Strava Features Chat

Anyone else having problems with route planning?  Since last week, creating running routes has been problematic, with routes diverting off from roads even when 'follow most direct' is selected.  It's making route planning a pain, wondered if it's a known issue for others?

My understanding for segments is that you have to ride the segment yourself and use only your GPS track to create the segment.  Due to multiple variations in GPS tracking devices, it would be nice to be able to edit the track to reflect the majority of users route, or to accurately match an existing trail.   I'm a trail builder as well as an administrator for adding trails in certain regions and would like to be able to create the segment as close to the trail as possible and not be dependent on my single GPS tracking as it is often off.  To this effect I would also like to be able to create segments on trails similar to creating a Route without actually using a recorded GPS track.  I would assume with the STrava database of Topography and mapping that it should be able to give an accurate reflection of elevation changes, etc. Secondly, it would be nice to be able to show a listing of all segments in a given area in tabular format and exportable

While Strava is at it might as well make it so we can mark on an activity if something was a PR, the time, and the distance. The automatic records are nice but they are usually wrong since GPS watches aren’t always accurate.

Hi, the mobile app used to have the functionality when viewing media (either mine or another athlete) to go straight to the activity. For example, you see they've taken a picture at the top of a famous climb so I'd like to view the activity to see the route, comments, etc. This is no longer available but I just noticed today that it is available on the website. Why is this not available on the app? I imagine most users use the app now rather than the website so this seems a strange change. Maybe unintentional? Thanks, Steve.

I ran a PR on the 5k today.On the activity itself, it says 5k PR 24:00...On the All Time section under profile it says 23:59 from the same activity.Why the difference?

It seems a recent change for user profiles (web version) was made in which data under "side by side comparison" is hidden when the user being viewed hasn't uploaded an activity for a few months. (I'm not sure what the exact timeframe is.) It's this way even for people I'm following. I wonder if someone could enlighten us as to why this was done, or if it was inadvertent, can it be corrected? (Or is it in their settings and I just don't know what I'm talking about?)

I am doing bike training on an ergometer and recording it with my Garmin. Obviously no distance is recorded. The activity itself with time and heart rate is in Strava but without the distance which is anoying as those 1000 km this year I did in the gym are not visible. Why can’t I manually enter the distance as it is possible in Garmin Connect?

On rides, would it be possible to add a graph indicating average moving speed over time/distance?The reason for this request is that I’d like to see (say) that my average moving speed changed over the course of a ride.  For example, plodding along at 15 miles per hour for each of the first 3 hours and then hitting the wall and dropping to 5 miles per hour in the last 10 miles.

I started encountering a problem yesterday, where, using the Strava web interface, I’m unable to open a segment page by tapping on that segment in the overview. It gives me the correct segments and accurate data, but will not open up the webpage or provide the top 10 list. It just starts spinning wheels where that supposed to be. Any ideas?

Hi there, has anyone else noticed the monthly comparison graph has disappeared and how do I get it back?

Hi Strava community,I am new to the community chat but I wanted to share with you my story of how Strava Beacon saved my life on March 1st of this year.I took off for an after work solo fat bike ride on the Meadow Mountain trail in Garrett County MD, around 3PM on Wednesday, March 1st. You see, this is a trail that I normally ride 3 or 4 times every winter on the snowmobile packed surface. The trail is around 20 miles out and back with around 2,300' of climbing.That day the temps soared into the 60's and no snow was to be found on the trail. As I left my car at the north trailhead I turned on my Strava Beacon as I do every ride faithfully. The text of my life went out to my loving wife of 35 years Shawna as normal. Somewhere on a descent at mile 19 I lost control and crashed head first. Long story short, Shawna and my 23 year old daughter Natalie had gone for an afternoon walk at Deep Creek State Park that day when she got the text. Soon after my wife noticed

Anyone else noticing that the number of achievements noted at the top of a ride (summary) is often different from that noted in the segment section?? What’s up w that. Used to always match. Have only seen this in the past year.  

