Right now I have multiple cycle legs on my commute and one long train ride in the middle, where I've paused my activity. It would be awesome to have a feature that detects the large, instantaneous GPS segment leaps (km or more) so that the GPS trace on the map only shows my actual workou, and not the train ride. Example snapshot included. Shmanks.       ... View more

I would love to be able to record my workout on my watch, and view it either on my watch or my phone. I like to get the heart rate from my Strava on my watch, but I like to view my ride on my phone. I would either like a merge or be able to display my watch workout on my phone. The watch is too hard to see while I am riding. ... View more

Hi Strava team! I'm a big fan of Strava and I love using it to track my workouts. I'd like to suggest an improvement to the Strava mobile app for WearOS smartwatches. Step counting is a crucial metric for many Strava users, especially those who prioritize overall fitness and daily activity levels. The Strava WearOS app currently doesn't track steps! I propose that the Strava WearOS app be updated to automatically track steps and upload (sync) this data to the user's Strava dashboard, within the 'Cadence' section. Imagine participating in a steps Challenge (walk, hike, run) and being able to have your steps count recorded directly in your WearOS watch and then, as a magic trick, after syncing data with your Strava dashboard, the "Cadence section" shows your step count! That would be awesome! 😀 I truly believe that automatic step tracking would be a valuable addition to the Strava WearOS app and would be greatly appreciated by many users as far as by me. I urge you to consider implementing this feature as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and consideration. Leo ... View more

If I could fill this space with all the profanity in all the languages of the world throughout all time, I would... I'm on Android / Samsung. (1) Strava requires that Precise Location permission be granted. As far as I can see, there is no way to record a new activity (walk, run, etc.) without allowing that permission setting. (2) If Location is actually on, everything's cool. But if it's off, STRAVA WILL STILL ALLOW A NEW ACTIVITY TO START WITHOUT ALERTING, AND SO IT DOESN'T TRACK MOVEMENT! WTAF! (3) I don't always keep Location on, for a variety of reasons. I usually remember to check that it's on before heading out for a walk or run. But once in a while (like tonight), I was eager to get out, in a rush on my schedule, and simply hit Record / Start. I had a great jog—the best since my kidney transplant—and then got back to the door to realize that Location was off, and Strava hadn't recorded anything about distance/elevation. I wanted to burn the world down. (4) Two things:  - People who are in medical crisis or recovering from medical crisis (like me) often experience brain fog, forgetfulness, inattention to details, etc. at some moments, no matter how smart we are or how careful we're being (because medical crisis demands extra attention and carefulness). - People who are neurodivergent (like me) often experience moments of missing details or already being mentally so many thoughts/decisions down the road (like me tonight) that it's easy to overlook a detail. (5) So why in the world can't Strava notice that Location isn't actually turned on and simply notify users when they hit Start on a new activity? I can't think of an easier solution to any other problem. Please make it so. ... View more

Recently I did a multi-day hike through some areas in the alps with very very poor network reception so that I was unable to upload my activities in the form that I wanted them to be (nice description & couple of images).  After ending my activity after each hike at the end of each day, Strava tried to upload my activity to publish it to my feed. In areas with poor network coverage this process may not work and causes my phone to retry the upload over and over again which causes an increased consumption of battery (which is not good if you are in remote areas).  Feature request: When ending an activity provide the possibility "Store as draft" which stores the activity locally on the mobile phone without triggering an upload. The activity is then saved and can be edited and published at a later point in time when network reception is better and the activities are ready to be shared. ... View more

It would be really nice to have the OPTION of the activity automatically ending when you get back to where you started.   For those of us that are not thinking about Strava as we end activity it would save us much time doing after the fact "cropping".  It would also keep other users from getting upset with our car rides.   ...

