I want to make a group goal for 200km run total. How can i invite people who aren't subscribed?

When using Fenix 7 to log a ride, then ride time becomes shorter in Strava then garmin express. Resulting in lots of wrong data output from Strava. Approx 30% less ride time in Strava. Anyone have a solution/explanation for this??

I forgot to end my activity before getting in the car and driving home. I cropped my activity to remove the drive, but it’s still showing up as “my longest activity on Strava” It would be nice if this updated when the activity gets updated. 

Today i recorded a virtual 5k run in Strava which should have synced with NYRR site. This counts for the virtual competition i have registered with NYRR. I would like Strava to rectify this issue by syncing the data with NYRR 

nothing works. I restarted tboth my watch and my phone. I deleted this app and redownloaded again then I reconnected my watch strava to phone strava. and still 5 or 6 activities are stuck and they are not posted

UPDATE FROM STRAVA: Hello. This issue is now resolved. Thanks to everyone who posted here about it, we appreciated your patience while we worked to get this fixed.   Has anyone had this issue? I am able to share activities successfully to FB from either desktop app or mobile app from Strava. However, I get a random thumbnail of a woman (and it's not a prior photo I've used) when sharing the link, rather than the preferred image I use or even the map anymore. I could not find anything on Google, Reddit or the Strava Community Hub about this issue. Most searches get results about dealing with "random followers" or other map issues but not rendering issues to other platforms. TY! I love Strava otherwise. 🙂

I have numerous bikes and just recently bought an e bike. I see that when I designate the ride as an ebike ride, I do not get credit towards my yearly riding mileage goal. I don’t want to mess up the segment results because of using an ebike and have no problem listing it as an ebike ride. But I don’t like not getting credit for my yearly mileage and that creates a moral dilema. Do I not list it as an ebike and F-up the segment times, or list it and not get total mileage credit. Strava realizes this is a problem when it sent out notices recently that it intends to increase flagging segments. It would help if I could count all my rides, on all my bikes including my ebike towards my yearly goal and not have to make a choice. I have seen segments that I know the leading time is an ebike over a regular bike and I don’t like it. C’mon Strava, fix this.

I’ve created a group for a team of people for accountability for their training as we head into an international tournament next year. We can’t seem to share links in the group discussion, is this a bug or are we doing it wrong?

Since a couple weeks/ months the feedback doesn't show I rode together with other strava users. I haven't changed any settings. It worked woth those users in the past. Any idea what I can do? Adding/ inviting to the ride doesn't be the answer. That will add up the km's to my totale which is not gooed. Thanks in avance. Regards, Rick

I’ve been trying to cancel my Strava Premium subscription for a while now, but I’m completely stuck and would really appreciate some help. My Strava account says my subscription is managed via Google Play and will automatically renew on June 27, 2025. But I’ve checked all my Google accounts, and there’s no Strava subscription anywhere, not in active subscriptions, not in expired ones, not in my Google payments history. Nothing. I’ve also tried: Searching all my inboxes for a Strava or Google Play receipt Cancelling through the Strava website on desktop and incognito, it just redirects me to Google Play, where again, there’s nothing to cancel, Using different browsers on 3 different devices (phone, tablet, computer) same result every time, Reaching out to support multiple times, but I only got a automated reply that didn’t address the problem at all. The renewal is coming up soon, and I

I have data in Strava going back to 2012.   Not even sure how long I have been a subscribing member but a very long time.  Would be a great to have both LifeTime PRs and Best Efforts and the ability to choose default timeframe for PRs and Best Efforts. Unfortunate truth is my 2012 PRs and Best Efforts are all but irrelevent to me now.   Would love to be able to set my “age group” so that the default for all my PRs and Best Efforts would be my personal results while I was in that Age Group and not my All Time Bests.   Alternatively, I would be able to set my default time frame for what I see on a daily basis.  Frankly its annoying that I am getting my ATBs on a daily basis.  

Strava shows the Apple watch indoor bike ride as just a ride and tags it as an indoor ride. Why does it not categorize the ride as a virtual ride just like Zwift and Fulgaz?

