Pro & Friends filter in activity

This idea is to add a easy filter what to show - regular users or pros. I’d like to follow some of the pro riders but usually thier activities flood entire board.

Indoor swimming times calculating overall time instead of moving time

Dear Strava, It’s really frustrating that Strava calculates average pace based on overall time instead of moving time. This issue discourages users from uploading their activities because it makes the pace look slower than it actually is. When I sync my Polar device “Polar vantage V3” with Strava, it includes the entire session’s time, including rest breaks, which skews the pace calculation and makes it inaccurate.It would be really great if there would a fix for this or workaround so users can track even their swimming activities accurately on Strava. And something to keep in mind for the future, what could really elevate the Strava experience for swimming users, is creating achivments, trophies etc… Like Best/fastest 100m 400m 1000m | I don’t see behind the scenes of this, but perhaps it wouldn’t be complicated to impliment such a feature compared to fixing the issue of inaccurate timing.

sick days

Make an option to log “sick days” as activity to have the complete overview of trainings and health complications not allowing to train in the calendar.

Ability to Duplicate Manual Activity

My weightlifting routines are cyclic, often times repeating the same lifts every 4 days. It would be very nice to simply click a "Duplicate Workout" button and then customize the details (weight, date, time, etc). A search of the board indicates I'm not alone.

Advanceb Settings

Hello. I’d like to give some feedback on the last update.can I just say that it is super annoying that I need to go into advanced settings if I want to change the bike that my activity uses for the post? that used to be prominent on the activity screen and now a user has to drill down further, which is super annoying. I wish you would go back to the way it was.  a lot of people have multiple bikes, or ride zwift, or a peloton. so it would be appreciated if you could make the bike selection more convenient again, thanks Mark Strauss

Weightlifting/Max Lift Recording

Just as runners and cyclists can record and see trends in their run times lifters should be able to record PR’s in lifts. When logging a weightlifting workout there should be a PR section for common lifts (Bench, Deadlift, Squat) and leaderboards where your weight lifted is put on a leaderboard for your weight class. Max lifts would require an uploaded video showing the lift and if enough people in the community say it was a bad lift it doesn’t count.

Manually add miles to shoes

As buying used shoes is a common thing for hobby joggers, being able to add shoes and manually input miles on them from the previous owner without logging an activity would be quite useful.

Snowboard/Ski Runs

Strava should differentiate between runs up on the lifts and runs down on your board or skis. Here is a good example from the Slopes app that I’ve used for almost a decade. Then you can split out average downhill speed instead of counting time/speed spent riding the lifts.

Adding other sports gear (beyond shoes & bikes)

Hi,I have thoroughly enjoyed the possibility to associate a default gear to a particular sport. However, the gear options are limited to shoes & bikes, if I am not mistaken.As a tennis player, I would love to be able to add rackets, even balls & stings too. I suppose this feature would be useful for the numerous other racket sports (Badminton, TT, Pickleball, etc...) In fact, even for shoes, I would love to be able to associate my tennis activities to a specific shoe (like a clay court, or a hard court shoe) and track the mileage of these gears/products… Would it be possible to add these features in the future ? Thanks,Best

Alpine Skiing - No uphill efforts/segments

I did some alpine skiing this year. And earned some uphill segments PRs, while doing gondola. Which is not the way it should be. In addition, those uphill sections even count to total distance, elevation and to your effort which is not correct.Example: https://www.strava.com/activities/13445431482Apps like TrainerRoad (that use logged activities from strava to calculate a training plan) do get totally confused after alpine skiing days. My assumption is, they take the uphill segments as effort done.Could be improved if strava provides a feature “Ignore Uphill efforts in this activity”. Activating that, removes uphill efforts from this activity stats (total, segements,..).This could be helpful for alpine skiing a as well as for downhill biking.

Missing words in description of activity

From every sentence where I used an emoticon, it disappeared. And the word before the emoticon disappeared as well. Does anyone have the same problem? It never happened to me.Aldo some other activities from my friends have the same problem.

Edit historic Training Impulse records that skew Fitness & Freshness

For about 50% of my activities (running & cycling) I rely on wrist-based HR (Polar) - the other 50% are chest or arm strap. In cold weather the wrist-based measurement is way off, typically 1.5 times actual heart rate, this gives a crazy high Relative Effort, if I catch these early then I override the HR reading with Perceived Exertion and all is fine. If I fail to correct, then the Training Impulse is also crazy high and this completely screws up the Fitness & Freshness to a point where it is meaningless.Two questions.How long after an activity is recorded is the Training Impulse calculated and the Fitness & Freshness graph updated? ie. how much time do I have to correct the erroneous HR?Is it possible to correct historic Training Impulse readings? I have a couple from several months ago that give large step-changes in Fitness graph (and are completely wrong).Thanks.

subscription renewal issue

I raised a support ticket on the 9 Jan (Request #3185238) but I’ve not received a response.Apple took two payments for my renewal. I contacted them directly and they refunded one of the payments. Since then my strava account hasn’t been subscribed and “restore purchases” hasn’t resolved the issue. I’m use to using the subscribed features. It’s frustrating that the payment was taken on the 3 Jan but I’ve not had access to the subscribed features. How can I get help with this?

Lost Access to new account

I have not been able to access my month-old account. I was uploading some .fit files today and logged me out and I haven’t been able to log back in. It shows the following message on the app and on the PC it just says “please try again later”. I’m not sure what to do...password reset didn’t work and support seems to be taking longer to respond. Thanks for any help.

Problems creating posts on personal profile or in groups

Every post I try to make in groups or on my personal profile (I'm selling my bike) gets the error: "Sorry, this is still in red.The page you're looking for doesn't exist, but you still have some options."I don't know what to do. I've tried using lower resolution images, reducing the text, and avoiding putting my personal number in the ad, but none of that solves my problem.Before this error occurred, I was able to post in 3 groups, but then the error started to appear.

Link your segment result to your bike

As I am getting older I change my cycling style and speed and last year I bought an endurance bike after my race bike. Obvious my speed on segments is lower now and I get a kind of frustrated that despite a good result my 2013-2017 results when I was really racing are always in my top results. Would it be possible to link segment result also to your bike - it would not affect those going for KOM but it would give me more satisfaction.

Activity ended automatically in 10 minutes

Goodnight.I have Strava installed on my Galaxy Watch 6. I use the Weight Training activity, however, every time the activity reaches 10:00, the activity ends automatically, and ends up not saving the record.Note: The smartwatch is up to date.I've factory reset it several times,I've reinstalled it several times, but the problem persists. Do you know what it could be?Thanks

Maps route creation glitches

Overall I really like having the maps route creation feature. It is much easier to create routes than using Google maps, since it smoothly connects the dots over much longer distances, sticking to roads and paths. Much much quicker to create a route. But there are some glitches …First, the distances are often long by as much as 5% … I don’t know how you are determining those distances, but they never match what I get on my run with my Garmin. Google maps is more accurate in that regard.Second, some of the decisions when connecting the dots are wonky. This is especially true if the option to follow most popular is selected. And since that’s the default, that’s what you get unless you change it. The routes are almost useless in this mode.Check out some of these route decisions:What I expected is marked in green. And I’m sure that more people walk or run on the main road that it chose. But backtracking like that makes absolutely no sense. There should be some limit to how much longer a po
