Hi Strava  As we all know, hydration is paramount during activities and I've been finding myself running out of water (even though I carry lots of water on board) and struggling to find a public water fountain somewhere near me to refill. I would like to see a public water fountain layer added to the map so that at anytime Strava users can pause their activity look at their map and find a water source nearby.  Just a simple water drop symbol and selecting the water drop on the map would show location details. Public fountains can be added by Strava users on routes and once verified by another Strava user, it can become a permanent feature on the map.    In Australia, the fountains are simple water poles with a faucet but can be difficult to find in large parks or open spaces.  Hope the idea gets considered as I believe it will keep athletes safe whilst training, especially during the Summer months. Cheers Trajce.       ... View more

Add "workout" is a part of Strava Goals, it would be nice to log the results from the boring of season training as well. So in a way similar to like FTPs and W, in a nice graphical way keep track of standard exercises.This as Deadlift, benchpress, Squats etc. With personal records and tracking over time. This to motivate some extra lifts during the off season and to come out even stronger for the coming season on the saddle. Could be like a list of exercises an add results and date, and then those exercises are shown. And just add them to the other Goals choices that are available. And then also present them in a section similar to this maybe... And also something likethis, results over time. ... View more

I know a lot of us use Strava because we LOVE data and using it to inform our training. I also know that a lot of us love competing with ourselves, but being able to quantify out efforts against the larger community of athletes is also something we value. As a trail runner who has recently gotten into competition, I would love to see a partnership/data integration with the Ultra Signup platform. Pulling race data into workouts that are classified as "races" could provide some really interesting insights, for instance, seeing how your race stats stack up against other Strava users who were in the same race. It would also be a cool way to see what kind of training other races performed leading up to said race. Data, data, data. As a bonus, it would be fun to earn badges/accolades in Strava based on your performance in a race. ... View more

Functional Threshold Power additional columns On the My Performance Page under Functional Threshold Power, you can record your FTP and the date so you can see the history of your FTP. Could we add some additional columns? Two that I would be interested in are my weight and my fitness score, a notes field might be helpful too. ... View more

I'd like to see a "Zone 0" added to the heart rate zones, defined as "movement that doesn't count as aerobic training."  Often, in an activity, my goal is to stay below Zone 1. Perhaps it's a recovery day. Perhaps I'm a little sick but I still need to take the kid to preschool on the e-bike so I try to stay below 45 W. Currently, this kind of movement gets lumped together with Zone 1 training. This feels wrong and makes heart rate zone analysis less useful. ... View more

I use Strava on Pixel Watch 2. It works, but I should really like to see an update where: 1) Able to lock screen from Strava app - should be a no brainer 2) See recently used activity types first in the list of activities 3) More data options/selection on exercise screens ... View more

There has to be a way to hide your avg power data and replace it with something else. Please🙏 ... View more

Pretty simple suggestion.  You're storing the data anyway, why not output that data while the workout is still in progress so those of us who do intervals can see the peaks and troughs as we do intervals?  Bonus points if you smooth the data and weed out anomalous data points. ... View more

I race a lot of bike races, and there are some people who will look at my data (heart rate, power, etc.) before I get a chance to change after my races. It would be a good idea to have a way to permanently have stats default to only me, so only I can analyze the data, and I don’t have to go through the step of clicking that box on every ride. ...

Have the option to mark a workout segment using Apple Watch by either double tapping or the Ultra action button . Segment can be either timed ( e.g. 3min x 5 intervals ) or by distance ( 1mile repeats )  ... View more

Strava needs to incorporate cadence reporting for running and it also needs more options other than full or half km for interval coaching or tracking. 250 meter would be helpful for those trying to track cadence  ... View more

Please add a possibility to create a roundcourse from a startingpoint by selecting a startingpoint and distance. After this, some routes in the distance-range should be displayed to select from. ... View more

Training for a camel endurance race, possible for Strava to add ‘camel riding’ to list of activities. This activity is also hugely popular in the UAE, and other regions and is currently being tracked under a different activity type. Thanks! ... View more

I have certain training circuits I like to use set up as segments because I can track my performance in repeatable efforts. i have several segments which are my favourite training circuits. I pore over the results, studying the sub segments and working out how I can attack them to optimise the overall performance.   What would be a really great idea would be if, on the segment map, we could create intermediate time checkpoints. Probably only for segments over a certain length, let’s say 20km. So on the report of the overall segment, there would be a table showing the time checks at the points and then the overall time.   This would really help to work out pacing strategies. ... View more

Quite some time ago the training log was changed for the worse on the website version. Within the app, the training log still compresses all activities into one day and bubbles them together. On the website, it creates additional rows and does not cluster the items, which is troublesome for someone like me who has multiple activities by day. I would suggest having a collapse or expand button where we could see either expanded view (current website) or collapsed view (current app), or keep both platforms the same and cluster everything by default ...

I'm a sucker for data and was wondering what my average speed was over time (all time, YTD, year, month, etc) but that metric isn't available. I could go through all my activities and do it manually but it would be awesome if i didn't have too! Adding this metric to the statistics page seems like a good place for it.   On the desktop website, a new selection under My Profile would be intuitive (seen below):                 On the mobile app, a "Stats" page already exists and the new metrics could be sorted as follows: ...

It would be good to have a function where a particular segment can be chosen (could be a favourite that an individual has, or perhaps one that someone is wanting to get a good time on), and then similar segments (length, average gradient etc) within a chosen radius from a starting point are suggest as similar segments. For instance, I'm going on holiday and there's a particular segment that I want to get a good time on. To help me train for it, it would be good if I could look at what segments within 10km/20km of where I live are the most similar. ... View more

I think it is important to have an Athlete Dashboard that shows a holistic view of an athlete's fitness based on the three pillars of fitness: exercise, nutrition and recovery.  This is important because: Fitness is not only about activity Nutrition is necessary for great performance - if Strava syncs with MyFitnessPal, Zero, Lumen, or Noom, Strava can gather more information about how an athlete is recovering after working out.  If the athlete is not eating enough, then they are not fueling for optimal level of performance  If the athlete is not sleeping enough, then they are not recovering for optimal level of performance If the athlete is overtraining a specific muscle group and avoiding another muscle group, then they can get injured through imbalances.  Athletes can select their primary sport (i.e. running) which gives them more personalized feedback on exercise, muscle groups, eating for performance and sleep Currently, I use Garmin Connect to track my sleep and Zero to track my fasts. I have used MyFitnessPal and Apple Health in the past.  ... View more

Some of us are not as young as we once we're and our times etc are gradually dropping off as we age. I'm in my 50s and Strava so comparing times to runs I did 10  years ago us not relevant unless we adjust for age. Similar to how you show GAP, it would be great to see something along these lines adjusted for age. Likewise, lifetime PBs become irrelevant in later life. I'm never going to run a sub 40 10k again no matter how much I train. The fitness trending and comparison to previous runs on the same course could also do with the same treatment. Even better if you can see true and adjusted pace etc. ... View more
