Strava Features Chat

Waiting for over a week now. No response from Strava support. Unable to add myself to a Family Subscription plan. 

Hey friends! I own a club/group on Strava to keep track of my athletes runs, but recently the button to look at the activities of the group is gone and was replaced with “event insights”. I haven’t changed any settings for anything to be different and would just like some help so I can see the activities in my group again please.

I ride walk and play tennis all of which I am able to record on my strava. Why then is Tennis not listed in any of the challenges as an included sport?

Some of my rides for 2023 (starting in July) have been marked as ridden with a bike I didn't acquire until Christmas 2023 !Bike 'Vitus' shows about 1200 km for that year, and a total of 6,013 km for all time. The bike is an e-bike so I can also read the mileage from its computer : 4838 km.These rides in 2023 were allocated to my other bikes bikes  'Scotty' and ‘Galaxy’ at the time.I know that I can go back and edit these rides (there are 25 of them) but I’m wondering what is the point of registering a ride against a bike if it’s nott going to be stored correctly in the database.

I’m quite an experienced Strava user having done about 1200 bike rides over the last 7 years.  I’m aware of the feature that auto-excludes Efforts that are considered infeasible, however, up to now I have not knowingly been affected by it.  I just noticed that in an Activity in April 2024 the first 4 Segments in a ride had been auto-excluded.  I looked at an analysis of the data and it did indeed show an infeasible speed over a short section - from 14 mph to 42 mph and back to 14 mph in about 4 seconds.  This occurred between about 0.08 and 0.13 miles into the Activity (close to home !).  The first 2 Segments included this range and so were reasonably excluded.  However the 3rd Segment started at about 0.26 miles and the 4th Segment to be excluded didn’t start until about 0.57 miles, well beyond the very short GPS anomaly.  Hence I’m wondering why the auto-exclude algorithm would exclude all 4 of these Segments ?  Does it need some tuning to minimise unnecessary auto-flagging of “good”

Please provide a SORT OPTION for My Strava Segments. Having over 500 segments managing them is a nightmare, especially when Garmin limits the number to 100 (Garmin says it is Strava that is the problem here). Rather than indulging in AI gimmickry (that mainly describes the obvious and is therefore of little use), please sort out the (easy) basics first..

How can I delete / remove notifications.  I have 197 that won’t go away!  thanks,Barry

How long does it usually take for Strava support to respond?

 I don't understand why Strava continues to have points where it gets bad GPS data and suddenly jumps your location by a mile and then back to the correct position.   If I'm walking clearly this isn't possible. It seems it should be pretty easy to programmatically detect these outliers and remove them.

Hi everyone,I'm trying to improve my times on nearby segments using Strava Live Segments, but I’m struggling to get any real value from it in my region.This might be fine in flat areas or velodromes, but as most of the people, I ride in a 3D world. In my area, it’s impossible to go anywhere without climbing or descending: 150 meters of elevation gain and loss every 10 kilometers is just a normal ride. But the real issue isn't the hills themselves. Live Segments could still be useful on a long, steady climb or descent. The problem is the alternation between flat, climbing, and descending sections, which makes pacing truly important, and the feature almost useless.What I really want is to pace myself realistically against my own past efforts. I don’t care how others perform on the segment; I just want a real, effort-based comparison with my own ride history. I understand that Strava might not be able to show other’s pacing or strategy data due to intellectual property rights or privacy c

Map data is not showing properly. Even I have trouble shooted with so many ways still won’t works out.on the direct route if some cuts are coming, there is small drift in the corner of the road.In other tracking app’s it is working fine. Attached screen shot with so many drifts in the straight route 

I heavily use the Personal heat maps feature, specifically the Red and Blue colors because they were the most legible. However, after the recent Maps update, these colors have changed and now I find it much harder to see. Now it'sore like the other colors, which have always been hard to see. 

I’ve started seeing the ‘Plan your weekend ride’ carousel at the top of my feed. Does anyone know how to switch this off? It’s showing me rides that are miles away from my location. 

The Flyover thing is kinda nice, but as I play through  an activity the frame rate progressively degrades on my iPhone 15. On longer rides, it can drop as low as 1 frame per second. January 16th: UPDATE FROM STRAVAHello and thank you to everyone who posted here.We are aware of this issue and are currently investigating. I will post any updates here when they become available. Sorry for the issue and we ask for your patience while we work on getting it fixed.

There seems to be a bug with the weekly log whilst tracking strength exercises, when completing a strength exercise, it doesn't count towards weekly log.Although it shows a dot on the graph which is accurate, "current" still shows as 0, and "to go" still shows 2. Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place, I'm new here lolThanks

My relative efforts shoes the bar charts with all my activities but underneath in the details it only shows 5 instead of 7(if i ride every day) All my rides have a HR information from heart monitor. Any ideas why is this happening? Thanks

I am building a web-based calculator that helps athletes estimate how much time they need to complete a specific lap based on their previous activity data.I would like to ask: Is it allowed to access a user’s lap data from their Strava profile using the API, with their permission and proper authentication? Are there specific scopes or limitations I should be aware of when requesting lap-level data? Can this data be used to provide insights or time predictions back to the authenticated user, as part of my app?

Is it possible to disable everything goal related? It seems incessant lately. I signed up and pay for an app to record my activities. I couldn't care less about the screen wasting goal suggesting and constant artificial validation.

I completed a Bike and Run multisport activity using the apple fitness app. After uploading to Strava it is shown as one continuous activity. I know other smart watches upload as separate activities and would be nice if it was the same with apple fitness as you do not see any segments or average speed data for the individual sports and the transition is not accounted for either .  

Gostaria de solicitar que no strava tenha um parametro que eu consiga sincronizar as etapas dos meus treinos seja de corrida ou ciclismo .por exemplo em uma corrida no garmin onde monto meu treinovem as etapasaquecimentotirodescansocorrida levee tal….a solicitação seria que ao parametrizar e eu efetuar o treinamento no fim da atividade o strava colocasse as etapas feitas na descrição da minha atividade, com isso eu teria um controle melhor do que eu fiz no treino quando for analizar.vi que recentemente tentou ser feito isso mas teve alguns usuarios que vendem treino e planilha que nao gostaram, por isso sugiro que seja criado um parametro e quem quiser utilizar a ferramente que faça uso

Hi Strava community,I am pretty new to running, only starting in April of this year. I have made many silly mistakes so far, but the biggest (tracking wise) has been using the Run-GPS when using a treadmill. I did this for about 2 weeks before realizing the impact it had. I’d like these runs to not count towards my PBs/PRs but still be in my activity feed/overall totals. I have seen a few options from my searches such as flagging them, or changing them to ‘workouts’ instead of ‘runs’, but I’m concerned it would mess with my numbers. So, please let me know what would be the best course to keep my mileage and number of runs, but exclude these from my personal bests.Thanks so much!

Is there a way to turn off personal records, and suggested challenges, and all the other automatic junk I don’t care about in Strava? Yes, I get that all that is important to a lot of people. But I’m not trying to be a super athlete. All I care about is recording my track and heart rate.

I created a segment a couple weeks ago, and it has yet to populate with any efforts. https://www.strava.com/segments/39500810

Has anyone else run into this issue? It appears videos on run/bike activities (anything with a map) are showing up in feed as squares suddenly? If you click into the activity, you can still see the whole 9:16 video, but the preview in the feed seems to be cropping them to squares, which is really annoying.This was not the case a couple months ago. Not sure if the change is intentional or a bug. Thanks for the thoughts/help!Matt
