Strava Features Chat

I have a suggestion that I believe could enhance the user experience on Strava by allowing us to categorize routes. The idea is to introduce a feature that enables users to group their routes into customizable categories, such as "Texas," "Mountain Trails," "City Scapes," or any other personalized category name. This feature would provide several benefits:Enhanced Organization: Users could easily find and access specific routes based on their interests or locations, making it simpler to plan their activities.Efficient Navigation: Categorizing routes would make navigation through personal collections more efficient, especially for users with a large number of saved routes.Community Engagement: The ability to share categorized routes with friends or within a group could foster a sense of community and promote route exploration.I believe that implementing this feature could further enrich the Strava experience and cater to users who have diverse preferences and interests. I look forward t

You misue the metric system and I want you to correct your user interface language. Example Check out this post on Strava from The Strava Club. https://strava.app.link/pMyMogGuKCb In above:k = 1000, m = metre. Don't break the metric system. You should write 1 km, 5 km, 20 km. Lower case k is not short for kilometre.

I’m a little confused. I am a longtime Strava paid subscriber but I don’t use community resources much. I recently started riding the VeloDrome in my town. On road rides I use both apple watch and wahoo element to track activity. What’s the best way to record inside a covered VeloDrom. It’s under an inflated dome.

Good morning from Yorkshire, England !  I love to Road cycle, club & solo to explore, enjoy fresh air and company. I cycle between 60-100 miles per week, whatever the weather (almost!). I also walk around London a lot as it’s quick and you get to observe a lot more. i look forward to learning from the group. Thanks !

Hey I posted my run and it didn’t show up on my page. I really need that run is there anyway that you could get it to show back up? Thank you! 

Hi,I work for a charity, and we are running a challenge in September. I have set up a club and expect to have approx 100 people. As this runs from 1-30 September, is there any way to calculate the distance travelled by everyone in the club over this time? I see the leaderboard runs weekly, but is there any platform, upgrade or addon that would allow me to automatically track the group for a month, rather than doing this manually weekly? Thanks, Diane

I am over 75 but in Strava the oldest age group is 75 and over which includes folk who have not put in their DoB. Strava defaults this to 1900 so they become over 75.

Hello Ive been a Strava user for a number of years, and have always used the average pace function - my average pace across total distance run - to track my runs i seem to have automatically been given a preview subscription and now, when I run, I can only see average split pace per km rather than average pace across total distance  please can somebody tell me how I can go back to seeing the previous stat whilst running  thanks alex

Does anyone know if I can define the size of the splits? By default I can chose between 1km or 1mi, but it would be nice to really define other distances.Even better, it would be awesome to define time splits instead of distance one. That would allow, for instance, to train 1 min splits for fartlek series

Is it OK to link to a YouTube video (in this case a yoga instructional video) in the description of my strava activity and post it to my followers?

Hi there, I am currently unable to access my heatmap - is there an issue at the moment for anyone else?

I recorded my 8 Km run via Strava app on iwatch series 8 this afternoon and the activity wasn't uploading to strava.Please help. 

For several weeks, strava has been displaying my current speed and above my average speed during my activities. Someone knows how to reset the average speed ?

Why when I swim in the sea, does it not put a map on my activity. Sometimes it does, other times it doesn’t. I have gps and my phone is alway with me too

It's 2022 and most apps have Dark Mode nowadays. I know, it's weird to use Strava when not working out... But looking at the segments the night before to plan out the next run is a thing. Please make us literally lose less sleep when doing this, or when recording an activity in the evening. This has consistently been the top request on reddit.com/r/strava Thanks

I'm using an indoor rower and want to enter the number of metres I've done in 10 minutes. I add a manual activity, choose "rowing", but the distance only gives me the option for miles or km. If I use km it only goes to one decimal place, which is no good if I've done 2053m. It's fine on the desktop version (I can do miles, km, metres or yards), but is it possible to do it on the app?

Up until recently I could fire off kudos to all the people I follow by clicking a button near the top right (online). When I click it now, it says I have sent kudos to all but this is not the case. It might be an add on app that I have linked to Strava that allowed me to do this but I can’t seem to find out which. This is not to be confused with sending kudos to those who took part in the same activity as me as that works fine.Any suggestions please?

This morning we did a tour in Belgian Ardennes with our Cycling club.We did a 8 K long climb from La Roche to Samrėe.After syncing, I remarked that on some segments on this climb, I have no result, on others I have results. It's like I didn't passed this segment. This is bizarre 🤔 🤔.What could be a solution for this problem?Thanks for your imput.Patrick - Belgium

Hi thereStrava is awesome - nothing to add to that.However, I have certain security and privacy concerns with regards to the combination of location information (track) and the timing of said recorded track. The location information is an integral part of Strava and I feel that security and privacy concerns are appropriately addressed. I struggle with the time stamp of the activity though. Everybody who has access to my activity can see WHEN I move WHERE. Many people tend to do the favorite routes they do at similar times of the day (before work, lunch time, after work, etc.). It would be awesome to not just have a privacy filter around the start and end location of a run, but also around the start time. For example: no exact time stamp but only the date.In short: remove the threat that runner X is passing by the dark corner of the park every evening at 8:42 pm.Thank you. Happy to hear other voices on the topic.

There are many different activities that can be recorded on Strava but I've taken up Archery and cannot see that on the list provided.Is there any way this can be added or maybe and 'other' activity button so that you can enter what you have done manually. Thanks.

When I ride, it is almost always as a commuter.How can I set Strava so the default "Type of Ride" is "Commute" so I don't need to select it each time I ride?I searched for 'default "Type of Ride"' and couldn't find anything.

In the ride segment https://www.strava.com/segments/35185845?filter=overall the first place is an indoor ride https://www.strava.com/activities/4587913987How can such a thing be possible? From the look of the ride and its constant speed it really was indoor. Is that some glitch where a virtual ride was tagged wrongly?

I takes two tries when I edit an activity to change the map type.   Why?

I'm sure the new feature called best efforts is helpful to many users.  However, I am a para-athlete and am unable to run.  That being the case, I have no information showing in best efforts despite the fact that I workout with my handcycle 5-6 days a week. Is there any way to change what category the best efforts displays.
