Hi everyone,I’m currently living in South Korea and I’ve been a happy Strava user for a while. I liked it so much that I decided to subscribe to Runna as well.Later, I found out there was a Strava + Runna bundle deal for $149.99, so I went ahead and tried to sign up for that. However, my first card didn’t have enough balance, so I updated the payment information with a second card and successfully completed the purchase for the Strava + Runna bundle.To sign up for Runna, I also started the free trial using the second card. I assumed that once I subscribed to the bundle and linked my accounts, everything would sync automatically and only the bundle charge would apply.But here’s what actually happened: Runna charged me separately for a full-year membership after the trial ended. I was also charged on the first card

Good afternoon, I cancelled my auto subscription for the student plan a few months ago. The regulations say that we have to request a refund within 7 days (I have put 2 tickets in the last week with no replies as it went through on the 19th and is now the 25th) , I need a refund for the amount on my card account, could you please refund it? I'm not sure why it went through as I had already cancelled, but not just that it charged me through at full price rather than student discount which is even weirder. Thank you  Add tags

Hi, Can anyone help please.  Whilst on holiday my phone died from a swim in the sea.  My husband logged out of his Connect and Strava and logged me in both on his phone.  I uploaded my activities.  Logged out.  Cleared cookies he logged himselfback in on both.  I got a new phone.  Got all the apps and started uploading on my phone.  Every activity my husband does automatically adds me on strava still whether im with him or not.  Its also adding my own which I want.  We've logged out of Connect and Strava apps and on the websites.  We've disconnected Bluetooth.  Last step was reset both watches to factory settings.  Its still doing it.  Strava said ask on here.  Connect have been great but can't help.  Please can anyone help.  

Has anyone ever had an uploaded ride invisible to “Everyone” when your privacy settings allow for everyone to have access to what you upload? I uploaded a ride yesterday that was visible only to me, but just the day before I’d uploaded a different ride that is visible to everyone. 

My unit of measures or set to metric but for nautical activities Strava displays nautical miles instead of kilometres although in Garmin connect it displays kilometres.  Is there a way to change this?  

I have two Strava accounts - the one I used all the time was associated with an email I no longer have access to. I am trying to merge the accounts and change the email address on the Strava I use all the time. I have an open ticket with support but have not received any response for now to handle this situation as I cannot just change my email since I do not have access to it and i have forgotten my strava password - I am just always logged in on my phone

Bonjour. Pour mes sorties VTT j’ai une montre Garmin VENU 3 et un Garmin EDGE 530. L’année dernière j ai fait une sortie en montagne avec des pentes à environ 20% (indiqué sur le EDGE 530). Lors de la restitution sur STRAVA je ne vois pas d’affiché les pourcentages. J’ai posé cette question sur le site de STRAVA mais il n’y a pas eu de réponse seulement cela m’a dit de faire des recherches et de voir sur la communauté ! Pourriez vous me dire si c’est possible et si oui comment faire ?D’avance merci. 

After riding today, I looked at my activity feed on my laptop. Seemed OK, I gave some kudos, made a few comments. Then I realized, when I reloaded: any activity I had given kudos or commented seems to have vanished from my feed (including my own activities!) I tried switching back and forth several times between “Latest Activities” and “Personalized,” which seems to make no difference. Nor does logging out, clearing caches, and reloading. Please; can Activity Feed just show recent activities by me and those I follow (with as few silly ads as possible, but I know you need to place them), and not try to get clever. Don’t removed items from feed after I’ve looked at them. Don’t reorder or skip according to what YOU think I want to see. Just show the feed! Thank you.

I can no longer connect My sigma software (sigma data center)  with strava on one of my computers.The “log in” button does not work (nor do any of the other buttons for that matter)On my other computer I’m still connected, and syncing still works.Contacted Sigma, who say they no longer give support for their software….I’ve tested it with a 3rd PC, that never had the software installed before, and  the same problem occurs.Is there any workaround / fix for this ?  

Hallo zusammen,ich habe ein Problem mit meiner Garmin Fenix 6X Pro in Verbindung mit Strava, das ich nicht lösen kann:Ich bin vor ein paar Tagen 9,7 km gejoggt. In Garmin Connect wird alles korrekt angezeigt (Distanz, Zeit, Pace usw.).Sobald die Aktivität aber nach Strava synchronisiert wird, zeigt Strava nur 3,4 km an – also deutlich zu wenig. Die Zeit passt aber komischerweise.Was ich schon probiert habe: Automatische Synchronisation zu Strava deaktiviert und die FIT-Datei manuell aus Garmin Connect exportiert → Fehler bleibt! Export als GPX und TCX getestet → die Distanz ist auch hier nicht korrekt. Firmware der Uhr ist auf dem neuesten Stand, Garmin Connect und Strava App ebenfalls. Kein zweites Gerät oder Drittanbiet

Hi from Sweden 😀🇸🇪☀️ I often run structured workouts with intervals (e.g. 6×1000m) created in Garmin, and sync them to Strava. However, the displayed average pace always includes warm-up, rest, and cool-down, which makes it misleading if I want to analyze or share the workout’s true effort. Feature request: Please add an option to calculate and show average pace for selected laps – or even better, average pace for structured intervals, separated from total workout average. This would really improve Strava’s usefulness for interval training! Thanks! claes

For the last couple of weeks whenever I track a workout using the strava app on my apple watch (Series 5) the timing has been well off. For example I did a 55 minute workout this morning that Strava recorded as a 10 hour workout. I Started the work out session on strava on my watch at 5.30am and finished at 6.26am. Strava has it recorded as starting at 8.24pm the night before and finishing at 6.26am. It’s done it repeatedly for a few weeks. Interestingly I’ve done a number of hikes, walks and mountain bike rides during the same period, all recorded on strava using the specific options an the timing has been fine. And as a test I used the apple workout app to record a workout session earlier in the week and it timed it just fine. Anyone got any ideas on why the workout sessions recorded on strava might be timing weirdly? I’ve restarted both my watch and my phone a few times and it hasn’t changed anything.

