Morning All runners 🏃‍♂️ Suggestion for the moderators/platform designers, would be great if Strava introduced measurement of VO2 Max. HR is currently measured, this could easily be integrated to work out a user's VO2 Max score, and have this split into 4/5 zones, as they do on Samsung Health. This would help me track my progress a lot more and give me more motivation to improve, especially when it's bloody cold like it was this morning😂 Thanks😁 ... View more

User Story As a Strava User (maybe Subscriber?) that enjoys trying out different training criteria And has just finished an activity I want the ability to specify my own tags (e.g. 20-tooth, baby-seat, red-socks) So that I can report on activities with my specified tags and further personalize my training experience Save/Edit Activity with User Tags (20-tooth and baby-seat, etc): Filter My Activities by User Tag(s):      ...

When I look at the "Relative Effort" section of my rides, I see a graph called "Weekly Effort." This graph usually makes no sense.  If I look at the ride on Monday morning, it will compare my effort for that one day to the entire week prior and always tells me my efforts are below average. It would be much more helpful if the graph and analysis were done on a rolling 7-day basis.  It would be helpful to know how I'm doing for the last week vs the prior week, no matter what day I look at it. ...

Below the map in the workout details up to six stats are displayed. Some devices capture more than six and depending on the device, Strava chooses which six appear. Let users choose which six stats to prioritize in that summary. Maybe it’s a drag-and-drop list of all stats that users could customize in their settings, and if their workout contains those stats, they are displayed in the summary. ... View more

I know I submitted this in the old forum, can't find it here: Please add the ability to track mileage by year by bicycle. For those of us (most cyclists) with more than one bike, it helps us do maintainance at the right intervals, or helps us learn how long certain tires, chains, etc. last. Right now I can see total mileage per year for all bikes, or forever mileage for each bike. Need to see mileage per year per bike.   Thanks. ... View more

When recording a run, allow display of the live run pace (min/km or min/mile) and average run pace across the whole activity.  As a Strava Subscriber, I can only see the average pace within a split (mile or km). This is very strange because: Free athletes can view the total average pace while Strava Subscribers cannot. This is actually much more useful to know if you are on track to meet a target time in a race. You can view speed in km/h or mph by recording as a ride first show here (https://www.reddit.com/r/Strava/comments/d27faz/how_to_show_current_running_pace_or_speed_in/) which is easy to convert into running pace from a programming perspective, but very difficult to convert to the more common running pace during a race. You cannot gauge your pace during intervals shorter than a single split - live run pace would allow me to see how fast I am for 200m, 300m, 400m intense intervals for example. These features are used in other apps (e.g Withings Health Mate), and would be easy to implement, and very useful here.   ... View more

Be able to create heart rate zones for different sports. Heart rate zones are different between running and cycling. I am thinking of the Trainings peaks application which has this functionality. ... View more

Having equipment specific PRs or "Equipment Bests" would allow users to track how their equipment effects their performance.  Setting a blazing PR on a TT bike may make it so a rider will never be able to match on their road bike. This equipment based PR would allow riders to compare like for like equipment and keep motivation to ride different bikes high (even if they aren't as fast!) ... View more

Both the training calendar and log present already recorded data with links to each activity on a given day, all organized in a weekly grid format; the Training Calendar displays one month at a time with total time, distance, personal records, and number of activities; the Training Log is more dynamic in that it provides a scrolling view of each week with total distances, and the ability to filter by activity, in addition to completed races arranged chronologically. I'm suggesting 2 things: 1.  Add the monthly aggregate data from the Training Calendar onto the top of the Training Log; this will help reduce some redundancy. 2.  Add the ability to "schedule" your future weekly activities (run, ride, cross-training, etc.) - nothing fancy, just some simple data entry for date, time, distance.  For instance, I have recorded 5 activities this week (Mon-Thurs), and my Training Log shows Total Distance for those, but I have roughly 4 more activities planned for the week, including a 10-mile leg in a relay race.  Ideally, those which have already been uploaded, and those which are scheduled would provide the user a dynamic estimate of weekly/monthly distance; including STRAVA club events which the user has already RSVP'd to would automatically populate the Training Log and provide an absolute one-stop-shop. ...

