Strava Features Chat

Myself and group of other teachers at my school will shortly do a sponsored cycle over a period of around 10 days. We would like our pupils to be able to easily view our progress on Strava, but we don't want to risk them being able to interact with the the associated activities or muck about with the feed containing them by allowing them to join an associated club themselves. We would also want to stop pupils being able to easily see our previous, personal rides, from before we started the sponsored cycle, by simply scrolling down to the bottom of a club feed. I think this rules out using clubs for this cycle, and joining a group challenge (which might otherwise have worked, at least to a certain extent) is now restricted to premium subscribers, which would exclude 70% of the staff involved.Is there any way we can safely promote our sponsored cycle in Strava or do we have to look elsewhere? And if we do have to look elsewhere, does anyone have any device-agnostic suggestions?

Hi.  Can anyone please tell me if it's possible to get audio direction prompts whilst running a route I have created in maps?  TIA.

All of the sudden no heart rate data.  And this is the foundation for relative effort and fitness. I tried to manually upload the file but Strava would not accept a duplicate file. Any ideas? 

 My Progress page is not updating. I have tried logging out, restarting my phone, uninstalling the app and nothing is fixing this issue. Applied latest update yesterday. Any ideas on if this is a known issue in latest update?

Hello. There is probably an easy way to do this, but I think there needs to be a button to change the view back to a direct overhead vs tilt. I live in a very flat place where the tilted view is never that interesting. However, I do draw a lot of routes on my phone. Sometimes the screen gets tilted and for the life of me I can’t get it back. If there was a button or if you tapped the compass twice it would be nice if this changed the tilt back.  Thanks!

Hi ThereI've downloaded all my activities from my old strava account and now tried to upload them again in my new profile. I'm doing triathlon, so there are a few multisport activities. While uploading the files strava ist mentioning "xxxxxxxx.fit duplicate of Morning swim". So far so good. But then checking the activities, all those files are uploaded twice. Is there a solution to get them only uploaded once?Thanks and regardsBen

Hi all,I'm trying to add my heart rate information from my smartwatch to a Strava activity. The Strava activity was uploaded from my stationary indoor bike.I tried the following two methods:Method 1:I exported both actives as FIT file and tried to combine these files with "GOTOES". The FIT files have been loaded correctly, and also the merging looked good.When re-uploading the combined TCX file to Strava I noticed that the "laps" data is wrong. My stationary bike is listing the different watt intervals as separate laps.Working:    Broken: 

This issue is happening again periodically. Whilst there wer some slow updates following the recent server issues, I've two over the last couple of days which aren't showing up on my heatmap. I've tried changing sports and then resetting to no avail Funnily enough on both today and Friday when the no-shows have been recorded I've done another activity which does correctly show up up. On Friday the first activity showed, but not the second. Today it was the other way round. I'm getting a bit fed up of this.

Hi Team! Submitted a support ticket, want to know how long before activity if/can be restored.Thank you.

 Hello fellow sport-enthusiasts, I've started cycling three years ago and discovered Qoms. I love chasing qoms and gathered about 2000 of them in the those three years.Now *every* ride when I earn Qoms about half of them do not show up in my Qom results.When I go on my PC to a specific segemnt on which I am the Qom I do not get it, even if my time is much lesser than the current Qom.***What I have tried so far:- refresh results (both on the ride and on the segment page)- wait 14 days for Strava magic to happen- label my ride as a 'canoe-trip', refresh and turn it back to a bicycle ride and refresh- smacked my keyboard hard to my deskAll of this does not work.I emailed Strava and they could not help me. Just told me the 'canoe-trip-trick'.***Who has a brilliant idea?(I have added some examples for clarification and OF COURSE my rides are 'public')

Hi and help!I uploaded an activity and smashed a CR but a day later the activity disappeared and I can’t find anything. The other two guys I was with still have their activities but my activity has disappeared from their feed too. please help!?ThanksAl

Hi All, I changed my workout patterns entirely and play tennis 4-6 times a week but want to track my cardio performance etc. I play competitively now but in my strava it only offers me to switch a default to cycling. It does, however, let me manually change activities to Tennis once they are registered. My activities are tracked on my Garmin and auto-upload.  Any help, workarounds, or alternative ideas for those mainly doing non-triathlon sports are welcome. 

