IFIT import - No Elevation Stats

When importing an IFIT workout from my Nordictrack treadmill, no elevation stats show up.  When imported into other programs, such as RUNNA and Training Peaks, the elevation does show.  Why is this data not showing in Strava?

Steps not recording

Hi, the last few walks I’ve done on the Strava app don’t appear to be recording my step count. I’ve checked all permissions from apple health and vice versa and they are all on, tried to crop the route slightly just to see it would reset but nothing. Any ideas?

(Resolved) App on android not syncing. The page to connect to Google Fit keeps jumping

I am trying to sync my fitness data with Strava. It has been syncing fine up until a few days ago. It usually gets data from Polar but for some reason it stopped syncing. In the android app the page to connect to Google fit is buggy. Keeps skipping to option to connect where I press continue then it goes to next page where I click done then it returns back to the same page where I already clicked continue...Round and round. Please help.

How is average power calculated for a bike ride if you don’t have a power meter?  Thank you.

Wahoo vs Strava cadence

I use a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt V1 with a Wahoo cadence sensor. My average cadence in Wahoo and Strava is always different, with Strava always being lower.Does Strava take 0rpm into account for its average? There is a setting in the Wahoo Elemnt to include zeros in the average count, which I have disabled. I am guessing this is why, but I just wanted to ask here in case someone already had come across this in the past.

Photos no longer display on map—possible to adjust settings?

I've noticed that the photos I upload to Strava no longer display on the maps of my activities. I believe this may be related to the privacy controls described in this help article (https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025920332-Strava-s-Privacy-Controls-FAQ). However, the article doesn't describe how "near" to a hidden portion of the activity photos must be to be hidden, and the behavior doesn't seem consistent. For example, I have activities from earlier this year with photos taken within a few blocks of a hidden portion that are displayed, and more recent activities with photos taken several miles from the hidden portion that aren't displayed. The images on the map are one of my favorite features—it gives me a very quick, easy way to "relive" certain portions of a run. While I understand and appreciate the privacy issues, would it at least be possible to adjust the settings on my end, so that I could control what images I see on the map? Thanks for considering this!

How do I fix an issue on Strava where my workout path history doesn't show up?

I'm connecting with Strava through the zepp app. But I'm experiencing a lot of inconvenience because my workout route record is visible on the zepp app but not on Strava. What should I do in this case?

Current pace not showing

Hey, I have a problem with the pacing system. Before Strava showed me the pace per each kilometer and now it seems to be the average pace from my run which isn’t optimal for interval training. I have a Strava subscription, which I think should make it able so I can see the pace per kilometer.  anyone have any ideas on what I could do to fix it?

graphs in activities

Since a few months the graphs in the activities show 2 metrics, of which always the altitude profile which is hiding the underlying metric, like speed, heart beat, power etc... how can I go back to graphs with only 1 metric, without the altitude profile?

Routes API always returning an empty array of waypoints

I'm trying to retrieve the waypoints of a route to generate directions but they're always returning empty. I tried both {athlete}/routes and routes/{route_id}. Is anyone else experiencing this?

How to fix incorrect PBs associated with deleted activities

So I’ve been recording a bunch of Strava activities on my mobile as well as Garmin watch. I’ve realised the phone GPS is largely inaccurate at times, adding multiple additional miles on my runs, really exaggerating my PBs for all distances. I’ve now deleted the runs recorded on my phone but it hasn’t automatically updated the original runs from the watch to show PBs. I’m worried this ghost data will affect my future runs. I really don’t want to have to create a new account. Any advice is great.

Heart Rate Missing

Hi,I use an Apple Watch and all of my other data appears when my runs are uploaded except for my heart rate. I checked the health settings and ensured that all of the possible information is shared. I am confused because my heart rate used to appear until June 7th and suddenly stopped, but I don't believe I changed any settings.

step count missing in DetailedActivity

When reading activity data, we can't get the step count of an activity. Even when the step count is visible in the Strava app, when retrieving the detailed activity data, there is no step count reference. Will this be added soon? Users ask us for this feature.

No Cadence Data in Strava Apple Watch App

I just paid for a premium to be able to use Beacon when I'm out with my bike. I have a new Apple Watch Ultra with cellular and wanted to be able to go for a ride without my phone and a bike computer while still sending my location to my wife.I rode today and - there seems to be no way to have cadence data? I can't find a way to pair a sensor in the watch or use the already paired sensor (via Apple fitness).Never in a million years could I have imagined that a cycling app would not support cadence data?Also, the UI is basically unusable when trying to have a quick glance - the Apple App is miles ahead...Did I miss something or are there any plans on improving this mess? Seems like I have just waisted 75 EUR on this...

Connected athlete limit

Hi there. I have a medium sized app and am approaching the limit for the number of connected athletes. I have completed the review form (https://share.hsforms.com/1VXSwPUYqSH6IxK0y51FjHwcnkd8) but not yet heard anything back from Strava. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to review connected athlete / rate limit increases?Thanks in advance.

Most activities are missing from personal heatmap

Hi all!I recently resubscribed to Strava and I noticed that almost all of my activities are left out from heatmaps. I have chosen: All time All sports Include private activities So I think all of them should be on the heatmap, but almost none of them are included, even some quite recent activities are missing

need help cropping a run

I would actually like to know how to remove an inaccurately recorded part from my route. My Fitbit is linked to my Strava app, but while my Fitbit knows I've stopped, Strava kept recording my drive home after my run.  AKA, I ran 8 miles, not 20. 🙄

inaccurate times in "this week" highlight on my profile

I recorded 2 rock climbing sessions last week: one for 1h 21m and one for 1h 27m, however when I look under "Rock Climb" in the "This week" section of my profile, it says I only did 56m of rock climbing. I have a similar problem with the week before.  I'm wondering if this has to do with the fact that I just got a new Garmin watch and started recording these activities as a "workout" on the watch and and then switching them to "rock climb" once they have uploaded to Strava.
