Just got back from a bike ride. And looking at the figures. While I was out I stopped and checked my phone. I did some more miles and stopped again for water. Checked my phone and noticed it was on auto pause. The map moved to where I was when looking. I then clicked un pause and when off again. I checked my phone again and it was on auto pause, I had done more miles and the map moved again to where I was.  It only says I have done 11 miles when I know I have cycled more miles! Is there a way I can change this? 

When I land on the Strava site, I get prompted to “Sign in with Google”.Is this prompt intentionally being thrown by Strava? Or is it somehow something that Google does because Strava is using some Google APIs or code?And in either case, is there a way for me to disable it? I’m sick of seeing it.Thanks,Tim

Hello,I was creating events for our team, but afterwards, I didn’t receive any information. How can I ensure that there is a report and analysis after each event? Also how to create a group challenge?Additionally, I want to award electronic prizes for each run. Can anyone suggest how this can be done?Thanks everyone

It is very nice to see all the segments in the map when you go fast, within top 3, but I found it much easier and better before to tap on the map and see a list of all segments I went trough in the run/ cycle. You can’t see it easily now, have to click one by one now. Before you could easily see it by clicking on it and the map would zoom in. Can we introduce something similar? It is not very user friendly the way it is now. 

Hi.For some time now the gallery has not had descriptions and timestamps.To read the description, you have to go to the photo preview, but then scrolling through photos does not work!Of course, it was easier to scroll down through photos, which was natural.Now it is unusable :(.

Horseback riding should be added to the Strava app. Using the mountain bike option isn’t as accurate. Same muscle groups, but there’s no way I burned less calories giving my all in a horse polo tournament, than doddling around normal club chukker nights 😂

I would like to see my effort on a specific climb on a Tacx ride. Unfortunately there are no segments on this ride. When I try to create s segment I get "Something went wrong" also if I make it private. Anybody got a good solution around this problem? Cheers Mikael 

Bonjour, Je trouverais ça interessant de pouvoir partager ma carte d’activité personnelle avec mes amis pour voir quelles routes j’ai pu utiliser. Je me doute que cela pose certains pb de confidentialité mais qd même !Translation:Hello,I would find it interesting to be able to share my personal activity map with my friends to see which roads I have been able to use. I suspect that this poses some privacy issues but still!

Display Surface Type when viewing saved routes. This is displayed in the route Edit screen but not when viewing saved routes. Other services already do this and it is super helpful and just makes sense. Especially since the data is already available. 

At Strava Multi-Sport Clubs, weekly stats reporting groups all activities together.  Please can we change this so that leaderboards on multi-sport clubs are set up to show separate reporting for running, cycling, walking, swimming and workouts etc? At the #RCUCRC (www.strava.com/clubs/rcucrc), we are a running club, but with many members who Run, Bike, Swim & Workout and we have had feedback to make changes which we cannot do as yet.  Please help? Thank you.

No option for adding any Martial Arts sports. Please can this be added

Hi if I record a snowboard activity on my Apple Watch it shows number of runs, maps heart rate etc when I upload to Strava it says 0 distance 0 elevation and none of the map data syncs. If I change to cycle as an activity it gives distance and elevation. Why is this? The data is clearly there but not being brought into Strava. 

This community hub is a great way to generate ideas and have interested users comment on them.  I believe the community base is limited in number and not representative of the broader strava community.  For example, many great ideas were proposed and closed due to lack of attention in a sufficient window of time.  I would be interested in how many active community members regularly review the ideas and believe this is a difficult task.  I would think many of the fantastic ideas here would address issues/improvements that many strava users encounter and think there could be a way to pose these vetted fantastic ideas to the larger community, possibly by activity type.  If a user is a subscriber, active road rider, and 5-10 fantastic ideas for road riders pop up, it might be nice for a sub-set of this user group to review and vote on them.  For example, as a cyclist, I find it challenging to wade through many other sport comments, though while interesting, would make being an activity com

Today under  following tab the activities of those athletes are no longer listed by recent date. The dates are completely random making it almost impossible to acknowledge their efforts with kudos. Many of them participate in multiple activities per day and I've been scrolling endlessly to find everyone.It was working fine over the weekend!!  1st qnd 2nd  May 2025 and now just SHIT!! 

