I use Strava mostly for riding.  Has anyone noticed a dramatic drop in their fitness score recently?  I was out of town for 4 days and my score went from 81 down to 37 and I even logged a run while I was out of town.  I don’t understand how this could be.  I look at it after every ride so this is strange.  I have asked others to check their scores and they don’t see any big drop.  I looked for updates but there is no announcement of one related to fitness score changes.  

It’s interesting to see the Best Efforts in an athlete’s profile, however, in some cases the data is corrupted by inclusion of flagged Activities.  For example, here’s some data for an athlete in my local area which shows some rather impressive Best Efforts, such as cycling for 5 miles at 126 mph (!!)… If I click on the links to see the related Activity it shows they have all been flagged (hardly surprising).  Surely Activities that have been flagged in this way should not continue to be included in an athlete’s Best Efforts ?

Good evening,Is it possible to give directions in maps, like turn left in 200 meters? Today i rode a route which contained a few roads which i had to ride more than once. Then it is not possible to see if you have to turn left or right at the end of the road or at a t split when both are part of the route.Thanks, René Kleverwal Netherlands

I have had a Samsung Watch 7 for a few weeks now. With my previous watch (Samsung S2), I could create laps with the watch. How can I create laps with the Samsung Watch 7?

Saya ingin meminta pengembalian dana sebesar Rp609.000 untuk langganan saya yang dibatalkan. Saya sebenarnya tidak berencana untuk melanjutkan langganan setelah masa uji coba gratis berakhir karena saya berlangganan hanya untuk mencoba aplikasi sambil jogging. Saya lupa membatalkan langganan sebelum masa uji coba gratis berakhir. Uang yang digunakan seharusnya untuk kebutuhan sehari-hari dan makan, jadi saya mohon maaf jika membuat Anda merasa tidak nyaman; saya harap Anda dapat memenuhi permintaan pengembalian dana saya. Terima kasih. 

Hi all, can someone explain how to get rid of the annoying medals on my route maps after a run (the ones that say ‘second best time on Idiot Ave’ etc)Thanks!Mark

Bonjour à toutes et tous lors de mes sorties en vélo je précise systématiquement l'utilisation dans la rubrique matériel de mon vélo gravel.pour autant le décompte kilométrique est toujours le même et ne varie pas... Une idée pour m'aider ? merci à vous  Nicolas 

You can’t filter by Pickleball in the Training Log. Pickleball also has some odd behaviour as activities. When you view the activity by itself, the symbol is for “Workout”. When you view the activity in the feed, it’s correctly “Pickleball”.   

New user here. I see the section at the bottom of the screenshots which implies trail reports, but it looks like it’s for reporting a violation of some kind when I click through. Is this actually a section where people’s reports of violations show up or is it intended to be trail reports like Trailforks? A user on Reddit has some insight but is this a relic of a previous feature or something that will be coming?  

I frequently see KOM or fastest times for segments for running at speeds at which it is impossible to run, (above 25km/hr or whatever). Can't there be an algorithm applied to the segments placings which deletes these impossible times? You can't run 58km/hour. Not too dificult to filter out these times when a certain sport is chosen.

I just signed up for a Strava annual membership. I authorized the payment with my credit card. I don't see anything in my app or online Strava account yet. Will this be processed immediately?

I am loving the Apple Fitness+ integration! One problem: On a few of my recent Apple Fitness+ workouts, the symbol for the activity is incorrect in some screens. I have attached screenshots to show that they correctly display as Yoga in some screens, and others show the general activity.  

When recording an activity on my Google Pixel Watch 3 like a walk, my activities sync just fine.  If I record a “Mountain Bike Ride”, then it will not sync.  I have to manually download and upload the file.  Is there a reason that an MTB Ride won’t sync, but a “Bike Ride” or a “Walk” will?  My understanding was that if it has GPS data with it then it should sync.

I play tennis, and I used to see these activities on Strava. However, for the last two weeks, tennis has stopped appearing; I can still see my other types of activities.

I don't understand why when the data is coming from SAMSUNG HEALTH (main health app that I use) the big chunk of data is missing. I attached the photo from my samsung health because the distance is far off from the Samsung Health.  I also tried editing it on website but I cannot find the "CORRECT DISTANCE". 🙄😒

My wife is training for a marathon and has a Galaxy Watch 7 connected to Samsung Health. Samsung health has Strava added as a service. She starts the run activity from her watch. Most of the activity syncs but not all. It’s pretty random how much is not the same as Samsung Health. We’ve tried resync but still getting these strange differences. Any ideas?

Hi all,I’ve found myself wishing for the ability to filter my cycling power data for indoor vs. outdoor rides. This would enable users to have a clearer sense of training progress. For example, power records can be more difficult to hit outside to due to various factors (wind, traffic, hilly terrain, etc.) versus on the indoor trainer in ERG mode with set power targets. Isolating outdoor and indoor power would be interesting and helpful.Cheers!

Hello,I’ve recently been experiencing an issue: when I start an activity using a route I created, the route no longer appears on the map. I have no way to view the planned path during my ride/run.Could you please help me resolve this? Thank you in advance

I use Strava on my Android phone to keep track of the distance for a ride on my adult trike.  How can I set the display to continuously display the mileage for that ride.  Right now, it displays the route.  I know the route I am on, I just want to know my distance as I am riding.  I am not concerned with time, speed, elevation, etc., just the current distance while on that particular ride.  Thank you.

Whenever I try to create or edit a route, it cuts the trails off and creates straight lines. What’s odd is that in the editing screen, it’s great and I have added many points to ensure it’s taking the right trail. After I save it, it reverts back to the straight line issue. The Strava created routes before editing are totally fine. See screenshots for an example of a route in editing (fine) and after saving (lots of errors). Does anyone know why this is happening or how to correct it in route editing?

I have selected a segment and clicked the Share button in the upper right corner to get to the “Challenge Friends” page and sent several segments to several friends, and people have done that to me. Where are these messages or notifications going? I do not see anything on the Challenges page and did not get any notifications.

Everytime I am going out running Strava is completely over estimating how far a distance I am running and therefore giving me a completely faster pace than I am actually going. Apple Watch is correct distance but Strava is adding on over a mile on runs? I believe it could be an GPS issue but I have tried everything to correct it. It’s happening on all different routes. 

I tried to share an activity on FB but the thumbnail render is not my preferred photo--it’s a random older woman with her tongue sticking out. It is not my photo either. I tried to reboot computer and also refresh page to see if it would show up but it does not work.