Would like to view e bike live segments on my Garmin edge 520 plus but cant get them to come up

Hi.I ran in a 10k race last night. My official time was 37:01. When I crossed the finish I stopped my Garmin, had a breather for 30 seconds but then accidently started my watch again for a brief second before stopping it and saving the activity.Strava is now showing the elapsed time as 37:31 (so it has obviously taken into account the 'pause' in the activity).This has messed up my splits and records for the the race.Is there any way to delete this 30 second pause and brief restart? I tried cropping the activity but this just takes distance off rather than the 'pause'.I kind of get the feature as you could otherwise run insane times by abusing the pause feature but surely there is a way to edit this?Thanks 

I’m new to Strava. I did a ride around 12km on my bike commute yesterday. The GPS tracking went haywire, scribbled all over the middle of my route and subsequently says that I cycled 16km. I assumed that I could remove the error part by editing the map, but it appears that I can’t do so? This clearly required feature is available on Runkeeper! Can I not remove GPS tracking errors?

I had my first half marathon today, and I broke PR, but on Strava, it only calculated 21.09 after having tried the “Correct Distance” option. I have seen that this is not an uncommon problem for people missing a 0.1km recording. If there is a way any can help me I would appreciate it! I am trying to at least have a record of my PR

My Polar app have recorded both total time and moving time. 10 minutes between these two times, but when I upload to Strava the pace is calculated based on the total time and not the moving time. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

I used the new AI-generated route generator on the mobile app (why wouldn’t this start on the normal route builder?).  After several attempts to get a route that seemed rational, the few resulting routes took me on very dangerous roads.  One had me on the main interstate the runs through my city.  The one I used recently was in a new are that I hadn’t explored yet (unfamiliar with the roads), so I gave it a try.  I really wanted this to work well.  In the end, the route had me ride on about 12 miles of very unsafe roads that were single lane, no shoulder, busy with traffic.  What I learned is that these routes should just not be trusted and only used in areas you’re already familiar with.  I think there are a few necessary features that are missing for “safe” route making to ever work properly.Time of day of the sourced bike traffic:  Riding at 6AM on a specific road may end with a much different experience than riding at 10AM.  Trying to create routes for different time

The activity type field in the activities.csv file is “Bike” for both road rides and gravel rides, so the distinction is essentially lost. The activities.csv file should include a “sport type” field (matching the API), which supports values like “GravelRide.” As it stands, users are unable to obtain a faithful copy of their data in bulk.

Why is there no discount for pensioners or people on low income.

When I check my efforts on a given segment, Strava always shows "Running Power" (watts) by default, instead of heart rate — and there’s no way to change this or set a personal preference.I’d like to request that users be allowed to choose which metric is displayed by default in the segment effort table.For short or consistent segments, GAP (grade-adjusted pace) and power are strongly correlated with actual pace. In these cases, showing watts doesn't add much value if pace is already shown.However, heart rate does reflect meaningful differences in internal effort between similar paces, and is a crucial metric for runners who want to understand their performance and progression.With modern watches now sending power data automatically, users are being forced to view data they didn't opt into — and in many cases, it's not useful or relevant.Thank you for considering this improvement. It would make the analysis experience much better for many of us.

Is there a way to record 5 mile best efforts? I see 5k and then 10k and then 15k and then 10 mile but no 5 mile and 5 miles is such a common running distance.

I was being charge amounting of 4975.59 last May 31 2025. I canceled the subscription in the same day that I was being charge it was not intended to use this app since I barely used it at all I try to submit ticket but no response to it. I canceled May 31 but since it's weekend I decided to wait till Monday but still no response and I submit another ticket and it's says it's solve even it didn't check. At all Pls solve this issue ASAP I canceled the subscription before 14 days pass and request a refund 

Hi everyone. Since Strava has rejiggered their recorder on the app (Android specifically) a week or so ago, I am noticing the on screen display is only updating every mile (i.e. once you push start it'll stay at 0.00 until you hit 1.00, then stay there until 2.00, etc).  This was not the behavior in the old version of the activity recorder which would update every hundreths of a mile. Not sure it matters but this is a bike ride being recorded.  I also noticed if I stop, the resulting activity does display the correct distance.  It's only in the recording mode itself.-Dan
