I am unsuccessfully trying to change the email associated with my Strava account from A to B. I use Google Sign-In to access Strava. When trying to change my email address it asks me for a password, but I have never created a password. I tried to use the password Recovery option many times but never received an email.When going to the account settings page I see the option for changing password but it dissappears the moment the page loads.I emailed Stava support about the issue but I'm not getting my hopes up. I see a lot of people complaing about their unresponsiveness.

Salve, voglio portare la mia utenza a FAMIGLIA con altri 3 membri. Fatta liscrizione mi han dato un link di invito ma strava mi dice che devo aspettare 30 giorni per far scadere il mio abbonamento {di che?} visto che non ho sottoscritto nessun abbonamento? Ho cercado di cancellarmi per poi ri registrarmi ma mi chiede 90 giorni… possibile che non ci sia un modo per usare subito labbonamento family? chi devo contattare per poter risolvere il problema?

Hey fellow Strava users! I'm reaching out because I was recently charged for a subscription I didn't authorize. I've contacted Strava support and GCash, but I'm still waiting for a resolution. I'm hoping to get a refund ASAP. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any advice on how to get a refund quickly would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!

I am using free Strava on Iphone.As of this week, there is live speed instead of average speed when cycling.  This is useless. Can it be changed back to average speed?

Hi, is it possible to use manual mode when plotting a route in the iPhone app like you can using the website?  

I see a bunch of posts regarding the power differences between Garmin (coming from a Power Meter) and Strava.  As the nerd in the group i am usually call on to help other with their tech.  On my setup, what comes out on the Garmin exactly matches what is displayed on Strava.  For the rest of our group, the difference is large, Strava is always 30 watts or more less.  So I don’t really buy this theory about handling the zero’s becuase we all ride together.  Does anyboy have any real reason why for my setup everything matches, and for others it doesn’t?  The only thing i could think of would be power meter drop outs?  But with four or five guys in the group having the same problem other than me, this doesn’t make sense.Any thoughts? 

I use a Garmin Forerunner 165 to record and sync activities with Strava (Android). Recently, when I do outoor rowing (crew) activities, it syncs with stats like these:In rowing, these stats are super irrelevant and unhelpful, with workouts measured in meters and splits (/500m) like below:Has anyone faced the same issue? Is there a way to manually highlight / select / force certain statistics to show via Garmin or via Strava? Having my row data in Strava went from super useful to super irrelevant overnight with no fix. Thanks.

It appears that there’s been a recent change which applies auto-pause to kayaking, but I suspect it uses cycling parameters, which are not appropriate for kayaks (which move more slowly than bikes). I record my kayaking outings on my iPhone. In my most recent kayak outings, Strava auto-pauses almost immediately and then never unpauses. I’ve used Strava for years and this never happened until now.My settings: I have auto pause enabled for cycling, but turned off for running. There doesn’t seem to be a way to control auto-pause for other sports. 

I am trying to create a route on desktop (windows 64bit, Chrome) and the map is just blank and I cannot interact. Bug? 

I was running a segment До Синия вир with the goal of a crown and in the end the segment is not visible in the activity. I pushed myself and gave it my all. We were running together with my husband Пейо Христов, who was pacing me, and we finished with almost the same time, he finished seconds ahead of me. On his activity the segment До Синия вир is visible, but on mine it is not. The segment Синия вир последна част and the segment Синия вир спускане 1 част are part of the segment До Синия вир. There is no way they are included in the activity, but the segment До Синия вир is not included. This disappoints me a lot, because I know how much I gave of myself.... I kindly ask you to look at my application and see that I went exactly along the segment and there is no reason why it should not be visible in my activity. Thank you!This is the link of this segment and my activityhttps://www.strava.com/activities/15288620029/segments/17536763/potential-segment-matches

I love to stay active and enjoy a range of outdoor activities like golf, walking, running, and hiking. However, I've noticed that most of the fitness platforms are more focused on running when it comes to tracking my progress. For example, even though I've covered almost 300km of hiking, the platform only displays my 80km of runs. I'm wondering if there's a way to get a more accurate representation of my overall fitness activities on these platforms. Do you have any suggestions or insights on how to manage this?

