Strava has great volumes of activity data uploaded by athletes, and should be able to use that data to calculate / predict race results.  There are some simple online calculators, but not very accurate. Strava might take into consideration the following (but not limited to): previous race results athlete's recent training volume / mileage, and other parameters of the training quality (speed sessions etc) for long distances (e.g a marathon), also percentage of sufficiently long runs  athlete's attributes such as gender, age, weight (there's already an existing feature request to sync this), VO2max (dtto) and if a prediction turns out to be off, use that to adjust future predictions accordingly  Athletes should be able to get their predictions for any distance (the feature can include the most usual distances by default but let's not limit to those, people should be able to add custom distances), but also time (e.g. prediction for a 12 mins run for the Cooper test, 1 hr run and such). At the same time, athletes could see a recommended pace for each distance - that's extremely helpful if the athlete plans to race on that distance for the first time. ... View more

I use Strava. I have a smartphone, tied to my bike computer (a Bryton - which requires maps to be downloaded to it). I have the Strava app on my smartphone. I cannot, and no one can, download a map file from the app on a smartphone. It would make sense that the website function of downloading maps was available on the smartphone app ... (to all but the app developers priority list it seems).  ... View more

Hi, I've seen several suggestions for new features regarding fixed gear and single speed bikes. I would like to reiterate why I think it would be a good idea and give new elements that are relevant.  Currently, riding a fixed gear / track bike (one gear no freewheel) or a single speed (one gear with freewheel) is counted as a regular bike on Strava. However, the speed, effort, watt, heart rate may be quite different from bike to bike. There are already several other categories of bikes and riding fixed or single speed changes the riding effort so much I think it deserves it's own category. Moreover, if this new category would include a ratio calculator (number of teeth on the chainring divided by number of teeth on the cog), we could also calculate and estimate our pedaling cadence, which is important. Since Strava is already calculating our speed, and since speed on a fixed gear is directly related to our ratio and cadence I really think it would give a valuable information.  For example I can reach 33Km/h with a cadence of a 100rpm with a ratio of 49/19, or reach a similar speed by pedaling at a 90rpm with 49/17 ratio. Tire size also affect this metric but you get the idea.  Pedaling cadence and gear ratio are really important when riding fixed gear and I think they would also mix well with other metrics such as watt and heart rate.  All of this, + the fact that fixed gear and single speed deserve their own leaderboard, KOMs etc... ...

Needs to be a way to correct the distance on best efforts.  For example, I just ran a mile on the track (a true 1609m) but it won't show up in my best efforts because my GPS recorded the distance as 1602m.  Yes, I could keep running to make sure it records the time as a mile, but that's generally not how a race works and also when I know I ran exactly 1609m I want my best effort to reflect the accurate time not an extra 7m of running time.  It's crazy I can't edit it to say distance was actually 1609m not 1602m.   ...

Hi everybody ! Just a stupide but laughing (loving) idea for the next Valentine's day... Could you develop a new "Kamasutra" activity ??? Even if it is ephemeral ?  Thanks in advance !!!!   ... View more

There is a beautiful lake in my area that is popular for training. Many swimmers start at the same point, swim across to the other side where there is a clear endpoint, and then swim back to the starting point. The lake is shaped in such a way that there is essentially only one path to follow for this route. While there are a couple of segments in the lake, I have created one myself, and currently, I am the only swimmer listed for it. My suggestions for improvements are as follows: Since GPS and water don't mix very well, make segments in open water swims much more flexible in tracking. Make the start point and end point (turnaround point) clearly identify which segment you are on. The parts in between should be allowed to vary from the segment much more.    ... View more

I’d like to have the option of contributing anonymized personal heat map (hidden portions would remain hidden) without having to mark the activity as visible to everyone. I think the amount of data available would grow significantly if this option was available, benefitting the whole community.  ... View more

I propose adding the capability to track academic activities such as Math, Reading, and other school subjects on Strava. This feature would allow users to log time spent on educational pursuits, similar to how they track physical activities like running or cycling.Currently, Strava excels at tracking physical fitness, but it does not offer any tools for tracking mental or academic activities. This feature would be unique and add a new dimension to the platform. Mental exercises are just as crucial as physical ones for overall well-being. By tracking academic activities, users can set educational goals, monitor their progress, and achieve a more balanced approach to personal growth. Details and Visuals: Integration with educational platforms: Sync time spent on platforms like Khan Academy or Coursera. Gamified challenges: Create challenges like "Read 500 pages in a month" or "Solve 100 math problems in a week." Leaderboards and badges: Track progress and earn badges for reaching academic milestones. ... View more

I find that there are people that seem to be able to run about twice as fast (or faster) as Olympic athletes on routes. Then it turns out that all their other activities are for cycling but they have tracked as a run. This means that impossible records are set and cannot be beaten. Any chance Strava could review records for running (and other activities) to see the which are faster than world class and review if they should be records. Seems like something that could be automated and would be motivating for us mere humans ... View more

Hello! I've been using STRAVA for 10 years now, and I love it 🙂 You are doing a great job, adding features. Especially I love seeing My heatmap grow. I use STRAVA as a training blog to my self, adding pictures and looking back at memorable trips/rides. BUT I'm missing one feature that I hope you can work with. I would appreciate a function in my training log allowing me to filter on gear/equipment eg. Specific Bike/shoes. In that way, I would be able to choose one specific bike and see all my activities on that specific bike. Or maybe one pait of running shoes... Keep up the good work! Greetings from Norway -Tom ...