Hi still not able to upload a triathlon I competed in on 2nd June .. every thing since then Is fine .. swims runs and rides .. as previously stated I have tried all the common fixes to no avail .. any thoughts ideas please ?? Obviously it's not a disaster but like to keep tabs on myself regards Stu . 

Most of the time i record my traveling  with strava but just today i thought  lets see what did i do and i saw it said that i did 187 kmh how can even it be possible  to make 187kmh with bicycle  and i even have a normal  bicycle  not the expensive  one I thought  Strava was a good app but it seem to have happened  many times in my recordings 

My treadmill runs do not reliably create the transparent overlay share image. It is always hit or miss. I am using a Garmin Epix G2Pixel Pro 9 XLI have tried attaching photos, and changing pretty much every option of the saved workout but it doesnt create the transparent image. 

Hello,I would like to bring to your attention that Strava’s new navigation system has become very frustrating to use.Since the latest update, several features that made your tool practical and reliable have disappeared:A large stopwatch now takes up the center of the screen, which is very distracting for navigation.The orange line of my route, which used to remain visible even when the screen turned off, now disappears.Access to the Global Heatmap, which is still enabled in my settings, seems to be gone.When my screen goes into sleep mode and I turn it back on, I lose my route and the overall experience is no longer smooth.I am a Strava subscriber so I can plan and follow my routes, both during my travels and on local rides. Previously, your navigation system was a reliable and reassuring tool I could truly count on. Today, the experience has become difficult and frankly disappointing.I do not know if these changes were intenti

I've been requesting a refund for about 7 days now and no developer responded to my ticket?, and the bad part is when i check my ticket in strava it's says "Status: Solved" howw? i didn't even get an refund? and strava support didn't explain how my ticket status is solved?. 

Hi all, here's my situation:I'm going on a week long hiking trip in Swedish Lapland. During the week, I will have very limited and unreliable internet access, meaning I probably won’t be able to synch my activities. Also, when not hiking I'll be turning off my phone to save its battery. This probably comes down to recording my hike every day, not being able to upload because of no internet, then turning off the phone. The process repeats for six days. Will Strava be able to save the six activities offline, locally on my phone, even if I turn it off repeatedly, and then synch all activities once I do have proper internet at the end of the week?

I just don't like the new interface at all. There is too much on the screen and when I try to move the map or zoom in while on a ride, I end up hitting things and screwing it all up I wish it would just be the map and then switch the page to speed and heart rate info. Why have it on both screens? I actually swore out loud on a ride and it's supposed to just be fun..ha.

Recording defaults the map to track your direction, except due to natural GPS variations it is gimbling all over the place. Yes I can press the compass, but it refuses to stay on North. Every pause, by me or autopause dismisses my North preference and swings the map around again. Bad now, but in winter with gloves on this would be supremely annoying.Then we have Live Segment tracking. The dismiss button is gone. So if I am approaching two start points close together I can't dismiss segment A to show segment B. And then when tracking starts the head to head vs PB/KQOM does not pop, I have to press the screen again after the segment starts, very annoying if I am sprinting for a short segment. And the segment name is in black in red, making it hard to read.The screen should not be ‘needy,’ I should not have to be pressing it so much to keep it in the orientation I want. Please revert or return these features. Des

 Same issue as the one I’ve linked here, but that post is 2/3 years old.

I rode a few days ago with Strava on my iPhone,my grandson also rode with me using my Garmin.It was a mtb ride,my ride was much shorter than his but when we met up and ended our rides,his got flagged!Asking if it was an eride.Hes 14,had a good ride but not record breaking. When it got uploaded from Garmin to Strava I posted that it was not mine.How do I get it un flagged for him?

I made a mistake trying to use my Wellhub gifted premium membership. I ended up applying it to one email which also happens to be an old account, but not the one I am currently using. I want to transfer the premium to my current active account instead but the code expires and a new one only issues every 6 months.  

I did several climb segments on dead-end asphalt roads yesterday on a 7kg-ish road bike and noted that my times were beaten by riders who had continued past the end of the metalled road and on to mountain trails. These folk were obviously not on road bikes because of the terrain they encountered later in their rides and I can’t believe many people would be able to ride an unassisted MTB up a climb as fast as a lightweight road bike. What else did these segment times have in common? They had no HR or power data. I’m not necessarily in favour of disallowing rides without power data as many can’t warrant the cost of buying a power meter but surely HR data should be a minimum requirement of a segment time? I’m 63-years old and if I get a top ten time on a hilly segment I’m pretty happy with myself as it normally means an all-out effort. It can be pretty demoralising to discover that many of the times above mine have been gained with motor assistance.
