Equipment

Hello. Here´s an idea. When we edit activity, we should be able to alocate more than one equipment to the same activity. For example, if we change shoes during the activity, that feature would be very usefull for counting the distance for each shoes used.What do you think about it?

Why has Strava become so crappy?

Im giving up on this app, my feed is so full of strava notifications that i give up trying to find the posts i am interested in. Everything seems to be designed to encourage getting a subscription, mine stopped when the cost was secretly increased.Its sad really, this used to be a unique and useful app but there are better options out there now

High Mileage

Although I have not set a goal, are there any runners that might be interested in running and recording high mileage as a club/group on Strava, it can be a weekly, a monthly or a yearly total.

Create a New Segment

Hi.  I've just tried to create a new segment; the correct screen flashes up then disappears to a 'blank profile' sort of screen with no options.  I've created many segments in the past and this is the first time this problem has occurred.  Any ideas?  I'm on a Mac.

Segment Matching Sunday 3rd March

Hi,I submitted a support ticket yesterday evening about a segment not matching despite staying on course during the Garmin sync error. The algorithm said there was a deviation from the course at 35% despite staying on track at this stage. Could you please advise if a manual match can be made in this instance from the support ticket?Thanks a mill!

Tuesday Chat with Team Strava: Being Too Comfortable

Our whole life is set up in the path of least resistance. We don't want to suffer. We don't want to feel discomfort. So the whole time, we're living our lives in a very comfortable area. There's no growth in that. - David Goggins Hey Strava Family, thank you for tuning into this week’s Tuesday Chat with Strava.My name is Bryant and today I wanted to tap into the mental aspect of being Too Comfortable. At some point in our lives, we’ve been pushed to accomplish the extraordinary. During the process, we don’t always feel we’ll make it through to the end but somehow we accomplish our goal. The part of the story that often doesn’t get talked about is the after. After we accomplish our goal what tends to happen? We get Too Comfortable. Now don’t get me wrong, I completely understand your exhaustion after accomplishing a tremendous goal.  When I was 14, I ran my 1st Half Marathon event and I can tell you from experience once I crossed the finish line, the only thing I could think of was

Tuesday Chat with Team Strava: The Best Laid Plans - When Workouts go Awry

Most of us have been there.  In spite of our best attempts to organize and plan our fitness related life, things just sometimes don’t work out the way you expect. I surveyed some of my Strava Colleagues and asked them to share some of the more humorous anecdotes of when this happened to them.   Hope you enjoy! Skippy: When we first moved down here I needed to have an adjustment done on my hybrid bike. I took it to what I hoped would become my new local bike shop. They were fantastic and made my adjustment free of charge. I got home only to discover my pants were torn in the back and one cheek was exposed to the world. No wonder the guy helping was smiling and did the fix for free.    Tre:  I tried to go to the gym and my boss slacked me immediately saying she needed to get on a call within the next 15 minutes, proceeds to talk to me for 30, and my workout window closes. Mason: Tried mountain biking for the first time as a middle schooler on Easter day and I p

Run Training using Power Zone

Hello Everyone,   We all know and understand how to run using the following: Percieved Essertion Effort Pace Speed Heart Rate Zone And in most cases we use the above metrics in combination however, does anyone have any comprehensive content on how to train using power zone especially for runners. Yes there is a lot of content on power zones for cycling but as we all know you dont exactly use the same muscles when running v when cycling.    I am particularly interested in also know how power zones change  across gender and age the same way HR zones are calculated. And i want to understand how zone training impact energy in the body over time more esp when running 5KM, 10km, 21km and 42km.    Anyone with credible input and sources pmease feel free to share. If there are scientific papers please share and lastly what is your experience training via power zones and which product do you use to measure such ?
