TOP Kudoed and Solutions Authors in the Community Hub ‌🏆‌‌⭐‌

 There are two things this Community Hub thrives on - kudos and accepted solutions. If you are using Strava, you are probably familiar with that amazing feeling of receiving a kudo for your hard work or giving a kudo to recognize someone's amazing achievements. There is no better feeling than seeing all your efforts supported by your community of friends and other athletes! In our Community Hub, we like to say that kudos are forever - and they are often given as a thumbs-up for good content and a pat on the back to its author. Your kudos help to boost the value of certain messages and enhance the reputation of their authors. Or you maybe just want to recognize how much you enjoyed reading that Insider Journal article! On the other hand, accepted solutions in Community Hub are here to provide the members with the ability to mark someone's comment as helpful and insightful - especially if that comment helped resolve the issue you were experiencing or it saved you some t

Unclaimable Challenges

   I have come across too many challenges on Strava that make it impossible to claim any prizes though deceptive practices for those who make the challenges. Has anyone delt with this issue before? I currently am dealing with "The Feed" for the second time with unmet rewards. They now owe me twice. Other challenges flat out offer 'money' in the description but will turn around and re-word the deals when anyone gets to the rewards pages to include Subsciptions, purchase, Expiring rewards. I'm getting tired of no help with this.Anyone else?

Flagging a segment

HI everyone , i realise this has been discussed before but I've just done a segment in singapore and it seems like the first 20 ppl in the segment could be flagged as most have a running pace of 2:12 ish. it seems flagging is an activity on its own. can i do multiple flags ? maybe if you don't have enough data you shouldn't be aloud on leader boards, i.e HR and cadence being the main data sources for runners  and if the  times are faster than world records they  should be flagged automatically.

Tuesday Chat with Team Strava featuring NOMNOMS!

NOMNOMS defined:  1. the sounds one makes when eating something incredibly tasty  2. the unofficial dog mascot of Strava 3. A delicious taste of a food product or drink. Let's take a closer look at #2. Nomnoms became part of the Strava family in early 2021 when his human, Patrick joined Strava.   EARLY LIFE: Nomnoms was born in 2015 and was the runt of the litter. He found his forever home when he was 8 months old and was adopted into Patrick's home. From the beginning, Patrick would outfit Nomnoms with a bandana to give him different looks. He now has over 50 bandanas that he graciously shares with Patrick. Nomnoms also owns a number of outfits ensuring he is ready for any occasion!   HOBBIES:  As his name suggests, one of Nomnoms favorite activities is eating, he enjoys almost all foods. He will always go to where the food is at and follow anyone that has some. Nomnoms also enjoys going on runs, hikes AND bike rides with his human.

Strava & Profitability

Please figure out a way to profitability. I can’t imagine a world without Strava and I don’t want to. If you need to charge more, do it. I think we all appreciate what this means to millions of people. In my opinion this is the last, and best, well-lit corner of the social web — it is open, honest, fun, positive, and builds community through sport.

New here? Come say hello (January 2023)

👋 Hello and welcome to Strava Community Hub! We love getting to know all of our new members every month, so if that happens to be you, we are excited to hear a little bit more about you. If you're comfortable, here are some points to share:  Your name Which country/state you're from Your favorite Sport Types Your 2023 intentions   My name is Soren and I am from Switzerland but live in Denver, Colorado. I am a passionate cyclist, but I enjoy many other kinds of movement such as weight lifting, walking, stretching, water sports and badminton. Last year, I set a big distance goal, which I achieved a few days before the year ended, but it left me feeling quite depleted. This year I've decided that I would much rather prefer to have experience-based goals, such as go bikepacking with co-workers, discover more dirt trails, ride under the moonlight, run a marathon (with the goal to simply complete it), focus on fostering a community of cyclists that's interested in having

Half marathon tips?

Hi, I’ve just started to take running seriously this year and I’m June I ran my first 10km in 1 hour 15 mins. That’s the longest I’ve ever run but I have now signed up for a half marathon for December. Does anyone have any tips at all for a beginner?

Tuesday Chat with Team Strava - Share your 2023 Goals here!

Happy New Year and welcome back to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava. As we roll into 2023, the New Year is a time when many of us start to think ahead about what we want to accomplish this year, and how we’re going to get there.  Setting goals can be a powerful tool to motivate us and keep us moving. If you’re not familiar with Strava’s goal setting features, now is a great time to give them a try!   On the Strava Mobile App, Subscribers can set goals for all sport types.  We support time, elevation and distance goals, and they can be weekly, monthly or annual.  If you’re not sure of all the sport types we support, check them out here.  We added some new ones in 2022. If you’re looking to set a power or segment goal, that can be done from the Strava Website.   For me personally, I’ve been using Strava’s goal feature to motivate myself for years.  Last year, I set an annual distance goal for running and another one for cycling.  How d

Tuesday Chat with Team Strava - World Cup Fever

Growing up Canadian, I was not tuned into the world of professional soccer (football). By “not tuned in”, I mean I didn’t know it existed.  Like most Canadians, I lived and breathed the sport of ice hockey, or as we called it, hockey. In a land where winter can be 8 months long, and every small town has at least one hockey rink, inserting the word “ice” was simply not necessary. Not long after I started dating my now Partner, (he hails from the United Kingdom)  I heard him utter the words “World Cup” in regards to an upcoming event.  When I enquired what that was, he fixed me with a puzzled and somewhat pained stare of disbelief, before informing me that it was ”the most popular sporting event in the world”.  Who knew?  Apparently a lot of people, but I wasn’t one of them.   In the intervening years, I’ve learned a lot about the World Cup and come to appreciate why soccer/football is known as “the beautiful game”.  Today, I’m happy to share with

Including kilometers

I ride a Computrainer which requires calibration.  Every time that I ride the CT and upload to STRAVA the warm up and Calibration is not included in the total kilometers because the actual event has not started until 15 minutes of Calibration is completed.I estimate that on every event or ride 20% of the total does not register to STRAVA.This adds up at the end of the year.Solutions??

