Strava Features Chat

Good morning everybody,I create a lot of tracks for my weekend runs, and since I started using Strava for that I started to notice that it was becoming increasingly difficult, to the point where I stopped using it. At the moment I use it to save tracks from friends of mine on Strava, which I save to run there later. I started to notice that when running on these tracks saved on Strava, there were routes that didn't make sense.In the example below we have:Red is the original route where I downloaded the gpx direction to my computer.Blue is the route I saved on Strava, in My Routes and later downloaded to my computer.It doesn't make sense for these changes to exist, as I didn't even edit the route, I just saved it.Is there a solution for this?Thanks

When I record an activity such as a workout or a yoga session, the Strava timer doesn’t seem to work properly — a 55 minute aerobics session was logged as being 7 mins long. A 45 min yoga session was logged as being 26 mins long. My device is an iPhone 14 and I’m using the latest version of the Strava app — 351.0.0 — which was rolled out two days back.I’ve been facing this issue for a week now. Can someone please explain why there’s a glitch? 

Hi,Any ideas what's going on here …?A client of mine uploads her activities to Strava from Garmin vívosmart. On her Garmin account, I can see all details from the activities, but the data is missing on Strava.I can't see any obvious privacy reasons. Any ideas …?Garmin: Strava:

I'm using the free version of Strava now. In a browser, when I click on a segment in an activity, I only get to view All-Time, Men, Women. See screenshot. My husband, who also is in the free version of Strava and in a browser, sees "overall." How do I fix mine to see "overall" also?

I like to cycle alone quite a bit and try to utilise the routes section.is there anyway to amend the distance? I hate it jumps from 30 to 50 to 80 and no in between.Also it only shows 3 routes, is there anyway to get more recommendations on the app as most being recommended I have completed.first post so be gentle haha 

My activities from this morning will not sync to my Strava app on my iPhone. I have restarted my phone and my watch, but nothing has worked. I’ve also added an extra activity to see if that would push through the previous two activities that would not sync. Again that did not work. Can you please help?

What have you done to Heatmaps?  I do not care about businesses, or where other people have run, walked, or biked, and the new color selection interface does not allow basemap changes from the same interface (as it should).  Also, as I zoom out, the once-useful aggregation of workouts (showing a circle and number at scales where the actual paths get tiny and useless) is now gone.  Writing this as a cartographer, recent changes are not an improvement.  Is there a way to recover the old display mode?

Hello, one of my favourite functions in strava is to navigate with the perfect maps in combination with heatmaps. So I have an idea if a trail is practicable or not. When I can also see my personal heatmap I can see if the trail brings me to my familar tracks. For this procedure there is not a practical funktion in strava but to go to the "maps" funcion and go to segments or routes. Unfortunatly the map then is confusing due to the suggested routes or segments, which I do not need in my mentioned case. And the display is not shown fully in this feature. Is there a solution or funcion I do not know?

Strava seem to encourage users to self police segment leaderboards, however this is severely hampered by limits on the number of flags that can be raised on activities.I've tried to raise this issue via the ticket system, but each time my request is ignored and no feedback is provided.How do Strava expect users to perform this service if we can only flag a small number of invalid activities?If users don't have the tools to keep leaderboards clean and Strava won't perform this checking themselves how do they expect this task to be achieved?

I gave recently ridden a route in Dalby Forest, England.The segment is called get loose for Lewis. I rode the tarmac road near to it. Strava has twice recorded my ride on the road as a ride on the segment. I'm now K.O.M on a segment I didn't ride. I personally don't care about segments, but those who do will be quite pi..ed off at my false achievement knocking them further down the leaderboard. It's time the false recording of segments is tightened up for those who use it, and those that cheat deliberately, banned from using Strava.ADMIN, PLEASE ADDRESS THIS.   

