hello, i am running a club and have just discovered that the leaders this week have logged in distances that are too long to be true (for example, 50km in 6000 steps). Strangely the activities were not flagged automatically. How do I resolve this issue?

Quiero que se corrija el nombre de una localidad que está mal escrito en el mapa de Strava, como puedo sugerirlo al soporte técnicos de Strava? TRANSLATION: I want the name of a location that is misspelled on the Strava map to be corrected, how can I suggest it to Strava technical support?

Hi I'm Adam. I have been a Strava user forever but only recently became a paying member. I am happy to join the community for my first chat. I am turning 72 years old on Saturday and have been actively cycling for the last 16 years. I am overweight and not very good at cycling and really hate going uphill! I have participated in many road races - and question my sanity every time I do - but always come back for more. This is my first time talking to anyone about my cycling on this forum.  

I have a query. I have been using Zwift to get fit for mots of this year and I must say Strava does an excellent job of keeping tabs on my activity. However on Saturday I did a road route recorded on my Garmin bike computer. It is uploaded on Strava but does not appear in my activities calendar. Can someone tell me why that is? I would appreciate it as the route was quite strenuous and I wouldn't like the effort to go to waste? 

Hello guys, I just broke my 5 kilometre record but STRAVA doesn't recognize it, yet it recognizes 1 mile, 2 miles and 1km... I don't understand why, there is no private/hidden zone on the course and I tried to refresh the data but without success... Can someone help me on this? Thank you so much.This is the run : PR 5K 🥇 | Course à pied | Strava

Hello All,I am new on Strava and, of course, also new in the community.About myself: I'm belgian, living in Belgium and today I'm mainly biking (VTTAE) in the summer and skiing (one or two weeks per saeson) in winter.I turned 63 not long ago and, even if I did a lot of sports earlier, I consider that it is not important any more to do high level performance! 😉 😉SO, I'm just going out when the weather is nice and have fun with a friend or two riding through our marvelous Ardennes.I came to Strava because TomTom is ending its application and I want to keep following my activities.Not that I'm such an athlete, but it's always good to see the eventual progress (or not) through the season.I hope I will find here what I'm looking for and that this application will last for a long time.If I may, I already have a question: I tried to imort my files from TomTom, but only 15 have been taken... I tried to import severa

Hello Everyone - Scout and Jane here; welcome to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava! We’re excited to chat about the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. This month-long event will begin on July 20 and will be jointly hosted by Australia & New Zealand.While putting this post together we noticed something interesting - the highest ranked women’s teams are in countries where the men’s teams don’t do well! Take a look below and you'll see what we mean.... The United States Women’s Team is ranked #1 in the world (and is the defending World Cup champions), while the men’s team generally isn’t in the top 10 (currently 11th, average 20th).

Hello everyone, newbie here.Question - is there a way on the Strava app to record how much of your run was walking? For example, you do a 5 km run but stopped a few times to walk, is there a way to see how much walking you did versus running? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,First of all, thanks for this great initiative to listen to feedback from your users 🙂 I was taught in a previous company that "feedback is a gift" and I know its importance as a Product Manager myself 😉 😉 Some various feedback from our group experience: We are a cycling "club" in Paris. There's nothing formal about this club, the original members met during covid lockdown rides in Montmartre and it grew from there. We revolve around a Strava private group and a WhatsApp group chat.Even though we are a private group, we tend to accept most people trying to join.That's why we have 170+ members on Strava for only 50 people in the WhatsApp group (the active members). I'd guess a lot of people have never joined a group ride. As a group admin, I'd be curious to know, for each m

Anyone think taking photos while biking with your phone is dangerous? I’m a camera guru and passionate about most forms of biking. I love taking cool photos and posting them to my Strava activity log. But I find phone cameras and other sports cameras on the market to be either dangerous, not cool, or uncomfortable. Anyone have input on this topic?

I’m wondering if there is an etiquette surrounding the Flagging of rides.I’ve had to flag a heap of rides that took my prized KOM, over the past few months, which were clearly done when the bike was put in a car after an MTB ride with Strava still recording.last night there was another ride that looked legitimate till I saw there was no Power or Heart rate data on the last few segments…. (Road bike put in the car)I put a message on his ride to congratulate him on the ride and also ask him to crop out the bit in the car (that took my KOM)to my surprise, he came back very quickly and said he was trying to work out how to do this and finally sorted it…. KOM restored 🙌Is this the way I should be dealing with this? As opposed to just flagging the rides??

Earlier this year, I won the KOM on a segment that I've been working really hard at for over 4 years. I am constantly having to flag rides where the other athletes are using the MTB trails, up the road and putting their bike in the car, forgetting to turn Strava off, then diving home (Taking every KOM along the way).I now have a guy who has just uploaded a historical ride from 2015! where it looks like he has recorded a run but set the app to a bike ride, then driven quite a long way home, taking lots of course records. But! his account is set to "Private", and I cannot look at it on the PC to flag it. The strange thing is I can see it on my phone, but, I can't Flag it from there. What do I do now?

With the Crossfit Games gearing up this week, what's a better time to dive into the sport than now? Crossfit is a strength and conditioning workout that is made up of functional movement performed at a high intensity level. Many workouts feature variations of squats, push-ups, and weight lifting that last for predetermined amounts of time to help build muscles. CrossFit Journal states that the workouts are so effective because of their emphasis on the elements of load, distance and speed, which help participants develop high levels of power.  Starting in the late 90s, Greg Glassman is credited with founding the sport. At the time, he was hired to train the local police department. Using his background of gymnastics and bodyweight exercises, Glassman used high intensity work

Hello and welcome back to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava.  Strava integrates with a wide range of devices and platforms.  Today we're going to talk about the Polar/Strava integration, explain how it works, and share the answers to some commonly asked questions.   Polar makes a number of GPS watches and cycling computers, and you can also record activities with the Polar Flow App which is available on Android and iOS. To sync your Polar record

I just got a walking treadmill and I use strava on my Apple watch to track my activities, choosing Indoor Run. I like it because I feel it's more accurate than the regular watch exercise app native to the watch. However, I don't need my followers seeing every time I walk on my treadmill for an hour, sometimes twice a day. Right now I have to go in and manually change the setting to Show: Only Me. It would be nice to we could set certain activities to default to Only Me. I think others that track their daily walking commute would probably like the same functionality.