There's been a couple occasions when I wanted to edit my ride route after the ride was complete and there is no ability to do that.  A couple examples:The GPS tracking gets screwy and the shown route is actually not the route you took.  I'd like to be able to straighten out the screwiness after saving the ride.I forget to unpause a ride which removes all route info until I resume.  When a ride is resumed, Strava will draw a straight line from where I paused the ride to where I resumed.  I'd like to be able to fix that after completing the ride.

Is there, or could there be a way to do this? You can obviously filter on the map for your KOM’s or starred segments, but say I want to poach a KOM from someone, but it appears you need to view a list of their KOM’s and individually check which ones are close

Hi! Some of my recent activities (recorded with my apple watch) is not showing in my Strava feed. There is no “unsynced” activities, they just disappeared. How can I restore them? 

UPDATE FROM STRAVA: The issue is resolved.   Hi, is anyone else having issues getting there activity on garmin edge to upload to strava? It seems to upload fine to garmin connect but not uploading via strava. Thanks 

Hi there, will the change apply to users who join a group challenge or just to those who want to create a group challenge? We would like to create a challenge for volunteers at our charity to all participate in and were wondering if just one of us needs a paid account, to order to create the challenge, and then everyone else involved can join it with free accounts? Thanks! I have already started my a month trail and paid subscription from end of Sep. I tried to invite others to my group but they are not allowed to join without a subscription. Please could you help me.

My ride this evening does not appear on my personal heat map.   Following the recommendation from other forum posts, I changed the activity to something else (Badminton) and then back to Ride.  It still doesn't appear on my heat map. https://www.strava.com/activities/12106985405

Good day, I'm having trouble seeing any flybys.  It is showing my route but no other riders.  I've been out on busy days at popular spots and a few people I've ridden recorded rides but did not show up on flybys.I checked my privacy settings and all seems fine.  I haven't seen any flybys on my last 10 rides or so, not one.  Any suggestions or solutions?Viewing on a 2017 MacBook Air using Safari.

Hello all, On of my rides are not shown on the Heatmap, even though the activity has been recorded: https://www.strava.com/activities/9062889956  Anyone else who have met this problem or is there some kind of box I have ticked, that makes this ride invisible on the Heatmap? Best Thorkild

It is necessary to be able to separate running power from cycling power. They are measured differently and it is obvious that they are not comparable. The FTP measured in cycling cannot be compared with the FTP measured in running and that makes all metrics based on FTP or the power curve no longer useful.

Hi, i have an activity from my garmin that uploaded to strava. It notified me and its on notifications on strava and on my training log but not on my profile or feed. I have tried everything, please help!

I have recently created two new segments to add a little competition to the Wednesday evening run for my running group. However, having created them, historical data has been pulled from as far back as 2016 and data from activities that have obviously been entered incorrectly e.g. a run that was actually a cycle. As an example, the leader of a segment I have recently created 'ran' at 1:45 mins/km which equates to 25 miles/hr.Is there an option to create a completed new segment with no historical data? Is there an option to reduce how far back historical data is pulled from?

I'm using multiple bikes, includin an ebike for tracking with StravaUnfortunately the bike distance goals are either buggy or make no sense.Personal bike distance goals do not consider ebike rides. But I can't set a distance goal only for ebike rides either.In my profile stats, ebike rides do contribute to my bike stats, and additionally ,there I can filter for ebike rides only.So this is really not consistent at all.Pleaser let ebike rides contribute to the personal distance goals too,
