Hello. I am going to start training soon for my first half marathon. I aim to run for 4 mins and walk for a minute. Does anyone know of any ladies watches in either the UK or Ireland who can repeatedly vibrate every 4 mins and every minute throughout the race? Thanks 😄 

Ive noticed recently that on my list of activities on the Android app and the site on PC that my ski and snowboard elevation data has either disappeared completely or been wildly inaccurate if the data was recorded with a garmin watch, however any of the data recorded with the app on my phone hasn't been affected.Strangely enough once I click into the activity on the app the correct elevation is still present (see attached image). Has anyone experienced this/is there a known fix?Watches used were a garmin vivoactive 4 and garmin instinct 2x 

Da qualche giorno dal mio desktop la schermata della mappa delle mie attivita risulta ingrandita zoomata e bloccata, non c’è modo di rimpicciolirla, qualcuno ha lo stesso problema? Si può in qualche modo risolvere?

Is there a way to remove the annoying animations with silly motivational messages that appear when saving an activity? These have recently appeared on the Android app.

Hi everyone. My wife is a big time runner - Boston Qualified this year! She’s a stud. I’m not much of a runner at all but thought I could show her some love this Valentine’s by running a Stava course that says “I (heart shape) Alyssa” - hopefully she doesn’t see this post. Anyone have any suggestions how to create that in the North Orange County, CA area? I’m not great with developing the map. I’m trying to keep it in the 10K range so I don’t completely kill myself. I appreciate the help anyone can provide. Thank you.

Hi all  I ran a 10k this morning but I had to stop due to heavy wind and rain burst, Strava took my elapsed time instead of moving time so I missed out on pr. Can that be changed ? 

Hi everyone, I’m looking for clarification about segment leaderboard behavior. On January 31, 2026, I completed a cycling segment.The effort is correctly recorded:- visible in “My Results”- correct time, speed, power and HR- activity privacy is set to Public- no pauses or GPS issues However, my effort does NOT appear in the “Today” leaderboard,while other athletes from the same day do appear. This happened during a group activity, but:- in the past, my segment efforts often appeared in leaderboards even during group rides- recently, this seems to happen more frequently- the effort is recorded but silently excluded, with no explanation I’ve seen several discussions about improving leaderboard accuracy and filtering group efforts.Has there been a recent change in how group rides are handled for segment leaderboards? Is there any offi

my partner was creating a strava account with her google account and we went through all the regular steps to create it. we set privacy controls and set up the profile and followed our friends and connected with Garmin. after a few minutes, we could not log back into the strava account both through the app or the website and we can’t see the profile anymore. how can this account be reactivated?

I wish I could track both my running shoes and my custom insoles as separate gear for mileage. I may switch my insoles to other running shoes, so the mileage will never equate to a single show gear milage. The current menu item is radio buttons so you can only select a single gear on a run. 

New member here, My name is Sanjay. I love the subscription features.I have noticed some features like heart rate zones breakdown over months and years of training is not available on desktop log in but available on cell phone app. Is that true? Also noticed, Strava not calculating my total time correctly compared to Coros dashboard. Not sure how to fix it.

The amount of calories burned when I choose squash is vastly different from when I choose workout. For the same level of activity, if I choose “workout”, I burn 800 calories but if I choose “squash”, I burn 500 calories. I’ve uploaded my heart rate data to other platforms and figured that the “workout” mode is more accurate. Can you please fix this for “squash”?

It seems that activities tagged with "Commute" are not taken into account in the elevation and distance statistics? Do yo confirm? It sounds like a bug to me?

Halo Tim Dukungan Strava, Saya ingin meminta pengembalian dana atas biaya yang dipotong dari saldo GoPay saya tanpa sepengetahuan saya. Pada [tanggal], akun GoPay saya ditagih untuk langganan Strava, tetapi saya tidak mengotorisasi atau menyadari pembayaran ini.

When I go to the the map and i want to choose backcountry ski is not in the list, any ski related sport is not on the list.

Hi guys,Hope you’re well. Love Strava, so thanks for the work you do.There’s a really annoying bug which I’ve been aware of for months now:On the profile (when using the web app), in the weekly mileage section with the header “Activities for 9 Jun 2025 - 15 Jun 2025,” where it shows the weekly mileage in a sort of bar chart, the bar chart doesn’t update if you run on Sunday. It only updates on the Monday. Annoys me (and I’m sure others), because it’s nice to end a week of training and be able to see that you’ve hit your weekly mileage target.Thanks,Chris

The graph of my walking pace is pretty much useless. How can the pace be so erratic? That certainly not how I’m walking  

Would it be possible to add Volleyball as a sport?

recently the maps changed from showing street names, to some streets just showing numbers. I have tried zooming in and the names still won’t show. Is there any way to go back to the old maps that show the names?  

Saya ingin mengajukan permintaan pengembalian dana atas transaksi langganan Strava sebesar Rp.549.000 yang terpotong dari akun saya. Pembelian ini terjadi secara tidak disengaja dan tanpa persetujuan saya. Selain itu, dana yang terpotong merupakan uang tabungan anak saya, sehingga sangat penting bagi saya untuk dapat dikembalikan. Saya mohon kebijaksanaan dari pihak Strava untuk membantu memproses refund atas transaksi ini. Terima kasih atas perhatian dan bantuan Anda. 

Here’s the situation:Smart trainer connected to MyWhoosh for power/cadence/control. Garmin chest strap connected to MyWhoosh for HR. Everything works and syncs correctly with Strava after uploading ride. The problem is that I only see partial HR data in the Health app (two data points and an average HR that is close but not the same as Strava). This problem then gets replicated as partial HR data in the Fitness app and any app that pulls from Health (e.g. Bevel). All permissions are set correctly in Health and Strava. Also, when I do an outdoor run with Apple Watch using the Strava app there’s no issue. 

Just want to whine one more time before this forum changes focus.When I see a pretty obvious scam account post, like the saccharine "cycling is my freedom" or the infamous "son died of cancer, who wants his PS5", I report them as spam, scam, or impersonation. Sometimes Strava even does something about it. But when they respond to the support request, there is no sign of what the support request is referring to. They do allow you so refute their automatic decision with more details, screenshots, etc but without knowing what the report was about, it's kind of moot by design. Maybe Strava can "use technology"  to improve their support request handling and crack down o

I signed up for Strava thinking I was going to have access to training plans but now I see that I need to pay even more to access training plans. So, what perks are left worth the money for just the Strava subscription? Can’t be the chat. There are countless running community pages on Facebook and Reddit that are free. Can’t be the routes. RunGo has countless routes on their free version. So what’s good anymore about this app?
