Welcome to the Community - May 2024 Edition

Happy May and thanks for stopping by! Our Community Hub continues to thrive thanks to each and everyone of you. If you’re new here, please take a look around; there’s a lot to take in. Not sure where to start? Check out this post.  May brings us a number of celebrations across the globe. Here in the United States, we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage (AAPI) Month. Throughout May, and all year long, we hope you join us in recognizing the contributions and accomplishments of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islander Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.  To celebrate AAPI Month, Strava invites you to join the AAPI Month Mindful Movement Challenge. We’re challenging people on Strava to get out and do 15 minutes of activity for 8 days this month. You have all of May to join and complete this challenge. Once completed, you’ll earn a digital finisher's badge for your Trophy Case.Kudos to our Internal Pan-Asi

Sparking Conversation in Clubs

“I use the Hellahgood Run Club as a space for everyone to feel like they belong. I like to call it OUR club and hope that people feel some sort of pride in being part of something together that’s bigger than ourselves and encourage each other to keep staying active.” – Hellah Sidibe, HellahGood Run Club   There’s nothing more ubiquitous in building community than having conversations. From direct conversations to group chats, we build community through conversations. We have explored the club sport type, let’s talk about club posts.If a club’s sports type is its beacon to athletes, a club's posts feed is the campfire the community will gather around. Club organizers on Strava should lean into these Club communications to keep their members engaged and motivated. So, how do posts show up, and what should be discussed? It’s worth noting there are two types of posts that can be created in Clubs on Strava: Club Announcements, created by admins and published by the club itself Member

Need help! My profile doesn't show my activity so I'm now following myself!

Hi!I'm new to Strava - signed up to track my challenge progress for CRUK. I did my first run today using my apple watch. It recorded fine and I had an email congratulating me for my first run. The link in that email opens in the Strava app on my iphone and shows me my run. But, when I go back to 'home' there is no activity showing for me. So, I now follow myself! I've linked my Strava to CRUK and it's showing no activity.I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but can someone please help!

나의 아이디가 잠겼습니다. / My ID has been locked.

애플 로그인으로 스트라바를 로그인했었는데 현재는 삼성 핸드폰을 사용해서, 애플 로그인이 어렵습니다. 사용하던 아이디를 그대로 사용하고 싶은데 방법을 알려주세요. 모든 활동이 활성화된 상태에서 계정이 잠겨 있고 비밀번호를 변경하려고 했지만가능하지않다고 나옵니다.  내 친구들이 내 활동을 볼 수 있기 때문에 내 이전 계정이 여전히 활성 상태라는 것을 알고 있습니다. 변경 가능하게 도와주세요. TRANSLATION: I used to log in to Strava with Apple login, but now I'm using a Samsung phone, so Apple login is difficult. I would like to use the same ID I was using. Please tell me how. My account is locked with all activity active and I tried to change my password but it says that's not possible. I know my old account is still active because my friends can see my activity. Please help me make this change.

Tracking family members with Strava

My daughter has a Garmin Edge and uses Strave.  We are many times in places with no cell service so the Find My App on the phone cannot track her.  Is there a way for her to share her real time location with me if she does  not have cell service, but I do?

Fitbit Sense 2

Has anybody else had problems with Fitbit?I’ve recently done 2 x 5km runs and the information from my Fitbit device has differed massively when it’s linked to my Strava account. I’ve just completed a 5km run in 27ish mins and when the data reached Strava it said I’d done 3.24km in 18ish mins. The pace was the same at 5’32”/km. I've already deactivated and reactivated my Fitbit to Strava and that hasn’t helped. has anyone got any ideas?

Speed wrong

I am a paying user so please don’t answer with “subscribe ….”. I use an iPhone 15 pro max. Everything is updated, Strava app has been re-installed etc. Strava doesn’t show the church speed during cycling any more. When I start it takes at least a kilometre until a speed is shown at all. But right after showing it, it freezes for a few minutes. That issue repeats. So I never have the actual speed.  Curiously, the distance is shown correctly. I assume it’s not an gps issue. Has anybody a solution?

Is there a way to connect two or more strava routes?

I have made ten routes to circle the state of Louisiana, in ten days.  I'd like to connect all ten routes, into one route.  Is there a way to do that?

