Strava Features Chat

I used to be able to see my average pace for the whole run during the run. Now it only shows me average pace for the current split, which is pretty useless for a longer run when I want to make sure I’m on target for my goal. I used to be able to check every km or so and make sure I was on track for my target pace, now there is no such way to stay on schedule. It used to be that it would switch to average split pace during a subscription, but now it’s there all the time. Please can we have a toggle to switch between? Or a solution!

https://www.strava.com/activities/15245714340/segments/39728736/potential-segment-matches I ran a route I run often, just an out and back up a hill. I created a new 1km segment for the bottom of the hill from my activity. It’s fairly straight and simple. My activity is only a partial match of the segment, with no other info given.The segment starts a little ways up the trail from the road where I start, and each lap I ran well past the end of the segment.How can an activity not match the segment when the segment was created FROM that activity gps data? Thanks for any insight! I searched but haven’t come across this issue yet. There were many other matches and a full leader board but not the activity it was made from.

Ich habe gestern über Garmin eine Aktivität aufgezeichnet. Diese wurde von Garmin unter einem falschen Datum (eine Woche vorher) gespeichert und entsprechend falsch mit Strava synchronisiert. Bei Garmin kann ich das Datum nachträglich ändern - aber weder wird die Änderung mit Strava synchronisiert, noch lässt sie sich in der App oder Strava.com manuell ändern. Wie könnte man das korrigieren?Translation: I recorded an activity yesterday with Garmin. Garmin saved it under the wrong date (a week ago) and synced it incorrectly with Strava. I can change the date with Garmin afterward, but the change isn't synced with Strava, nor can I manually change it in the app or Strava.com. How can I fix this?

After pressing record but before pressing start, there was a gear icon to change settings like audio cues and auto pause - after the latest update it has completely disappeared for me? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the iOS app to no avail.

I filed a refund ticket after I was charged for an annual plan following the end of my free subscription. According to the guidelines, I was instructed to cancel the subscription (which I did) and provide proof of the charge, stating that I’m eligible for a refund within 14 days of purchase.It has now been a week since I submitted the ticket, but I’ve received no response from Strava’s customer service. They have also not replied to my follow-up emails.Do you know how I can persuade them to issue my refund?

I have had a huge problem in the last couple of days. I presume there was a Strava app update for iOS. It wiped out the top menu area that used to exist where, after I hit the “Record” button, but before I hit “Start”, I could set preferences, including screen dimming etc., before starting a workout. There used to be at the upper right corner a “gear” preferences icon. Instead, there is empty space at the top. All the controls that used to be on top are gone. So the last settings I have are frozen and I can’t change them. And I can’t even exit the screen after I hit “Record”, if I change my mind: I have to quit the app.

Hello, New to the Community and Subscribed services here. I have enjoyed using Strava for several years now. I have a concern as it has come to my attention that someone in my area is competing for women’s leaderboard results and has recently identified as a female.  He/she was on a collegiate MTB male racing team before coming to this area.  The women here are at a disadvantage and this situation has lessened the enjoyment of segmental competition among the women (gender at birth) who ride and compete on the same segments.  Thoughts?

Gosto muito do aplicativo, uso com frequência e ele realmente motiva a manter uma rotina ativa.Porém, como tudo pode evoluir, acho que já passou da hora de incluir uma opção específica para “corrida na areia da praia”.É um tipo de terreno muito comum para muitos corredores, principalmente no Brasil, e faz diferença tanto no desempenho quanto na análise do treino.Fica a sugestão com carinho de quem realmente curte o app e quer ver ele cada vez melhor!

I’m having the hardest time trying to figure out the best way to set up this challenge.4 Weeks. 4 Winners. All they have to do to be entered to win the prize is to run a 5K. Each week they complete a 5K they’re entered to win but none of the group challenge settings seem to be right.

Hi Strava Developer Team,I’m a long-time Strava user and coach, and I use third-party tools like RunGap to sync training data from Garmin.One persistent issue is that Strava’s API does not currently allow third-party apps to assign gear (e.g. shoes or bikes) when uploading activities. As a result, this information needs to be manually updated every time, which breaks the otherwise smooth syncing workflow and diminishes the value of tracking gear-specific stats like shoe mileage.Could I request that you consider adding support for gear assignment via the Activities API — either by gear ID or name — during upload or in a subsequent PATCH call?This would benefit a lot of users who work across platforms.Thanks for considering this, and keep up the excellent work.All the best,Sean BarkesProfessional Coach

Hi,I wanted to adjust the HR zones from the default to the Karvonen ones, as they seem more realistic for me. On doing this i discovered that even though this change boosted time in zone 4 (less zone 3) for near identical rides, it halved the RE (relative effort).On inspection just the act of switching the HR zones to custom, but setting the zone boundaries to those calculated by the 'auto' feature had the same effect. (Forcing a recalculation by switching ride type and back)I want to carry on getting the consistent RE so I can look at the historical 'fitness' (aka training load) data, so I shall carry on with the Auto zones. To me this can only be a bug, unless there is something I am missing?

I’d like to see more attention paid to managing cycling gear, especially the historic categorization and usage monitoring for components carried over from bike to bike. Currently, there’s no way to transfer an any component from one bike to another to continue mileage and use case tracking.  For example, using all the existing components from a “current bike” and moving them to a new frameset.  Another example would be using multiple chains in rotation, in particular, waxed chains.  Right now, there can only be 1 iteration of a component linked to a “current bike”.The only option is to create a new ”Bike” and monitor its progress from there. Additionally, the starting date of a component can’t be retroactively set, leaving little to no options for reusing parts from one bike to another.From what I understand, a components “starting date” could be useful here.  I cannot be the only person who re-uses parts across bikes.

