Hi! 
My Strava is recording more than I actually walk and my streak on Strava should be about a mounth by now but its like 100 something. Why? I like Strava app but I need to find a new app if it continiues like this…. 
 

Can anyone help me? 

Please check your recorded tracks, if they show aberrations whenever you walk in a straight line then the GPS reception wasn’t good. It will add distance if it seems you meandered instead of walking straight ahead. Maybe you can position your phone elsewhere during your walks where the view to the sky is better or maybe there are settings for the location services that can be optimized. 

For the second part I don’t understand what you mean when you compare “a mounth” with “100 something”, maybe you can elaborate that further.

Yes, okey, than I will try that. 
 

I have walk in a streak since the 17 june this year but when I checked my stats it says that I had a streak for 141 days and 29 weeks.

Do you know why?

For Strava streaks one activity with at least 1 minute in a week counts, not one per day. See https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/36553427481997-Streaks-on-Strava for further details. The 141 is the number of activities, not the number of days.

Thank you for clearing that up for me! Have a nice day!
