Strava Community Hub

I recently discovered the Strava iPhone home screen widget. The widget can show weekly progress at a glance, and track goals.  My preferred exercise activity is walking. However, it appears I am unable to view my walking statistics on this widget. This is because the only activities which can be shown on the widget are running, cycling, or swimming. Would it be possible to add walking, and other activities, to the viewable statistics of the iPhone home screen widget? Thank you! ... View more

So in Runkeeper you can set a goal and follow it, with nice audio queues so you know when to slow down or speed up. It would be nice to have this in Strava as well, to better train for a certain goal. It would be great to know how to train. Maybe even add triathlon training to be the first app to do this 😉 Runkeeper is really good at the training programs and I really miss it in strava ... View more

It would be great if you implement a real-time warning System for the community. It would be especially helpful when you are cycling in winter conditions with the danger of black ice along the way. So it could look like this: The user has the possibility to report such a case to your cloud - either by taking the current GPS Position into Account or by manually selecting on the map later - and other users are notified by a popup Information Like e.g. „Attention: xyz users have reported black ice within the last 2 Hours“ when approaching the Location. ...

Please implement a toggle to combine virtual rides with real rides or not. Apparently these used to be separated, but Strava decided to merge them for some reason... If I walk, run, hike, those all count as different activities on my profile, but for some reason Strava decided a Zwift ride is the same as a real outdoor ride, when that's clearly not the case. I don't care if people want to combine these on their profile, that's their call, but I don't want them on mine. I am tracking my actual rides. And sicne Strava now forces these to be merged, I am no longer using Strava to log virtual activities despite being a paid subscriber. I want to log them, but I want them in their own category. I want them considered for things like freshness scores and activity levels...  With Peloton I can bodge this by classifying them as "workouts", but Zwift Virtual Rides don't allow me to do this since they've got fake gps data...  You have the codebase to merge them, and the codebase to separate them. Please implement a simple profile preference toggle so I can separate these activities and start using Strava again.  ... View more

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

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

Along with the number of miles tracked on components, could we see the number of hours? There are bike components (like shocks and forks) that have service intervals in hours, not miles. Related is a feature request for tracking maintenance. That would be great. But a simple 'hours' feature alongside miles would be a good start. Thank you! ... View more

Please can you provide options/links to Shortcuts to start, pause, resume and finish activities, with the options to pick which type. This will be very useful to include Strava in longer shortcuts, or even deeper integration with the Apple Watch and complications, and also the Apple Watch Ultra Action Button (which can be used to launch a shortcut). ...

I mark what shoes I used on running and walking activities, then when I see total shoe distance, both on profile page or gear settings, it will show me total for both activities type, it makes sense but it would be nice to see total distance for one activity type only. For example, if a shoe was used on 1.500km, maybe it needs to be replaced but if was used only on 400km for running, maybe not, the point is we can't see this last number. Profile page already has a filter for different activities type that shows gears, maybe there this number could be filtered. ... View more

I would like to be able to generate my personal heatmap between specific dates, and not only "all time" or a specific year. Use case: I visit my summer house on an island frequently, and always strive to cover as much of the island as possible on each visit (on foot and bike). I am obsessed with my heatmap and it would be nerdy fun to be able to generate it for a specific visit (say a week). ... View more

Your virtural rides add to goals and totals but an ebike ride doesn't. Able to setup a goal with them added or not. I only noticed this at the end of 2022 after getting an ebike. Not sure if a subscription is worth it if I can't track my activities because STRAVA sets the rules on what is and isn't a ride. ... View more

On a laptop, when looking at the map for a RUN activity, selecting the "Full Screen" option actually makes the map smaller - it takes up about 45% of the vertical height of the screen, and the rest of the screen is taken up by a huge altitude profile and alot of white space. If you do this for a RIDE activity, it works correctly - selecting the "Full Screen" option makes the map larger - it takes up about 80% of the vertical height of the screen. Please change the way the "Full Screen" option works for RUN activity, so that it works the same way that it does for RIDE activity. Strava people - see ticket #2923073 for more details. ...

Over 50 million people in China, 300,000 in Europe and 90,000 in the Americas practise this sport. It would be great to see a profile for it.  ... View more

It seems like most social media platforms are adding "pinned" posts to the top of your feed / profile. I think this would be a sweet feature for Strava on the profile page, as you could showcase your best efforts or activities that you're proud of, and make them easy to find instead of getting buried in the feed. Thoughts? ... View more

If I share even one specific activity with either "Everyone" or "Followers", it looks like my entire gear listing is displayed. I'm sure many folks would prefer to hide this list, to avoid coming across as show-offs / boastful / as well as to avoid leaking information like this that might make them a target for any malicious individuals. Please add this option to hide the gear listing, otherwise the only option i have is to go back to not sharing any activities with anyone ... View more

When I joined Strava, it was very motivating to get achievements as I improved.  Due to an injury and age, I'll probably never run as fast as I did a few years ago, so I never get see those achievements as I slowly get better.  While getting an achievement for beating a lifetime record is still great, it would also be great if there were also achievements based on activity over a user specified period.  For me that would be since I returned to running in November after my injury.  For someone else, it might be when they shift their focus from short runs to long runs or for runners that take the winter off an annual thing. Ideally, you'd be able to pick a date in past to compare to rather than a hard reset - a hard reset will make every run achievement for a while which makes them meaningless. ... View more

Global heatmap is a great way to see what roads are well travelled by fellow athletes. The idea here is to add a dimension to the global heatmap similar to google maps "Typical Traffic" layer overlay to show what time of a given week is most popular. Some route options may show up as well travelled, but may not be viable at certain times of the week due to vehicular traffic. I.e., some roads may be saturated with cyclists on a weekend morning but not on a weekday. This type of feature could also be a good way to better identify commute data if integrated with Strava Metro.  ... View more

I think adding Meditation as an activity type will be great for Strava.  This is important because: Meditation helps athletes calm their mind and improve mental health before big races Strava can partner with guided meditation apps like Calm or Headspace to send directly to the activity feed like Peloton/Zwift As an incentive and benefit for subscribers, Strava can give free access to Calm/Headspace/Tara Brach/Sam Harris specifically for endurance athletes. Headspace has partnered with Nike.  Meditation activity can be set to private to respect athletes and athletes can choose if they want to make it public by opting in. An example of when I would want this feature is every morning. I try to take one deep breath every day and would do it more often if I saw that my friends are doing it too. And I'm interested to know who they follow and which guided sessions they use. Thank you Strava!  ... View more