Trophies are displayed quite prominently in the Desktop and Mobile profile pages. On desktop, Trophies are shown above almost everything else, even above the weekly chart, or recent activities and photos.Personally, I join challenges but the resulting trophies have no meaning to me after the challenge is over. My profile page on the mobile app tells me I have 632 trophies so... yay?Is it just me, or is this just a waste of space on the profile tab/page? Curious to hear alternative perspectives.

I've recently moved to the next age category on Strava.Since my birthday, none of my rides show me as being in the new category.  I can see my previous rides in the earlier category but when I look in the new category, instead of giving me a position on the "leaderboard" it shows a bland, such as   -/ 345Any suggestions?

Hafa Adai from Guam!  Looking for some help.  We have a goal of hosting a virtual 100 mi run spanning 1 month.  The virtual 100 is the sum total of all miles/segments completed during the month. What is the best way to track this for all members with Strava?  Simply using the Clubs leaderboard?  Or, can an event be configured to span 30 days?  I only see that events are for a single day...   Appreciate your help in advance!

Does anyone know how to get rid of this 'Getting Started' section at the top of the app..? I have completed 3 or the 4 steps (and don't want to subscribe to Strava). Any help please?

I love Smartwool and was excited to complete this challenge, thanks Strava!https://www.strava.com/challenges/3745?%24deep_link=true&%243p=e_it&_branch_match_id=1179876735051322246&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAAy2M4QrCMAyEn6b%2BbGGpCMIQQXyNEmZYi7ELbWZf3wyE%2B3F33HdZVfo1hK4Nv%2BhRxHOp7wByc1MEmSkVPZndWllLRU574zkflIO7m56mMYb%2F88v2sWLJyEx1pW4BLvHswHbxRSTpeHfw0LbTDzBUuOh8AAAAAnyone successfully been able to redeem their credit? Link to redeem credit refers to a prior challenge (offering $50) but with no way to confirm the email used on Strava.Ended up in an infinite loop with Smartwool

I have seen a group with leaderboard at bottom, https://www.strava.com/clubs/alzheimerssocietyhow can i put my club leaderboard at bottom to show my posts on top??

In the aftermath of a group activity with people not on my feed I enjoy seeing that little title text they have set, if they did not just keep the default. That's often an indication of which activities to take a closer look at (pictures!), and the primary outlet of user creativity in Strava. Also, seeing those titles is a good indication of which peers to eventually follow because they put in effort to make their feed entertaining.This feature exists in the browser implementation, so it can't be a privacy consideration. But it's missing in the android app (and I imagine that it used to exist in an older version of the app). Currently the layout of the "manage group" dialog pullup reserves a line of screen space fo the location set in the profile (often empty), but that's not half as interesting as the title text.

One of my reference is unable to signup, has tried multiple times from different web browsers

So my feed is peppered with unsolicited check out this run you did 3 yrs ago / 5 yrs ago etcstrava say you can’t turn it off. I got injured 3 yrs ago have had several surgeries and can no longer walk further than about 3 miles never mind run. I can cycle though so I still use Strava. It’s just so distressing to be constantly reminded of the thing that I love that I CANNOT do and I have no way of turning it off. Ridiculous. 

I was just viewing my heat-map and saw a 'heat line' in an area that I didn't recall ever running there. I tried clicking the 'heat line' to see if it would take me to the activity(ies) that I had run there - it didn't.So, I'm thinking this could be a handy feature, anyone agree?

I created a challenge for my cross country team it is scheduled to start in 2 weeks. I was able to see it under my joined challenges when I made it but now am unable to fine it. where did it go?  😍

Hi,I was reviewing my fitness score and noticed it is not considering my outdoor rides, only those done indoors on Zwift.This affecting my score for the worse.I experimented with the drop downs but couldn't find any settings to fix the issue. Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance

I would like to know why I can not listen audio notification by KM run, since I use a new Samsung phone.