Hi,I’ll be in London for work, and I need to do a training run on one of the days I’m there; I created this map. https://www.strava.com/routes/3327988429394644784Basically, I’m on Poland Street, and I want to go around the parks to make it more interesting. This will be a 7 am run before the shops open. But I’m wondering if going down Oxford Street on the way back is the best option.Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!Cheers

Hola, buen díaTengo un problema con el reporte de actividades, no recibo el correo para poder descargarlo y he verificado el correo registrado y es el correcto.Alguien me puede ayudarGracias! Hello, good dayI have a problem with the activity report, I don't receive the email to download it and I have verified the registered email and it is correct.Can someone help me?Thank you!

Lately, the Strava app on my iphone 14 has become unusable on longer runs and tours. After 2 hours, my battery went from 90% to 25%. Comparably, on OnX Backcountry, my battery only goes down 5-10% after 2 hours. On other tracking and map apps, you can set the GPS update and recording intervals, such as 10 seconds or 10 meters. On Strava, there are no such options and it seems to update constantly. Accuracy is nice, but it would be nicer to use strava for longer trips!

Hi,I started using the app, and got a G2R Multi watch. In his application (Mwatch) it is possible to share my physical activities with STRAVA, but when sharing and allowing the sharing of data appears ERROR 403 in the strava app, saying that this application has already exceeded the number of connected athletes.  How do I solve that? i would love to sync the apps. 

I’m trying to join a family plan, but I keep getting a message saying, “You must live in the same country to join their family plan.” My country is set to the UK in my settings, but when I try to join the plan, the price shows in dollars ($) instead of pounds (£).I contacted Strava support almost a week ago, but I haven’t heard back yet. Can anyone please help me fix this?Thank you

My account it attached to an email I do not have access to anymore.   I want to change it but the request goes to the old email?…  I have a ticket and am wondering how long it takes to get a response.   Just read another person who had the same issue and one thing mentioned is they would reach out on email if more information is needed.   That won’t work if they request to the old email??  Any suggestions or can someone let me know how long it typically takes before there is a response?   Thanks.Joe

please add athlete limit, so i can also connect my smartwatch to strava👍

 Hello everyone,I am currently busy with indoor training on my Tacx. Both for better condition but certainly also to greatly improve my FTP and VO2max.For example, I have done a Tabatata interval training almost every week in the past few weeks. First a good warm-up followed by 3x 9 sessions of 20 seconds >500W, 10 seconds rest and then 10 minutes of easy cycling. At the end I added 2 "intervals" of around my FTP (339W/ 2,83W/kg).This is also clearly visible in my graphs on the Strava website and on Garmin Connect (sorry). If I look at the same training in my Strava App, it does not correspond to reality at all. I am missing the 2nd interval session here. I do see a small increase but not as the others are displayed.The graphs of my heart rate/speed and cadence do correspond to each other.Known problem/ bug?  

Not everyone is doing yoga. Some of us, however, focus on mobility and flexibility daily.

I would like the option to mark sections of roads and specify surface type and personal notes of interest (ex. “muddy passage”, “avoid when raining”, “Fast cat. 1 gravel”, “very scenic view”) to help with route planning. These could offcourse be open for sharing too.After years of riding and mapping your local area it becomes very difficult to keep track of these things, and if I wanted to plan a fast, smooth gravel ride with some scenic views, it would be great to be able to have your own previous experiences as help.When it comes to surface types I know Strava suggests contributing data to the OSM, but this is a very slow and imprecise way of adressing this. I have literally hundreds of road sections around here where the surface type-feature is of limited help, even if correct, and I have to rely solely on memory for surface type and possible obstacles. I imagine this would be a way to build a very, very powerful route planner. As for the moment I am using private segments for this,

Would love to see a calendar view of all club invites.  What’s on tap for this week - look at calendar view and see all of the runs/rides that are scheduled for the week from the various clubs you belong to.  Currently you have to click on each club individually to see what is happening with each club.
