I have a  Strava subscription but for the last 6 months my fitness score has not been updating?

Hey @mclaugl,

A common reason Fitness and Freshness is not reflected correctly is because the activities in question do not have any Relative Effort score or Power data associated with them. Power data is available for bicycling activities and should be calculated from a Power Meter. At this time, estimated power will not be considered for your Fitness & Freshness score.

You can earn a Relative Effort score on your activity by including heart rate data or a Perceived Exertion on your efforts. Unfortunately, there is no way to retroactively add heart rate data to uploaded activities but you can add a Perceived Exertion at any time by visiting the individual activity page.