I think it would be great if Strava partners with one of the leading augmented reality tech companies (FB, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Nike, Adidas, etc.) to develop an augmented reality track.  What is it? The augmented reality track is a way to run with other runners in an augmented setting. If a runner has the glasses and is running on a traditional track, they can start an augmented reality version of their activity that allows them to run with other people at the track. The glasses would place other runners from around Why is it important? The track is community place for runners and usually have the same size and layout. This creates the perfect opportunity for people to run together even if they are in different cities around the world. As long as they are on a track, the glasses could be turned on track mode and allow athletes to connect with other runners publically and private. Runners in public track setting would be connect with runners who are running at the same speed for extra motivation to keep going. Runners in private track setting can connect directly with a friend who is in a different city to run together. How does it work?  Wearing the glasses and starting an augmented reality run would allow the athlete to see other athletes on the track. The settings of augmented track mode allow athlets to select their avatar in the virtual world. This would be a cool way to connect with people around the world. Many morning runners run alone, but this would allow them to see other runners and get more energy to run faster. After the run is over, Strava would tag the other runners from around the world in fly-bys so we can give kudos and connect. Just wear the glasses and start running. Future: We will be able to run and race each other in augmented reality in the real world. It doesn't matter if we are in the same city. The distance is verified by the app collecting the data. The AR glasses give the boost to give that final push in critical parts of the race. The world can run together on the ART.  ... View more

I use Strava on my Apple watch during CrossFit and other gym workouts. There have been a few times where I forgot to manually end the workout when done. I know this function is available for workouts such as running/cycling where GPS is used. It would be great if it could be enabled for non-GPS workouts as well. ... View more

I saw a previous suggestion about allowing people to use different units of measurement for running and cycling so this is along the same lines. growing up in the UK where there is a weird hybrid of both the imperial and metric systems, this would be very useful if you could get strava to show different sports in different units of measurement. for example, I have always measured my runs in miles so understand mile pacing and prefer to view people's runs in min/miles, but as I have it set to imperial it also puts my swims in imperial (yards) which I have no idea how fast yard pacing is🤣 so would prefer to be able to view the swims in metres. I think the previous post about cycling said the same in that they would like to view their cycles in kilometres and runs in miles. this would be really useful and a great feature if added, thanks!   ...

Workouts need to by synced to Apple health as the correct workout type. For example, strength training is synced to health as "other" when it should be set as "traditional weight training".  ... View more

Can we get the option to manually sync workouts to 3rd party connected apps? Many apps are able to upload activities to Strava. However there are others apps I like to track activities in like Garmin Connect. But Garmin Connect isn’t supported as a connected app by as many other apps as Strava is. Strava automatically syncs activities to Garmin Connect, but not activities from other apps. So right now I have to log into Strava, download the .fit file, then upload it into Garmin Connect. As an example: I do a rowing workout using the virtual game EXR. EXR uploads the activity to Strava, but not Garmin Connect. I have to pull the data from Strava manually on a computer, and manually import it into Garmin Connect. instead of having to do this the roundabout way, add a share or sync option to connected apps. That way we can easily and seamlessly sync a workout to a connected app manually directly from within the Strava app while viewing the activity. Doesn’t need to be automatic, but just having the option to do so with a quick click in the app itself, would make the process smoother, quicker, and easier. ... View more

It would be amazing if I were able to track jump height and number of jumps within the Kitesurf activity on Strava. I know there are other apps available for tracking devices/watches/phones that track this, so an integration with one of these apps might work. I prefer to track my kitesurfing activity on Strava and not also have a separate watch, device or phone to track jumps.  One single location to be able to record and view the stats that are important to me for the activities I do is always the goal. Thank you for your consideration! ... View more

As a runner, I often separate my run into separate sections, like a warm-up before a run, or sometimes I’ll split my run in half: a fast pace section and a slow pace section. To reflect the different pace/intensity of my training, I often post these sections as separate activities, naming them “part 1”and “part 2”, for example.  I would love the ability to record up to three separate sections of an activity, posted as one activity. Ideally, this would present as multiple lines of stats (pace, etc.) above the map labeled something like “section 1”, “section 2”, etc., and these separate sections would be indicated on the map route somehow (such as “start” and “end” markers, or colour coding of some kind).  ...

If heart rate is unavailable for some time, Strava just averages the missing part making the total average useless.  e.g. Watch fails to record heart rate of the first 5 minutes of a 30m run. Strava then records a 5 minute interval with (very) low heart rate. Then at the end if the run the total average is lowered significantly by that stretch.  i would like these null readings be ignored or at least have the ability to choose how they are handled/extrapolated (max/avg/last value/first value/ignore).  ...