I have saved an activity from my Galaxy Watch 6, while on the watch it shows that the activity has been synced, on the phone app, there's a permanent display of "Processing Activity" showing up in my activity tab. I tried restarting my phone, login and out of the app, clearing cache on the phone, and tried resyncing on the phone, refreshing the activities by pulling down and it just won't disappear. While I already accepted the fact that activity has been loss, I wished the "Processing Activity" can at least be removed.  

today I ran a PR in my 10k and it didn’t show up. I’m not usually worried but there was a lot of hills and I could have quit but I didn’t lol any fix? 

Hello, not sure if this is the right place to post this but I’m new to Strava and was wondering how can I see other people’s activities in my area? I feel like I can’t see anyone’s activities and nobody can see mine, my privacy and settings are all set to everyone

Just found that I could not upload any GPX files in the route maker since yesterday. It just said" There was a problem processing this request. Please try importing your file again or try another file". However, Those GPX files could be uploaded without any issues before. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Buongiorno. Mi piacerebbe avere una legenda di come sono segnate le strade per poter creare dei percorsi più precisi che non trovo sull'app. (Strade asfaltate... sterrate... sentieri... ) Chi può aiutarmi? Grazie. TRANSLATION: Good morning. I would like to have a legend of how the roads are marked to be able to create more precise routes that I can't find on the app. (Asphalt roads... dirt... paths... ) Who can help me? Thank you.

It would be nice to filter the import to certain activity types.For instance my walks are transferred to Strava and there I delete them.It would be much easier to exclude them from import.It is probably requested earlier, but I could not find it.

  Hello there.I need help to solve this issue: in my App, on the display runs, the pace (RP) no longer appears, only the elevation gain (see attached). How can I modify this and return to viewing the average pace? I've tried various methods, but without success.Thank you very much!Sincerely,Darlan Nunes  

I’ve been on leave and just logged on to give some kudos to some mates and nether the web nor app version of strava is showing any activity of any of the people I follow since 9 May.   I’ve been inactive but I’m pretty sure everybody else just didn’t stop exercising because I was in Italy eating gelato!

Hi There is it possible to place an ad for a mtb race on strava . Tks 

I really like the Relative Effort feature on Strava as I feel it helps with motivation. However, a couple of weeks back I did a Lactate Threshold Heart Rate (LTHR) test and following this I adjusted my HR zones using the newly calculated LTHR. Since then it seems that the RE figures for my activities are quite a bit lower although I don't feel like I am working any less hard. Is this because of the change to my zones? The RE graph currently suggests I am working below average at the moment (very demotivating). Do I just have to wait for the average to sort itself out?

I can still see all the data (elevation chart, HR chart, cadence chart, etc.) on the web version of Strava, but the "View Analysis" button has disappeared from the phone app. Friends of mine can still see this when they view my workout, but I don't have an option to do this anymore on my phone.I upgraded my iPhone to v.17.5.1 yesterday afternoon and I have a feeling that this triggered a bug in the Strava iPhone app. I have deleted the app (and data) then reinstalled it but problem remains. Any other ideas?

Hi everyone, I suddenly stopped seeing the heart rate analysis on my activities (pie chart with heart zones). Not only on mu recent activities, but also older ones where there was. any ideas? Has it been taken off? thanks

Did weather data break? I don't see it populating for any 2024 rides on mobile or desktop. I do have Premium, and it's there for old rides. I'm seeing it as missing on other athlete's rides, too.  

Hi I’m new to Strava and open water swimming.i have a question re: tracking distance and time using my Garmin Venu 2 watch. As far as I know my watch cannot track open water swimming. Time yes, distance and gps, pretty sure not. I’ve downloaded the Swim Coach app and from my understanding, it can’t either. Anyways. I downloaded the Strava app and used it for the first time yesterday. To my surprise, I found this on my Strava when I got home. I’m delighted with it. But can somebody enlighten me which of the above produce this? My garmin venu 2 or swim coach app?  Many thanks!! 

If it wasn't for my GF, I wouldn't know - I get trophies, I see the trophies in my activity, however the achievements are showing differently in her feed. See here, my last two activities:  And this is how she sees the acitivities: I refreshed the acitivity achievements but no help. What am I missing here? Thanks.
