Does Strava primarily focus on running and cycling?

I love to stay active and enjoy a range of outdoor activities like golf, walking, running, and hiking. However, I've noticed that most of the fitness platforms are more focused on running when it comes to tracking my progress. For example, even though I've covered almost 300km of hiking, the platform only displays my 80km of runs. I'm wondering if there's a way to get a more accurate representation of my overall fitness activities on these platforms. Do you have any suggestions or insights on how to manage this?

(RESOLVED) Not recording moving time correctly for Android version 331.9 & 332.10

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?

2500 miles before November 14, 2024

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.

Challenge

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...

Voice over in Strava Apps

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.

Type 1 diabetes numbers side by side with strava activity data

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.

Bug Report

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.

Running for Nature

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!

Tuesday Chat with Team Strava - Dogs of Strava

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

Tuesday Chat with Team Strava - Cats of Strava: Part I

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

Countdown to the 2023 New York City Marathon

On Sunday, November 5th over 50,000 runners from over 150 countries, 12,000 volunteers and over 2.5 million spectators will come together in New York City for the 52nd running of the NYC Marathon. Started in 1970 with 127 runners (55 finished), the course consisted of over 4 laps around Manhattan’s Central Park. The race course was updated to cover all 5 boroughs of NYC in 1976. The race begins in my hometown of Staten Island but runners won’t be there for long; within minutes of the start they’ll head over the first of five bridges, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, that will take them into Brooklyn to cover miles 3-12. Hitting the halfway mark in Queens participants will cover miles 13-15 before heading into Manhattan for miles 16-18. To finish the race, runners will take a quick trip into The Bronx for miles 19-20 and then back into Manhattan where they will cross the finish line in Central Park. You can view and save the route here and check out the TCS New York City Marathon Clu

No response from Strava support to my msgs or emails

I have a problem when logging into my account from my PC to the strava website. I see not info under Activities or routes or anything else. It works fine using my mobile app. I have tried to contact strava support. I have msged them and emailed and have raised tickets. They say they will get back to me right away but Ive had no response whatsoever. There appears to be no other way to make contact like a phone number. If this persists I will have to cancel my membership which is a shame. Looking online this seems to be a recurring issue. Its disappointing. Does anyone know of a phone number i can use or a better way?

List of new features in Strava

Is there a place where you can see new features being released in Strava?  With the new price increase, I would like to know what new features are being added to know if it continues to be worth the cost.   I do not see a place for release notes or anything like that.

Meet Strava Employees training for the New York City Marathon; Nov 5, 2023

Is anyone else excited about the NYC Marathon coming up on Nov 5?  I know I am. More than 50,000 runners will descend on the starting line in Staten Island and pass through all 5 boroughs before finishing the race in Manhattan's Central Park. I caught up with 7 of my Strava colleagues who are running in tis year's race.  Kurt, Sarah, Grace, Brandon, Katie, Tom and Rosana all agreed to answer a few questions I had.  Here's what they had to say:   Lots of excitement about Manhattan but  also shout outs to Staten Island and Brooklyn.  I'm sure the "What's a borough" people will figure that out on race day. That cucumber mint must be terrible. My personal choice would definitely be banana. 57% chose "I can do hard things".  I think that's a testament to the fact that marathon training is hard.  Glad to see I'm not the only one concerned about zombies. Almost half chose Suggested Routes and Goal Setting was also popular.  These are bot