Community discovery

I may be missing some existing features but I'm curious to learn if there is a way to meet like-minded individual's that are nearby to me (i.e. in my city). I travel a lot (digital nomad) and have found great joy in being part of some running clubs for a few weeks.Unfortunately, a lot of places in the US don't have existing running clubs (that I can't find through a Google/Facebook/etc. search at least) but I'm sure there must be other runners out there that might be interested in showing a newbie around their town.Is there a way to already do this in Strava, or could this be a way this community hub is leveraged? Thanks!

‌👋‌ Hello! Come introduce yourself and share your 2022 story (December)

👋 Hello & Welcome in. If you're new here then it's a little Community ritual we like to keep going each month to have you come and introduce yourself here. Share whatever you're comfortable with, whether that's what activities you like to do, what you're interested in learning from other Strava athletes to help you go further or just a random fact about yourself. For December, let's talk about your favorite activity from this year. If you were writing a message to someone to share something memorable you did this year what would it be? For me, this year has been memorable for some of my bigger hiking adventures that I managed to record and share on Strava. Most memorably, I was able to visit Channel Islands National Park, California (just off the coast from north LA) and hike around the biggest island Santa Cruz for a few days. It was not as cold as I would have liked, quite dusty but extraordinarily peaceful and beautiful.

Recovery Motivation - How do you get there?

I have a feeling that I'm not alone here, but maybe some of you all have ideas on how to improve in this area.  I have a hard time taking a day off, or even having a recovery day.  I know that I should do more recovery and rest days, I know that I should stretch more... but I just don't do it.  I keep seeing my Relative Effort numbers in Strava (and my Weekly Intensity), and pushing myself to constantly increase them... which (eventually) leads to some form of injury (pulled achilles, knee pain, etc.) - forcing a long break from the activities I love.  I just find it so hard to take a rest day (I end up feeling like I'm lazy if I do).Q: How do you motivate yourself to rest and recover?

Looking to connect with cyclist via Indoor workouts

Hello, I currently have an indoor trainer, but it gets quite boring. I am looking to voice chat with people during rides to keep each other motivated. I have tried zwift and I really like the platform, but I found many of the voice chatrooms empty.  Is anyone interested in connecting and chatting during rides?

Tuesday Chat with Team Strava - Spotlight on Sarah

Welcome back to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava! Today we’re happy to present a Question and Answer session with Strava Employee Sarah from our Community Management Team. Q: Hi Sarah - tell us a little bit about yourself. Hey, hi, hello! I’m a world citizen, passionate cyclist, mother, photographer, and avid adventurer. I have been employed at Strava for two years and love to be immersed in an environment where inspiration for movement is constantly trickling in from every corner. Q: I heard you had a pretty epic cycling adventure last winter. What did you do? I went on my first solo bikepacking trip and rode my bike 1600 miles (2575 kilometers) in 16 days, from my front door in Denver, CO to my friend’s front door in Knoxville, TN. I had some unexpected encounters with extreme cold temps, brutal (head)winds, delightful people and emerged from the journey with newfound self-love and compassion. Q: What motivated you to take on such a challenging ride and how long did you plan for it b

Shimano GRX modification

Heya, I'm planning on buying a new bike. My intention is to go for a CX one-by. I'm also planning to use the bike as a roadbike in summer. Hence my qustion is: Does anybody know or have experiences in changing the charinring? 40 or 46 teeth are maybe not sufficient to ride with lads on tarmac. I'm planning to switch the chainrings in summer and fall to convert from "crosser" to "roadbike" and vice versa. Is this technically possible? Please don't try to warn me about different geometries. I've tried the different frames and in the end it's always the legs not the reach nor the stack which is your limiter. I'm not planning to compete in the Giro oder the Vuelta. Thank you in advance. Keen on your input.

Use this thread to introduce yourself and meet some new people. We'd love to hear more about who you are, what activities interest you and also importantly what your favorite cheese is 🧀?  Here's mine: Scotland born but now California based (the 😎 shines more here) I love hiking, running (sometimes) and also hoping to establish maze based walking/solving as an up and coming sport type, cause it's a real workout running round those things.  I love cheese. My favorites right now are anything from Wisconsin or California though especially enjoying Gouda recently and trying out some vegan cheeses like Cashew or Smoked Gouda.  Share your story, favorite cheese or favorite cheese based story.

Want to get access to exclusive content?

We recently hosted our first exclusive AMA (Ask Me Anything) session featuring one of Strava’s Senior Software Engineers. This was an unprecedented opportunity for a select group of Community Hub’s Top Contributors to chat with a tenured Strava engineer about all things Strava, ask product questions, and get a deeper understanding of Strava features. The conversation went so well, so we wanted to share a brief summary of the event: There were 15 questions for our Strava engineer to answer and some of the topics that were discussed included: Removing your own PRs and Best Efforts Points of Interest Implement age-adjusted stats/pace Runs being falsely uploaded as Virtual Rides Parity across platforms (web, app) Will Strava Labs projects be revived? Segment matching algorithm accuracy Speed, Pace and Distance calculations and discrepancies How Relative Effort is calculated Distance discrepancy between Strava and other platforms Adding a category for Single speed bikes Sinc