I'm new to this site so apologies in advance if I'm unfamiliar with itI have regular bike and e-bikes. I want both to count towards my annual goals (time and distance). I've been Googling for whether e-bike rides count, most replies suggest they do count, but clear from my total they don't (I can simply change an activity from Ride to E-Bike ride and see the totals change for YTD).How do I get it to count everything short of calling everything a Ride (which messes up lots of other things)?

I ride MTB, E-MTB, road and trainer and the e-bike rides don't get included in my goals.Just had a look at goal setting area and all Strava need to do is include is E-Bike and E-Mountain Bike Ride in All Ride and problem solved.

Hi - Is there a way to view previous year's stats to compare with current? So for example, I might want to compare my rides over the last few years to see how many miles or climbing etc, that I've done in each year to monitor how I'm doing this year. All I can see is the current year and all time details.

Hello,can you help me with my problem please? We have a club of 1 100 members and I can see only members who I follow. Where is the problem please? I’ve read that that I can see all the members up to 5 000 people in the club.  

I think everyone would agree an hour of riding on the trainer can be exercise just as much as an hour on the road, but it is omitted from the hours for the week displayed on the profile web page.This is a bug.

This sunday I ran a 100K with my friend. He has a garmin and when he uploads his files he taggs me and I accept, then strava takes over and I also get the activity, however this activity can not be accepted for some reason. We tried declining and inviting again but it does not work also not on my mobile phone.

Bonjour,Je viens d'emménager aux USA depuis l'Europe. Auparavant mes temps dans les segments apparaissaient dans toutes les rubriques mais depuis mon arrivée, j'apparais dans toutes les rubriques sauf la rubrique "aujourd'hui".Pouvez-vous vous m'indiquer comment résoudre la chose Merci

Some of my activities get incorrectly flagged.There is a group bike ride I regularly take part in, and typically, my activity will be flagged. It’s a fastish group ride, but not insanely, just amateur level. And I’m far from the fastest one. I never get any KOM, and actually never get in the top 10 of any segment either. But every time, strava declares that the activity was actually done on an electric bike, and my PRs and segments are invalidated. Other members of this ride also get their rides flagged. When I look at my friends, I’d say about a third of them get the ride flagged initially. Not necessarily the faster riders. Who gets flagged and who doesn’t seem pretty arbitrary. Most people are able to get it validated after all. I was also able to get it revalidated the first time, by confirming that the ride was ride. But now, I’m not able to get it revalidated. It’s pretty frustrating: trying to beat my PR, and improving my positi

I am unable to share my activity correctly to external apps. My recorded run is fine on Strava but then it goes a bit wonky. As you can see my pace is incredible. I'm far from a gold medalist 😲.  Any help.would be appreciated. Thank you in advance .

Подскажите пожалуйста как отменить подписку и вернуть денежные средства? Случайно купил подписку не на тот аккаунт.Translation: Please tell me how to cancel the subscription and return the money? I accidentally bought a subscription for the wrong account.

The activity overview page has no pace showing, only if you click into the activity to see all the data.Is it because I uploaded the merged file of Strava file and iWatch file (by goatees.com)? Does anyone know how to solve it? Thanks! 

I've made a shortcut with the Apple shortcut app to immediately start a new recording with the action button (Using the URL scheme "strava://record/new/start")Since about a week or two when I use this shortcut Strava crashes most of the time.Sometimes it does work (can't really tell why) but most of the time it doesn't.Please fix this.

Hello community. I hope all good. I’m strugling whith supportteam for months, since May 2025.At that time, Dev Team promoted a feature to have more data, or should I say, more visible data in the photos we publish in social media. Should be a good thing.But data is covering most of the picture. So, sometimes there is a nice landscape, ou the cyclists group and Strava Data, simply cover most of the photo.I suggested them go back the orinal format, Strava logo above and KM, Time and Altimetry below, so the image would be clear in the center. Maybe Strava could keep both formats, old and new, so the user may choose.See, I use data the check and improve my perfromance,

hi, i am doing a challenge in a few weeks of running 5km on the hour, every hour for 12 hours. How would i track this on an apple watch/ strava so that at the end of the challenge, the total 60km and the pace of the runs would show as one 60km run
