Strava Features Chat

Hi! I want to create a challenge. 10 km per week for 12 weeks period. How can I create this? Based on below, I would assume the counter does not reset every week.  As of now I've created: Group Challenge --> Most Activity --> Distance --> Kilometers --> Run --> Start date + End date (12 weeks) --> Name & Description.  Appreciate any input, 

I see in the activity tab yearly stats for running, cycling and swimming. But I want to know how many times I went surfing. How do I see that? 

Is it possible to create a challenge where i challenge each group member to complete a goal, ie everyone complete a 5k, and at the end i can see who all completed that distance in a single run/walk? This is for a sports club! I just want to post a weekly 'challenge' ( and be able to check everyone off easily!!)

Hi,Subscription level: SubscriberGoal: As a user, especially the one paying, I want to create a group challenge that offers a group goal and shows a leaderboard. Roadblocks & examples: As a user, I currently cannot create a challenge that meets these needs. It is possible to create a Group Goal challenge, but that one doesn't show a leaderboard. Similarly, Strava offers the Most Activity challenge which does show a leaderboard but where participants do not work on a group goal. Earlier conversations on this topic: I found one conversation called Group Challenges User Interface that is similar to the problem I pose above, but where the accepted answer is not satisfactory in my case. Thanks in advance for any help,Thorsten

It’s great that Strava offers McMillan training schedules, but it is frustrating that those are on accessible on the website and not within the app. Ideally, they would be customizable for all race/run distances and frequency ;currently they don’t offer 10 mi and when you select 2-3 runs a week, it gives you a 4 run schedule. 🫠.)Also, I’d love to be able to integrate this with a calendar so that I can adjust my runs per my schedule. 

Hi!I am using Strava a few years now, and I have some older activities that had the elevation corrected by the old feature when you clicked over the elevation value and corrected but I am seeing that the values where very different from reality. I want to re-run the elevation correction with the new feature but clicking the 3 dots menu I don't have that option. How can I do it without exporting GPX, reimporting and loosing all comments and kudos?

Recently I was riding and every time I completed a mile, the elapsed time for the mile would pop up at the top of the screen.  However now I don’t see that anymore.  I love that feature and want to know how to enable it again. 

As of a few days ago, my audio notifications have stopped working. Strava doesn't announce when I start or stop a work out or my miles. I am using Android on a Samsung phone. I have tried all of the following:- Reboots- Uninstalling/re-installing Strava (with reboots)- All 4 volumes are up- Matching my Text-to-Speech language with my system language (English on both)- Turning off and on the audio cues for miles and start/stop- With and without headphones. I hear other notifications, such as texts in both cases Any other ideas?Thanks,Tim

Hello Strava Community! I rode 6600 km this year, with a part of this kilometers done through commuting. I am curious to know which part has been achieved through commuting, and which part achieved through "standard" ride. Is there a way to compute / display this information easily in Strava (mobile or laptop version)? I have been looking for it, and the training recap is weekly, not doing a total of km for a given year.Thanks for your help, and let me know if my request is not clear! Gilles D.

I ride 2 Mountain Bikes but can only set one of them to default sport "Mountain Bike". The moment I try and set the other bike also to default "Mountain Bike" the first bike default is "Blanked out". Why is that?Also, for those of us who travel regularly and use a hotel stationary bike it would be cool to have a bike type option "stationary bike".And while I am at it, I also ride a "hybrid flatbar" which is neither road nor mountain, can there not be a "Hybrid" type option. 

My “routes” continue to show that I am “offline” and won’t load anything, and won’t let me create a new route. Tried deleting the app and turning off/on phone. Suggestions?

Very often when using Strava and linking outside in anyway it has way too much friction. 1. sample 1 -BWR announces a new segment and posts the link. Upon click of link asks me to download app. It’s already downloaded. I click get app. It redirects me to the app, but to my feed,  it the view of the original links. Fix this. 2.i post a Strava ride on instagram. People click it. They get the same login/ redirect issue. if you platform wants to grow and stay relevant make it easy to post and share. Outsiders need to see some of the inside before experiencing high friction points. Look at instagram. Let’s you land on content then after time/ actions asks you to login. asking for login and being high friction before social value is exchanged deters both posters  from sharing and lookers from seeing. 

I'm a free user and agreed to the data exchange between Garmin and Strava. However, I noticed that each time my cycling activity updates on Strava, it doesn't sync automatically to Garmin Connect. Is it because this feature isn't supported for free users?

Hello colleagues I have created a private club defined as "cycling".Several members have been added to the group. Unfortunately, I've recently noticed that some member activities are not showing up in weekly. I checked and the cycling activities that are missing are set as public, so it's not a question of permissions.Have you encountered such a situation?    Thanks.

So with my old Vivoactive 3 I would record my squash games as a normal run. Obviously the run map was irrelevant but it would give me the distance I ran/moved which I really liked. (Normally ended up being 3-5k depending on how hard the game was)However on my new Venu 2 if I record my squash as a run in the same way the map is always weird (one straight line) and only records me as having moved very little. Normally under 1k. I have switched to recording my matches as "cardio"However I really like tracking how far I've run in my matches. Any ideas on how to record the activity so it measures the distance covered? I assume its to do with the GPS not liking the fact you move in a very confined space in squash but seems weird the older watch recorded it fine whilst the newer one can't. Any thoughts or solutions much appreciated  

Strava recently announced 9, yes, NINE, new sport types https://www.strava.com/clubs/231407/posts/23088067 Virtual Row was one of the new sport types announced - where is it? It's been almost a week now since the announcement and virtual row is nowhere to be seen. Any update on when we can expect to have virtual row available given it was launched a week ago?

I log my strength training manually in the Strava App. Normally it's the same content except a higher weight sometimes. Is it possible to duplicate an existing manual entry and just edit the text description instead of create a new exercise every time? 

I joined a group which got me more Kudos – which certainly helps with motivation – so I Followed people in the group. But now Strava is not allowing me to follow more athletes it seems. I’m pretty sure I’m under 2000 I’m following… most likely just a couple hundred. Did I reach some sort of a limit? Does the system think I’m a bot? Do I have to unfollow someone just to follow someone else? Thank you EdieBrooklyn

Hi,Please kindly advice if it is possible to add heart rate to existing activity? From unknown reason my heart rate was not synchronized in my last activity (I assume some problems with my equipment, probably solved now). And now I have two separate activities. One where are all data (GPS, pace, cadence, etc) and second one only with heart rate.Question, how can I add heart rate to existing activity with other data? I have heart rate in seperate .fit file.Thanks,Krzysztof 

Good evening, I made a mistake in making the annual Strava subscription, by mistake it was uploaded to an account that I didn't even know I had and that I don't use anyway. I asked for help in the Strava chat but no one answered me. Can I do something? ?can I move the subscription??? in the meantime I have suspended it on that account.....or should I resign myself to having lost the money???

Hi,  I am devastated, pushed myself to get a PB. Strava hasn’t given me anything for it? I didn’t pause I ran through 5k to make sure I went over? My Apple watch is showing a pb In achievements at 5k 22:30 but strava is showing nothing?   

Hello I turned on my bike retire, it is possible to restore it ?

Is it possible to add sound to third party workout imports?For example, Nike Training Club's videos do not include audio when the workouts are imported to Strava. 

Would like to see Strava offer custom stats feature so athletes can add for 800m, 400m, etc...
