Today's message from Strava was "You brought the watts. That effort packed serious power. Open your stats to see how strong you output really was"Really? Pretty sure you know I'm not 15yo.

I have a challenge I setup for some friends and for some reason I can't select Trail Run as a sport.. . Is this a bug?  

Has anyone experienced issues with activities not counting toward Group Leaderboards when the route includes a tunnel?In our case, there is a specific tunnel under Madrid–Barajas Airport that consistently causes problems. Whenever a ride crosses this tunnel, the activity seems to be automatically excluded from the group leaderboard, as if it were flagged or invalidated in some way.The activity itself uploads correctly and appears normal (distance, time, elevation, etc.), but it does not contribute to the group leaderboard results. This happens repeatedly and only on routes that pass through this tunnel. Is this expected behavior due to GPS signal loss, data smoothing, or some kind of automated validation/anti-cheating logic?Is there any way to prevent this from happening, or to correct it after the activity is uploaded?Any insight from Strava staff or the community would be appreciated.

hi. previously, my strava account link with Zepp account and watch. Now, im trying to link my new coros watch with strava account, following the step provided by coros via link. But not working. how to sync my new coros watch? 

I’ve paid for my premium but it’s not showing on my account or allowing me to use premium features like the map to make routes. Any help?

Hace un mes que la app me está dando el coñazo de renovar la suscripción, tapando y molestando a la hora de ver los datos, nada más por eso no voy a renovar, pesados!!!

Isn't this widget suppose to be 2x3 not 1x3?

Apple has a feature where friends can track each other’s activities.  When I finish a walk or run, my friends get a watch notification that I finished and they can give a snarky response and we have fun with it.  Today I started a treadmill run from the strava app on my watch.  it tracked steps and millage and my rings were closed.  when I was done, I tapped “finish” and it finished.  no notification of any type was sent to my friends.  When I use the Pacer app to start a treadmill run, it tracks everything and sends a “treadmill run” activity notification to my friends.  So is it a setting I am missing or does Strava not integrat with apple activities?  any help would be appreciated.  None of my friends have strava so they cannot get notices through that app.   Question, if they get the app and remain on the free plan will they get my notices through that?

Hello,I manage to merge two activities using third-party tools, but when I do, I lose my power data.Is there a way to merge activities whilst keeping the power data?

Hi, Untill last year Strava was great with showing mtb-trails pretty accurately. I renewed my subscribtion recently and found out that maps were updated and several trails were lost. Those trails were visible in (maps only section) October-November 2025 but now they are gone. Now I’m considering my next year’s subscribtion. 

Has anyone seen odd HR Zone data like this? I am uploading data from a Garmin Edge 540. I’ve been using Strava HR zone data for years and always copy/paste this data into a spreadsheet and I have never seen wierd data like this. 

i made a thingit's dumb. it's also fire. no i will not elaborate 🤣fizz.fityou finish a workout and an ai version of you starts doing tiktok dances. with your actual face. in a scene based on your geo, sport, time of day, weatherit’s easier to just see itconnect strava, tag #fizz on your next activity, and you get fizzed. easyfirst 1000 signups get a free 250 credits (be quick)use "fizzwithstrava" for 50% off your first yearlets get fizzy 🫧

I sometimes use Chrome browser and search my activities (running, cycling) with filters (Ex. sort by filter) to find a ride or run activity with a specific distance,  I click on an activity.  I look at that activity, then back arrow and it takes me to generic Activity Search page. I lost all my filters and need to reapply the filters, then page through all the sorted activities to get to the same spot. I have 1000s of activities so this takes awhile. If the back-arrow from the activity could drop me to the previous search page that i found the activity on -- that would be very helpful. make it much more usable.

Chinese: 跑步、健行的部分都沒有問題，但是戶外騎行，小米顯示的是7.92公里，Strava顯示的卻是78.7公里？平均速度也是差了十倍！English：Running and hiking are both fine, but for outdoor cycling there’s an issue: Xiaomi shows 7.92 km, while Strava shows 78.7 km. The average speed is also off by a factor of ten!  

Hi everyone,In my last two Zwift workouts, the screenshots haven’t been added to my Strava activities.Has anyone else experienced this?

I got a notification about a new heart rate view and was toured through it by a little pop up. For a 20 minute run all of the times were in hours. 

I got a notification about a new heart rate view and was toured through it by a little pop up. For a 20 minute run all of the times were in hours. 

I did a 1 hour run (activity link) on a treadmill (tracked via COROS watch), but am seeing 2000 hours of activity time on my Heart Rate and Pace Distribution screens on web and in the app. This is impacting my cumulative distributions also. How can I fix this? 

I moved from the iPhone 13 ProMax to the iPhone 17 ProMax in hopes that it was the old phone causing run tracking to be paused for no apparent reason, and while that issue was NOT solved, I’ve acquired yet another issue:Where my old phone showed 90 days of Apple activities I could choose to import, the new phone shows nothing; not even runs that happened since I got the new phone.How do I get Strava to see those Apple activities on the new phone that uses iOS26?  (as does the old phone)

I can’t find “Instant Workouts” on the Android App or website. Where are they lurking?  It says they’re supposed to show on the top of the home page feed.  I’m a subscriber.  App is up to date.  

I am interested in analysing my stops post ride. I would like to see where I rested on an activity (this affects your efficiency percentage on long rides such as Audaxes, i.e. ride time vs rest time) This can be where the stop was more than 1 minute no power or cadence registered speed below 3km per hour (in case of a wandering GPS) Ideally this would show in a table (similar to the existing Laps table) showing the rest start time (time of day and ride time) rest time the end time for each extended stop Even better if you could show these as locations on the activity map Many thanks for reading and hopefully upvoting this idea.

Hi,I’m experiencing the likewise issue as below link and would appreciate guidance. A private road on my property is still routable on Strava, even though it is correctly tagged as access=private in OpenStreetMap. Despite multiple support tickets, the issue has been repeatedly closed without comment, and routing continues to direct users through my property. This has resulted in repeated trespassing. My question to the community (or Strava moderators) is:Is there any way to request a routing geofence or routing block for private property when OSM is already correct, but Strava routing still allows it?Any advice from others who have dealt with similar situations would be appreciated. 

Strava's base map is sourced from Mapbox, which uses OpenStreetMap data. However, Strava is displaying trails tagged as "no access" or "impassable" on OpenStreetMap, creating serious safety and liability concerns.Safety Issues: When users rely on Strava's maps for route planning, they may be directed onto trails that are impassable or legally restricted. This could result in injuries, emergency situations that strain local first responders, or fines for trespassing—particularly for those unfamiliar with the terrain.Environmental and Legal Accountability: By displaying trails marked as no access, Strava may inadvertently encourage use of protected or prohibited areas. This raises questions about Strava's commitment to environmental stewardship and respect for land management policies. Is Strava taking responsibility for filtering this data appropriately, or simply deferring liability to Mapbox and OpenStreetMap?OpenStreet