As not all sports are available on Strava, due to lack of votes, I think it would be a good idea to be able to create custom sports so that we can track our metrics for that specific sport. Rather than all other sports being put under the same “workout” category.  For example, I want to record my field hockey workouts that I do twice a week, but because it is not on the app I must leave it under the general “workout” category. Which, means that if play netball, or another sport not listed, all the stats for those sports will be grouped together, which doesn’t help me track performance for that specific sport.  ...

I have a dual-sided power meter and when connected to and synced with Wahoo or Garmin, I get to see the balance of my left-right power. Strava, currently, aggregates this data and only shows my total power output, but it would be great to have my L-R balance alongside total power just to have a bit of data either confirm/deny what I'm feeling on the bike. Thanks! ... View more

Feature request: can we customize the ordering of these Sports? Running is already my "Primary Sport" under my profile (in iOS app profile settings — what does setting this even do now?), so I would want graphs on my profile to have a bias towards showing Running data if available over other activity types.  The main activity that I want to highlight on Strava is running — that's one of the main sports this app is built around. But recently I've been uploading my other workouts tracked by my Apple Watch (weight lifting, yoga, climbing, etc) to Strava since it's nice to see them contribute to my Monthly Fitness graph, Weekly Intensity graph, & other tracking features in the app.  The problem is that Strava tries to intelligently re-order the activity types (e.g. "Weight Training", "Run", "Rock Climb", ...) above the "This Week" graph on my Profile based on the amount of activities have been completed of a particular type. Based on what I'm observing, the ordering of the activities is strictly based on number of activities uploaded of that type, not any other metric (e.g. time). This means that more often than not the "Run" type — & therefore the default view of the "This Week" graph on my profile — is not first; e.g. I uploaded two short weight lifting activities (total 45 minutes) & one long run (1.5 hours).   Thanks! 😊 -Izzy ...

As a coach it would be very helpful for me to be able to see parts of an athlete's profile that are not visible to other followers. I'm thinking specifically about performance oriented things like the Fitness & Freshness graph, Relative Effort graph, Power Curve, Training Log, etc. Every Strava member should have the ability to designate one or more of thier followers as a Coach, and that person would have the ability to view these elements of their profile to monitor training progress.     ...

Zwift has been around long enough that now when you see a map in your feed of route that is half in the ocean off the coast of the Solomon Islands, you know exactly what you're looking at. But what if we didn't have to guess at the virtual route? It would be nice to be able to select a map type (or even better, have it be the default map type for Zwift rides) to have the fictional map display instead of the real life coordinates based Solomon Islands map. Maybe @eschlange already has something like this ready and Strava developers could work with him to implement. Heatmap of fictional routes in the middle of the ocean ... View more

Please add sauna as an activity. Sauna or hyperthermic conditioning, is used very commonly by many athletes to complement training and to harness multiple performance enhancing and health benefits, but also is an activity that individuals who are unable to exercise can easily do in lieu of physical exercise. It can be a good cardio workout, and can increase calorie consumption by up to 2x over baseline during a session.  ... View more

Hi, What do you guys think about introducing a second point system to stay motivated for Zone 2/endurance training? It would be great to have a second scale for endurance points alongside the fitness points. During periods of endurance training, the fitness points start to drop. However, if I could see an increase in my endurance on the second system, that would be reassuring for me cheers   ... View more

Hi, I'd love if we could create performance based goals or PR goals. E.g. Run 5ks within 35mins. And have some sort of tracking for it based on your personal records.  At the moment, goals are either volume-based (e.g. run 100km in a month) or it's tied to a segment. My idea is to have a goal similar to segment goals but to make it more generic.  This feature would be valuable because performance-based goals are commonly set by athletes of all levels to help them either reach a particular distance for the first time or improve their performance for certain events/distances. Being able to make these goals and track them can offer athletes a concrete target to hit and visualise their progress towards that goal. This is something that current volume-based goals do not fulfil as that is more about consistency rather than performance. Additionally, by making generic goals that are not associated with specific segments, we offer athletes more flexibility.  ... View more

I, as a multi-sport athlete participating and training in both indoor and outdoor activities, need to crop indoor (non-distance) activities so that I can accurately report on my level of effort and rely on Strava to be my training hub.  Alternatively, I will find competitive subscriptoin solutions that allow me to crop activities. ...
