MTB and one for eMTB. me and my friends who switched to eMTB, we realized that there are very few segments marked for eMTB, less than 10% compared to those for MTB.

Does anyone know how to access photos during route creation? For example I am working on a new trail run route and I can see photo icons on the map. But there doesn't seem to be a way to click the photo to see it. If I click (or cmd click or ctrl click) it adds the photo location to my route.Seems like I am missing something simple - these photos would help me with navigating the planned route.

Hi those interested and knowing.I've only recently realised that "auto excluded efforts" is a thing since around March 2022. I thought it was bad gps data when some of my efforts went missing but retrospectively many were auto axed.Today I did a really hard effort following another bro going downhill and almost broke my PR for a short downhill segment, also a record I've been trying to beat every chance i get and consistently hitting the same times.There are others who went the same speed on the day but as far as i can see they don't have estimated watts whereas mine is estimated at 1200W max, i don't have a powermeter and obviously sitting behind a rider makes going faster easier so i question this metric and how strava calculations got there. I use a Garmin products, Edge 130, cadence and wheelspeed sensors.I'd like to know on what basis and which rules these excluded efforts are calculated?!The segment has an obviously b

This is a privacy concern (hence Apple prompts to allow / disallow access). But why is Strava trying to access my local network at all? There's no reason for it to be rooting around my WiFi.  Have Strava maybe accidentally used third party code which is maybe a bit malicious? 

  The end of the year is often a time to reflect on our work, achievements, and accomplishments.

If I want to record an cycling activity on my iPhone I tap on the 'record' symbol. Since the last update the default activity is set to 'running'. Then I have to manually change it to 'cycling'. This is irritating me and I wonder if there is a setting where I can change the default to 'cycling'?Thanks!

I've been running into this very problem and now have 22 unsynced activities that never seem to sync. I tried clicking on the unsynced activities banner to open that export page pictured above, but it just flashes like it's trying to open a menu and then closes it directly again; so I can't get to the export. I've tried restarting my phone, but that didn't change anything. Interestingly it seems to sync "runs" just fine, but "rides" on the bicycle appear to be the ones that it won't sync. I'm on version 297.8 (1229074) which appears to be the latest version and I'm on Android 11 on Pixel 2. Is there a fix in the works for this? I'm not sure if I should cut my losses and try reinstalling the Strava app (losing those 22 activities) or if there's any hope this will be resolved at some point so they can sync? Is there anything else to try? Thanks for the help!

I recently purchased an Apple Watch (yay for me). Unfortunately, it seems to have “broken” things.  Prior to the Watch, all workouts recorded in Strava, be they native Strava recordings of runs, or cycling workouts (indoor and outdoor) reported from TrainerRoad or Wahoo were all synched back to the Health app in Apple.  Since I purchased and set up the Apple Watch, the Apple Health app is not receiving ANY workouts from Strava, even those recorded in the Strava App for the Watch. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling Strava on the phone, rebooting, and all of the steps here (https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216917527-Health-App-and-Strava).  I’ve a ticket open with the help desk, but have not heard back yet. Closely related, would love the Action Button on my Ultra to be able to launch Strava.

On my Garmin Forerunner 255 I have renamed my HIIT activities as CrossFit but when automatically imported into Strava they are listed incorrectly as a Workout rather than CrossFit.  I would like a feature to be able to say I wish these imported correctly to Strava as type CrossFit rather than workout.

I am wondering if KOM segments are or can be part of the bulk export? I recently did a bulk export and I see a CSV file called "local_legend_segments.csv", but no KOM equivalent. Perhaps I am missing it. Thank you for any insight. 

Although not everyone in the world writes dates in the MM-DD-YYYY format, March 14 or 3/14 gives everyone the opportunity to celebrate Pi Day and most importantly Pie. We love Pi Day at Strava, celebrating every year with our own home made pies shared with our team.  When participating in any type of activity I am often extra motivated by knowing what snacks I have packed in my bag or what places I can stop off along the way to buy and enjoy good food. Refueling with delicious foods can be the difference between a memorable activity vs a miserable one for me if I reach that hangry moment.  There can be no better thing on a walk or a bike ride than stopping off along the route to enjoy some form of pie. Or coming home after a l

Hello,I wanted to ask about your experience with the heart rate zone settings. I have a Strava Relative Effort data field uploaded to my Garmin watch so I know the running value as I run. In my watch, I have the zone set in the strava data field, just like in garmin. Directly in Strava, if I leave the zones Based on max heart, the values after the activity plus minus match. If I set Custom herat rate zones in Strava, the values are almost half as low after the activity (in my watch, the relative effort shows, for example, 79, and after uploading the activity to the diet, I have a relative effort of only 45, for example).Thank you

In Strava terms, what constitutes a "Workout?" This is listed as one of the acceptable activity types for this month's "Indoor Workout Challenge," and just wondering what counts. Evidently an indoor ride does not 😕😕