Cheating user

There's a user who keeps uploading activities without having ridden them on a proper bicycle. It's a velomobile and therefore has almost no wind resistance. He sets KOMs on flat segments almost every single day, no matter the wind condition - with heart rates consistently low and sometimes not even pedaling. I have asked him nicely to properly designate his activities - no response. I have flagged all his activities - he unflags them and has started flagging some of mine as a response. I have already opened a ticket to report this user but I do want to make sure that such blatant acts of cheating and flouting the user guidelines are properly handled and the user's profile blocked. This is a link to his Strava Profile (which is, unfortunately, set to private): https://www.strava.com/athletes/37174386 .This behavior is extremely frustrating to me - other users have also reported him over the years, and it seems like he sometimes accepts being flagged, but not anymore.

New Member here. Martial Artist looking to continue fitness journey

Hello Strava.I'm new to this app as I've looked for a different solution to track my caloric output during training sessions. I had heard that this was a good option for many sports and activities that I do for cross training (running, weightlifting, walking, yoga and HIIT) that support my Martial Arts practice. I had been using my Apple Watch to track calories but it is too big and dangerous to use while sparring and jiujitsu grappling so I moved to a Coros tracker in conjunction with Strava.I'm currently a black belt in mixed martial arts based in tae kwon do, brazilian jiujitsu, kickboxing and western boxing. Looking forward to interacting with Strava!

problem with Strava

Hello dear creators of Strava! I am writing to you because of the latest update with Strava routes, they are very poorly generated, they are of the same type and do not correspond to the requests at all. I understand that the developers wanted to do the best, but I kindly ask you to return the previous version of generating routes for a premium account.

Consistency

I feel that consistency is ultimately a leading factor when referring to progression. I think without continuity progress is unattainable and merely a mirage. I myself have slipped quite often these past few years and that basically relates back to me not being constant day in and day out. I've been taking more of an easy back door approach which is difficult to admit especially when referring to one's self, it's definitely not an easy thing to admit. I know all I can do is whatever may be necessary that particular day for me to do. But most importantly do not skip a day or days. I must remember that when it comes to goal setting, "one day at a time is unmistakenly number one!"

Durée de la course / Race duration

Bonjour à tous,  Je cherche à comprendre pourquoi la durée de la course ne correspond plus à la version téléchargée une fois que le recalcule de la distance est fait. Et pourquoi ce n'est pas possible de revenir en arrière. J'ai fait un 24h récemment, lors du téléchargement il affiché bien 24.00.15 puis après le recalcule de la distance il affichait 18.40.12  J'ai voulue revenir à la distance d'origine mais ca n'a pas fonctionné. Merci pour votre aide. Bonne journéeTRANSLATION: Hello everyone, I'm trying to understand why the duration of the race no longer corresponds to the downloaded version once the distance has been recalculated. And why it's not possible to go back. I did a 24h recently, when downloading it showed 24.00.15 then after recalculating the distance it showed 18.40.12 I wanted to return to the original distance but it didn't work.Thanks for your help. Good day

Push Notifications - Not Working One UI 6 (Android)

Hi,Is anyone else having issues with Android and One UI with Strava and Push Notifications?For a while now i have been missing any notifications on the app being pushed to my phone, have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but now luck with that. I have recently updated my Phone Software but not resolved it, there has been at least one Strava App update but again no fix to this problem. Feel like i am missing lots of comments and replies and also activities by my favorite atheletes.I have submitted a ticket but there is minimal updates on the situation and i feel like i have been forgotten about, just want to know if the issue is widespread or specific to a certain OS version. I pay annually for the subscription that has went up but i feel like i am not really getting much for my money especially now that i have this issue.

The latest app update [353.0.0] has made the Maps significantly worse

I’ve always appreciated the clarity and simplicity of Strava’s map tool, which has been indispensable for both planning my runs and navigating on the trail. However, the recent update has introduced new features that, while intended to enhance our experience, unfortunately clutter the map and compromise its ease of use. The additional information now overlays the map, making it difficult to focus on the essentials, particularly when I'm out on the trails.While I recognize the good intentions behind these updates, the true value of the map tool for me has always been its straightforward, clean presentation, showcasing both global and personal heatmap data without unnecessary distractions. Previously, I could circumvent the issue of multiple route suggestions by switching to the 'Saved' tab, a workaround that's no longer available. Now, the route suggestion feature is omnipresent, detracting from my user experience. I'm not looking for an array of suggested routes each time I check the m

Cycling a road bike in Denmark 🇩🇰

Hi Strava users! I'm taking my road bike to Denmark and was wondering if anyone has any tips for rides in Jutland. Also I’ve read somewhere that all bikes need a bell and sets of reflectors by law, I hadn’t planned for that, and I’ve never seen most road bike riders with these attached in the uk, or any other European country. How strictly is it enforced? I will have lights but am unlikely to be riding at night. Thanks for your advice and clarification!
