Already making good use of the Direct Message (DM) function in the latest STRAVA app update, but one question:  will this feature be made available on the STRAVA website as well? Thanks in advance!

December is here! Whether it’s your first time visiting the Community Hub, or if you’re one of our regulars, thanks for stopping by, we’re happy you’re here!                                                          As we enter the final month of 2023, the days are getting shorter and colder in most places in the northern hemisphere. December brings the winter solstice on the 21st that marks the shortest day of the year north of the equator. Conversely the southern hemisphere will enjoy their longest day of the year with the summer solstice.  With temperatures dropping, many folks move their workouts indoors. You can record a number of indoor activities with Strava including yoga, rock climbing, HIIT and many more. For more information, take a look at this post.  Zwift has also become a popular alternative for many cyclists. We have a

Hi guys! I'm trying to change the measurements on my app from miles to kilometres, but i don't seem to have the setting under preferences. Any ideas? Thanks

Evening guys. Does anybody know the model of this Shimano Altus? I do apologise if this request is in the wrong place but looked everywhere for somewhere to post this but can't find anywhere. Thanks for your understanding guys. 👍     Much thanks guys.

If you like community events and live in the United States, there’s a good chance that you have participated in a Turkey Trot. As the name suggests, the Turkey Trot is derived from one of the most common foods served at Thanksgiving dinner, the turkey. Turkey Trots bring communities together and are fun for the whole family.  It all began in Buffalo, New York back in 1896 when the local YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) hosted an 8K race. Six people signed up and just four of them crossed the finish line. This year, the YMCA Turkey Trot will mark its 128th consecutive start making it the longest consecutively run race in the world. This turkey trot has become one of the most popular races on Thanksgiving; there is so much interest that it is now capped at 14,000 participants. This event raises more than $300,000 for YMCA Buffalo Niagara and proceeds raised go back into the community to help local families in need of financial assistance.Many Turkey Trots are considered

Hello , greetings from Portugal.How to offer a subs to a friend or even to a group of friends ? Thanks for the help in advance

Been bicycling with Strava for the Summer outdoor season, now I'm focusing on indoor winter training with a KickR, Zwift and Strava,   And liking many of the features on Strava.

I'm missing my favourite features .. what happened Strava? Over 10 years full featured paying member and all of a sudden I can't compare my results with other cyclists in my age category. Why did I not get a notification of this change. At least I could have decided to upgrade my subscription. 

Hi there everyone. I can't believe I've been using Strava since 2011 and I never joined the Community till now!I live in Minnesota and participate in a number of endurance sports. For cycling categories, I do fat tire (studded tires for fear free winter riding!), road (time trials, structured workouts, fun rides), gravel, and dabble in cyclocross. Trail running, road running, and I started racewalking in August 2023. First racewalking meet on December 10! I also do strength training and love Kelly Starrett's mobility activities. I loathe doing endurance work indoors, so I cycle, run, and racewalk outside no matter the weather. It can be a challenge when it's -10 degrees F or lower, but with the right gear (including an Airtrim mask), I get it done. 🥳🥶☃

Olá, sou de Ribeirão Preto SP, o Strava me proporciona uma alegria, uma motivação a mais! Muito bom estar aqui! Uma boa atividade física a todos! 🏃🏻‍♂👊🫡TRANSLATION:  Hello, I'm from Ribeirão Preto SP, Strava gives me joy, extra motivation!Great to be here!Good physical activity to everyone!  

Heyyy Every1...I don't have much 2 say... I'm here to get in shape... Hopefully this helps... I live in Toms River, New Jersey... 

I plan to do a thru-hike similar to the Pacific Crest Trail where there could be a few days without cell service.I know the Strava app can allow you to save un-synced training sessions. I just tested and was able to save 10. My tests were short, just a few minutes long. I wonder if I can save several long days hiking un-synced. For example Is there a data limit? 

I use Strava on a Samsung S22.  Recently it has stopped recording moving time correctly.  Take today.  Did a 3.74 ml hike.  Elapsed time 1:52:22, moving time 0:44:20!  This gives an average moving pace of 11:58/mile, which is just not right.  Max speed was 23.4 mph!!  Have tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it again without success.  Any suggestions?

