I would like to have another data field added/created which showed how many meters I ascended per kilometer for my activity, similar to what VAM (in other platforms contain) but different in that it's measured/factored against distance undertaken and not duration. Also for training purposes, if I have a MTB race of 120km and total ascent is 1900vm, that means from a specificity viewpoint, I should be training within the range of 1:16 to get a good feel to what awaits me in the race. ...

When you set up your Profile / Gear. IF there was a box for E-assisted against gear item (example Yeti SB160E  E-Assisted=YES), then this could be leveraged in all the strava segments to tag the results e-assisted.  That would then separate the e-assisted from the au-natural without much effort. The segment could then be auto tagged for that ride as follows: 500m Blasting climb. (au-natural). vs e_500m Blasting climb (e-assisted) The addition of the e_ before the segment name is a dead giveaway. The underlying data segment ID might also then easily carry that e_ identifier. Would then probably save all the anxiety that goes with an au-natural KOM being nabbed using e-assisted gear. Of course its only as good as the responsible users of the database. Cheers ...

For example, I've completed my run 15 km, but I also want to know how many of 15 km were of the track I'd never run before. So for every activity it would be the additional parameter - 'new miles/kilometers'. As a developer I realize, technically it's not easy to implement, some advanced algorithms should be used, but it will pay for itself. It could be such a tidbit for many users and can encourage them to subscribe! That feature would target a pretty big amount of users who travel a lot. They would love to know how many unique kilometres they have run/ridden. And to compete with each other on this.  (And, yes, some third-party developers have already created it outside Strava.) ...

Sometimes when I look at my heatmap, I want to see also (in another color) public heatmap, so I would better understand popular tracks I haven't explored yet. I propose to add 'Include global heatmap' checkbox. And it'll be great if there is a possibility to select color (or type) for public heatmap (so I can combine different styles & colors to see what suits me better). ... View more

Would love to see the ability to self-enter the anticipated average pace/speed for created routes. The generic strava calculation does not take into account footing, conditions, altitude, etc.  ... View more

Would love to see the ability to set custom names for training zones. The current labels such as 'active recovery' are not accurate titles. If we could have the option of naming training zones... Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3... etc.   Thank you ... View more

Whilst browsing my activity map,it tells me that I am local legend on several segments but I'm much more interested in the times achieved. I appreciate spaceis tight but could you toggle the display between LL and segment times? ... View more

If I cycle 7.73 miles in the gym I can only manually enter 7.7 or 7.8.  For a sports app this is a very basic feature missing.  Every tenth counts when trying to beat my best distance in a set time!  ... View more

I love the goals feature and use it regularly for weekly or yearly distance running targets. However, I do feel that it's missing one-timer goals - for example "run a marathon (42k) this year. It could have the option to enter a specific distance and a date to complete the goal. With the option to share the achievement once completed. Thanks for reading my idea! ... View more

The heatmap function is a great addition to route planning/creation.  However road riding tends to drown out other types of rides so it can be difficult to plan routes for gravel where some tracks are not used by road bikes.  Would be useful to be able to exclude selected types of ride from the heatmap when creating a new route. ...

If we want to manage our gear, e. g. running shoes, we have to go to the browser/ desktop PC to correct the elevation. That is annoying.  Pls add this very useful feature to the mobile app 🤞 Update: I have found the feature in the newest version of the mobile app. Maybe it is not working properly as stated below... ...

Sometimes I want to use heatmap not as a heatmap, but as a summary map. It implies, I cover many DIFFERENT routes only ONE TIME and I want to see them all on one map. In this case, it'll be 'cold' color, and it's hardly visible with 1 px thickness. My idea is to add a special field where I can set minimal thickness of the line on the heatmap. So, if I even ran only once in some place, it could be clearly visible on the heatmap. ... View more

I'm really surprised this idea hasn't been suggested by anyone. May be it has... This could be a great feature for those, who travels a lot and as a result of another trip to another country may want to share which routes they've covered in this country. This is the most desirable feature for me in Strava. I know in FAQ there is a suggestion to use a screenshot of the personal heat map. But this workaround looks a bit lame. And I can't see the reason for not having this feature officially. It can't be privacy issue, because if I share it, it means I agree to reveal my personal data. ... 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

This was suggested in August of last year, but I haven't seen any further discussion or movement.  Currently, the only way to show elapsed time on something like a run, is to mark it as a "race".  The timing data is already there in the analysis portion of the activity, so it's just a matter of giving the user the option to use that vice "moving time".

I think it would be interesting to see a milestone mileage badge by a rider's name or profile, simlar/adjacent to the Premium badge. It would be cumulative versus annual, and maybe in intervals of 25,000 miles (or KMs)... or at least large enough to be interesting and not updating all the time. (10,000 KMs might be too small/frequent to be meaningful.) This is on my mind because I'll cross 100,000 miles late February or March, weather permitting. I'm kinda proud of it!  Just FWIW and thanks for considering.  ... View more

I’d love if you’d split the sport of Nordic Ski into the sports of Skate Skiing and Classic. They are very different sports and many people do both based on varying conditions. Thanks! ... View more
