Strava occasionally mixes the distances in my activity totals. I mostly cycle using a Garmin device, but also track walking activities with my iPhone on the Strava app. After the walk, I upload the activity and change the description to “Walk”. Strava usually excludes the walking miles from my cycling total, but occasionally the walking distance is included in total cycling miles. Once included, I have been unable to get the miles out unless I delete the activity. Any insight into the way to correct would be appreciated.
Is there a reason you aren’t selecting the walk activity before you record it on the phone app? If you don’t use the phone app for cycling, there is no need to have it record as a ride to start with which would help eliminate the issue of it happening in the first place. Once you select “walk” for one activity, it will default to that the next time so you only have to do it the one time.
As far as the totals, it may just be that it takes a little time for the system to re-calculate things. Sometimes even things like segment results won’t show up right away but will eventually get worked out once the system has time to process everything.
That makes sense. I have changed it to “walk” on the iPhone and will see if that solves the issue. Thanks.