The global heatmap is not loading for me on android when I click. I have to reinstall the app to make it appear.

Hi Strava!  Not saying that the ‘See this Place’ pictures aren’t helpful for some, but I find them to be very inconvenient / distracting.  I LOVE the Strava Heatmap, it’s how I plan out so many of my runs, and I enjoy looking back and seeing how much terrain I’ve conquered on feet!  But having giant unasked for pictures really puts a damper on it.Is there a way you could create an option to toggle this on/off?  That way, folks that enjoy the feature can keep using it, but the rest of us have a cleaner option :) Your #1 fan,Max

This has always been the case that only very few people show up on the heatmap with their ebike activities. Whether it’s ebike or e-mountainbike activity classification. The map is practically empty with no traces for ebike activites. I can see my personal ebike traces from My Heatmap option but none of them show up on the Global Heatmap for the ebike options. By now there are hundreds of emountainbikers on Strava in this area but I only see the traces of a handful of riders on the Global Heatmap. It’s practically empty when switching over to ebike activites.

- "You" - "Progress" At the top, I'd like to suggest that adding a metric directly conveying recent progress - 1D/1W/1M averages or Last 3 / 1W / 1M averages Ex:X Time (mins.) / mi. (Over all 3 in a grid or graph)X Total (mis.) (Over all 3) - "You" - "Activities" Add the same filter buttons for your activities (that are on the "Progress" tab).  Ex.ALL,  Run, Ride  Just subscribed to the trial. Hope this is the right place to chat about it! 

Hello,I’ve changed the way I login to my strava account from writing password to writing a code.Now I’ve problem with others applications.Could You please bring back the original type of login with email and password? Piotr Bromka  

I get that Strava wants to promote new features, but this constant pushing out the new features on top and pushing of the old features down in the Home tab and You tab is something that I find frustrating! There are more and more features, which is good, but the app quickly loses simplicity and becomes less usable.What I mean is that there is now a new area on the top of the feed that shows me the streak.OK, I've got a 481 week streak, which I was perfectly happy not knowing about before. I know that I am never going to skip a week, so this whole streak thing is kind of pointless to me. I am not interested whatsoever in this feature, so having it in my face every time I use the app is annoying. What I really want to see and use all the time is my training log, and that is now buried deep inside the You tab because there are a lot of things on top of it that I don't care about - the streak thing, performance predictions, goals, etc.There should be a way to let me priori

One of my analysis on my own training is to look at my ride map and view it in power zones based on my selected FTP/Vo2max, when I look at power and heart rate in general its very difficult to see the strain on the effort, on my own Api I have done this at the top of the picture you can see the the power zone for each and including the FTP calculated, I have other options to filter segments and laps, also the time aggregated average so bunch the wattage every 20 seconds,30, 60, 2 minutes, thats what the sliders alow you to adjust

I have loads of routes but when I click on one via the mobile app, you can’t work out which route is yours because the map shows all routes in the area. I can’t work out how to turn that off. Photo above of my 18km run route amidst all the others

Hello With the release of version 421.8 I've got my navigation map about 1/3 covered with popup screens which I have no use for while e.g. hiking, and which are not possible to hide. This prevents me of having a good overview over the surrounding terrain while moving. In the previous version the distance, avg speed was on another collapsed screen which I had no need for to see constantly. This new feature on version 421.8 is very annoying to me. Planning to quit subscription threfor and switch to Komoot which is more suitable for hikers... 😬 

Hi Strava Support,I recently discovered the gear tracking feature and added my bike to my account. I set the gear's start date to a point in the past (when I actually started using it), but I noticed that Strava only begins counting kilometers from the date I added the gear — not from the backdated start date I selected.At the time I started using the bike, I wasn’t aware of the gear feature. It would be very helpful if Strava could retroactively assign past activities to gear based on the chosen start date.Is there a way to apply gear to past activities automatically based on that date, or is manual editing the only option?Thanks in advance!Best regards,Boštjan

Hello, until recently it was possible to show (personal and/or global) heatmaps in the "Maps" and "Record" Mode in the Android App by selecting them in the layer-filter. This selection is still possible, but: although selected, the heatmaps are just not shown in the map! It's broken just for me? Or is that a new bug? Is there any way else to see heatmaps in the Android App apart from viewing a finished activity? (Whichs trace obstructs the heatmap...🙄)Thanks!

There are three items within our running/cycling group that have really been chafing us: I’m not sure how to completely describe this but I’ll give it a go - across the top of the map, a “layer” of buttons was added whereby you can “Upload GPX”, “Reverse Route”, Redo/Undo, Trash, Display Heatmaps, and Display segments, etc. A large number of the phantom “distance jumps”  -and- “Red Box - Sorry We Couldn’t complete...” errors are due to this layer interfering with dropping a waypoint.  Any time a waypoint is added on the top 15-20% of the map, it registers a waypoint was added but fails to formally assign it to a location as this “layer” seems to interfere.  As the mouse moves, the waypoint sticks to the cursor and causes all kinds of havoc because it can’t actually place the waypoint.  If you are re-routing, this same issue causes a secondary problem because it will also plot the “finish flag” in the same location once it fina
