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?

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.

When creating a training plan, the output is very generic and not tailored to the individual athlete's needs. I'd like to be able to do the following: Define exactly how many days a week you want to run (currently, even if I start the configuration with 6 days, the plan only includes 5) Specify which day(s) in the week would be rest day(s) (currently, a generated training plan schedules rest days for Saturdays and Mondays - I want to be able to pick e.g. Friday), same with e.g. long runs While keeping the major race of the season (e.g. marathon) as the ultimate goal, I still want to be able to input shorter distance races and have the rest of the plan recalculated based on that (e.g. count the race as a tempo run, schedule a recovery run for the day after) If I deviate from the plan for any reason (illness, severe weather), I would like to be able to trigger a recalculation of the remainder of the plan And, ultimately, the plan should be able to build on & dynamically adjust based on the particular athlete's progress / performance, incl. specific pace for particular runs (could be based on some proven methodology, e.g. Jack Daniels' training paces)

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!

hello, at the moment it is not possible to share on IG stories Strava records/crowns/personal best . The only sharing activity is on IG dm which I think quite useless. I guess this option would be very nice to have! can someone develop this???

rjpiii · ‎09-13-2022

Can you please add ice hockey to the list of sports in the app. You have ice skating but not ice hockey.

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).

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.

Please consider adding an ability to edit comments. It is somehow fairly common for me to type a fairly long comment with some details and send it, and then immediately realize there are some typos. Also, there is something in the app UI which makes it prone to send the comment prematurely before I finished typing it. I am not sure what it is but that happens regularly (just happened today again). When that happens the only option is to delete the bad comment and start over. There isn't even a way to copy the comment text (at least not in the app). Please consider improving that.

I like that I can add parts like wheel, chain etc. to my bike an get the kilometers I used them. As winter is coming I'll use my bike on a wheel on trainer (Tacix). Therefore I change the rear tire to a special one and the front tire for sure will not get any kilometers on. In spring/summer I'll put back the current rear tire and keep going with the front tire. So therefore it would be nice to stop/pause the usage of parts and then just activate it again. So the used kilometers on this part are still correct.

Lu_conder · ‎05-14-2023

options for emoji reactions on comments/activity 😂😡😭✌️🤮😱 Because sometimes just a heart isn’t enough to express yourself.

Kbeecher · ‎08-11-2024

It would be nice to be able to see photos that I've taken and posted on Strava located on the map so I could look up photos that I've taken in a certain area. Would be a drop-down menu so you could view segments/ routes/ photos/ map only The same idea as a photo map on your phone

Marzia · ‎12-13-2022

While it is possible to search for activities in my own activity feed, it isn't possible on other athletes' feeds. Sometimes I'd like to check the route or elevation of a race that someone I know ran. That'd be a useful feature.

MickNorgan · ‎05-17-2023

Feature request: Turn off comments Does this feature exist already? I have searched but cannot find this specifically, I would like the ability to share my rides but turn off comments, is there a reason why this isn't an option when you choose to share your activities with followers/everyone?

JSINK · ‎07-15-2024

Often I miss the possibility to on iOS slide through the altitude profile of my route or my activity and see the location selected reflected on the map. it would be really helpful to have this possibility when planning (routes) or reliving (activity) activities. Currently I often find myself searching for this functionality but left - a little - frustrated, moving back to Garmin connect or another app (and I don’t want to do this). Thank you very much for considering!

SkyRun · ‎06-22-2024

The feature that I would like to add is working together with the biggest run per country (London Marathon, Boston Marathon, 20km of Brussels, ...) and getting the times from the organizers in the app on top of the GPS tracked run with the app. The official time, together with the map from GPS would be amazing. This way people who ran a time can show it off on their Strava account. Kind regards

When I'm planning a gravel bike ride, I want to know where all the gravel / dirt / unpaved roads are - not just the ones along my planned route. In the route planning map, it shows me which sections of my current route are paved vs dirt -vs unknown - so it's clear that Strava has this data about many roads - but in order to know whether other roads are dirt, I have to drag a waypoint over to them, which is slow and awkward. In the routing preferences, I can choose between "prefer dirt surfaces", "prefer paved surfaces", and "any surface", which is useful, but isn't the same as being able to see where everything is. Often, I am willing to go out of the way to ride a new gravel/dirt road, but I might not ever discover it by relying on the "prefer dirt surfaces" routing option. I'd like to see the surface type of all roads on the map - perhaps as a layer that I can turn on or off like the heatmap layers.

In my years of cycling (both MTB and Road) and hiking, I have found sunglasses, nice water bottles, hats, gloves and today I found keys at a trail head. My idea is for Lost and Found buttons. I can activate the “found” button and someone could a search and if there is a match based on same trail run/ridden we may be able to get lost items back to people. The found button could require a photo of the item. This is already built in since the Strava knows who was on what trail/course and we can already post photos. I normally leave found items at trail heads or closest trail marker. Take a picture of the item at a trail sign and Strava can navigate the person to that “Found” item spot so they can get their POC sunglasses or lost car keys. The data is already there! Let’s make life better together. Thank you for reading this.

Sometime you want to create a segment which is are a loop. However, if you don't start this loop exactly at the same location, you won't be compared to other athletes. It would be great if strava could detect that a segment is a loop and allow comparison between activities, whatever the starting point

I would suggest an option to use total moving time, instead of elapsed time for an activity. I would suggest looking at the imported data from Garmin and other third party platforms, and take over their time data instead of calculating these within Strava. For example: Garmin paused and resumed activity shows correct time on Garmin but Strava shows incorrect total time. 1. step one start activity on garmin watch 2. pause activity after 5 minutes 3. pause for 50 minutes 4. resume activity for 5 minutes 5. finish activity and save 6. garmin shows the activity correctly as 10 minutes 7. activity get sync to strava 8. activity shows up as a 60 minute activity instead of 10 minutes. I have been able to reproduce this issue multiple times on strava. Strava response: Indoor activities currently use total elapsed time instead of the device's moving time. The elapsed time is then used to calculate the pace and activity time shown. Therefore, even if you manually stop or pause your device the time will be included in the activity. The file that is uploaded to Strava contains data points instead of GPS data, our system relies on GPS data to calculate moving time. We hope to have a better way to process this data in the future but unfortunately there is nothing we can do at this moment in time. We invite you to visit the Community Hub.