Hi Everyone, I want to set a goal to do 2500 miles by running, biking, walking, swimming, crawling, etc before my 47 birthday. Is there a section in Strava where I can set that as a customized goal? I want to be able to track my progress on Strava and brag about it.

Hello community, just wondering that wouldn't be more challenging if monthly challenges would be like beating your PB's like fastest mile, 10K or half marathon,etc... 

Ref this. I find that voice over volume and the way lady communicate needs to be improved.  I find of Nike very good. instead of every .5 kms it should be made available in. 25 kms wise also as it will help monitor pace. 

Hello, and welcome to Strava's Community Hub, we’re happy to have you here! If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, the days are getting shorter and the temperatures are starting to drop. It’s time to start getting ready for winter activities! If you’re looking for longer, warmer days, it’s time to head to the Southern Hemisphere where you can enjoy the late spring weather. November also brings many celebrations, events and holidays; check out some of them below… One of the biggest marathon races takes place in November; the New York City Marathon. If you’re in NYC on Sunday, Nov. 5, be sure to cheer on the runners as they make their way through all 5 boroughs to the finish line in Manhattan's Central Park. We also have some other posts on this year's NYC marathon; you can check them out here, here and here.  On Nov. 1st & 2nd, you can join many communities around the world that will be celebratingDía de los Muertos, a 2 day celebration that honors the lives of departe

Hello, community; I started running three years ago so far, I have three marathons under my belt. The complicated part of my runs is my type 1 diabetes and ensuring I do not drop too low or jump too high. What I would love to get is a CSV file of my runs detailing the time of day for each mile. I am able to export my glucose numbers for every 15-minute interval during the day. If I could compare those numbers with my strava activity data, I would know exactly which mile my numbers began to fall or rise. 

Hello,For the past 2 rides, I noticed that Strava data is not update on my PR times. A certain segment keeps showing my old PR even though I have beaten that PR twice in 2 days. I have tried refreshing segment data with no success. As you can see in screenshot, my new PR from today shows 1:11 but if you look at the “your PR” it shows my old PR of 1:35 It did this yesterday when I set a new PR of 1:20. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi all 👋 Killerton here, we're a National Trust property in Devon, UK. We're lucky to have thousands of hectares of green space, teeming with public footpaths, roads, and bridleways. We can see from Strava heatmaps that our space is being enjoyed by runners, walkers, and cyclers and we would love to hear about their relationship with nature and how we can improve our trails to support this. Has anyone used this platform to grow a community in this way? Any tips would be brilliant. Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava! In our previous chats, you've met some of our Team Members who work behind the scenes to keep Strava ticking. Today we'll introduce you to some of the four legged friends who work to help keep our Strava Team members motivated and happy - dogs! First up meet Gonzo:     He lives in Boulder, Colorado, and his favorite hobbies include backpacking, trail running, backcountry skiing, frisbee, and sniffing EVERYTHING.   Gonzo's favorite Strava features are route planning to find fun exciting new hikes and runs, matched activities for knowing how much off-trail smelling he did compared to his last outing, and gear tracking to make sure he replaces his dog booties when they're worn out. Fun fact about Gonzo - he's training with his human to be a Search and Rescue Dog in Colorado.  Good luck with your training Gonzo and Ian.   Next up, we present Ruca!&nb

Happy Tuesday! Let's start off with some did you know?...You may have heard that a group of wolves is a pack and a bunch of cattle is a herd; but did you know that  a 'group' of cats is a clowder? Yes, that's the correct word for a group of cats and we have quite the clowder of cats here at Strava! Let's start with Jiji (he/him):  Jiji is a 10 year old feline living in San Francisco, CA with one of our Engineers, Daniel. His favorite thing in the world is feeling warmth, whether that be from laying down in a sunbeam or being huddled up next to the radiator. If neither of those are available he loves to cuddle up on a lap or two. Being the runt of his litter, Jiji is on the smaller side and some medical issues have made it very difficult for him to put on weight, but he still loves to eat and will meow and meow until he gets his snacks. Jiji's human calls him 'the best work companion I could ever ask for.' Next we have Ruth (she/her) & Cooper (he/him): These are two of t
