Dear Team, Please add Nordic Walking as an activity.  There is quite a lot of Nordic Walkers out there, using Strava. We are neither walking, nor running. Thank you for consideration. Lenka 🇨🇿 Certified Nordic Walking Instructor ... View more

Both Nike Run Club and Slopes offer the ability to start a workout on your Apple Watch and for the data the be viewable live on your iPhone (and vice versa). This would be fantastic for those of us who want a larger screen to look at stats during a workout. To on even further, Live Activities would be a great addition. Here is how Slopes implements it with their live workout data from an Apple Watch. Example: You start an outdoor cycling workout on your Apple Watch but want to use your iPhone to navigate on your handlebars. Would be great to have the data live and viewable on both screens in order to see speed, distance, etc.  As of now, I have to start 2 simultaneous workouts, one on my watch for capturing HR and one on my phone for live speed on my handlebars, and then delete one after. No bueno. ... 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".

As a Strava athlete I use to plan my bicycle routes in advance. When planning routes it should be really nice if wind data was displayed on the map when searching for routs.  wind should be displayed with live forecast with a gradient like the heat map on the route, based on the m/s and the route direction and likely headwind.  visible on saved routes or suggested regarding todays forecast and the routes directions.    ...

With the new feature of Apple's IOS 16.1 "Live Activities" it is now also possible for third-party apps to display information on the lock screen. I train partly with my Iphone and it would be great to see the real time data like pace not by unlocking the Iphone and opening the Strava app but directly on the lock screen. ... View more

I find more useful having the elevation on the Home > Your Weekly Snapshot on a athletes such as trail runners rather than the number of activities. In my view the snapshot, which is great, can be re-arranged to have the total time, the distance, and the elevation. Perhaps the activities can have a secondary position right below or above those and occupy the entire row. If that couldn't be an option perhaps one of the three columns could be re-arranged so that it contains two measurements. ... View more

There are nearly 50 types of activities to choose from in Strava, and from looking at the ideas here, requests to add many more. (I admit, I'm guilty of this - as I asked for Football(soccer) to be added).  I'm starting to think this isn't sustainable, and is starting to make it too cumbersome to record activities that are 'outside the norm'.  [hub members: please read the entire idea before you lose your sh*t about this 😀] Proposal: Instead of adding activities, what if Strava actually simplified and removed activities... condense into a set of core activities, based around the specificity of data required. Cycling (has Heart Rate, Cadence, Power, GPS data, etc.) Running (has Heart Rate, GPS, steps, etc.) Swimming (has stroke, GPS, HR, etc.) Rowing (has stroke, HR, GPS, etc) Cardio (activities with HR only - focused on aerobic activity) Strength (activities with HR only - focused mainly on strength/lifting) HIIT (activities with HR only - combination of strength/lifting) Field Sports (cardio focused activity, with HR data, potentially GPS with heatmaps - soccer, tennis, basketball outdoors, etc) Indoor Sports (similar to field sports, without GPS - basketball, badminton, indoor soccer, volleyball, etc.) Water Sports (may have HR and GPS - windsurfing, surfing, sailing, paddleboard, kayak, canoe, etc) Winter Sports (may have HR and GPS - downhill skiing, snowboarding, nordic skiing, skate skiing, outdoor skating, outdoor hockey) ... (very limited others) Everything that then is unique to the activity can become a tag on the activity. Format would be [Activity > Tag > Tag >...] Cycling > Indoor (Peloton, Soul Cycle, trainer, etc.) Cycling > Indoor > Virtual (Zwift, Ruby, etc.) [note: this tag could auto apply from upload] Cycling > MTB  Cycling > Road Cycling > Unicycle Cycling ... Field Sports > Football(soccer) Field Sports > Baseball Field Sports ... Running > Trail Running > Road Running > Indoor > Track Running > Indoor > Treadmill Indoor Sports > Roller Derby etc. Then, update the reporting capabilities (My Activities, etc) such that you can filter/search/aggregate based on the combination of activity and tags, and also base the leaderboards around the combinations of activity/tag. While this would be a large change, and likely very difficult to implement - the end result would be a much cleaner interface for the athletes.  The tagging could be done in a multi-tiered approach, where there are 'core tags' provided by Strava (would be used for leaderboards), but also, the ability for each user to have their own custom tags (which would save to the user profile, and be used for filtering activity/reports). Maybe this is too complex, and maybe the majority of Strava Athletes would rather have an endless list of activities, and I'm out to lunch... if you have read this far, now I invite you to comment and/or lose your sh*t! 😀 Closing notes: Really, I'm just trying to come up with some way to simplify the activities and reporting... there could be other ways, I'm certainly not the holder of the best/only way to do this... would love to hear the thoughts of others on here (well - read, not hear - unless I'm using a screen reader... I digress). signed....  C. Crank.   ... View more

Strava lets you set up multiple bikes so that you can easily track the mileage accumulated on components, but there isn’t a solution for the scenario where you have one bike, and multiple wheelsets. For example, when you have a gravel bike with 700c, and 650b wheelsets. I would love to be able to: Set up multiple wheelsets in the Gear section in Strava and give each one a short name Assign a default wheelset to a specific bike Be able to manually select which wheelset was in use for a ride activity (see example UI) This would help me accurately track the wear and tear on my different wheels and their components: tyres, disc brake rotors, cassettes; hubs, spokes, rims. This is particularly important for gravel and mountain bike wheel sets where parts wear much more quickly. That said, the request is also applicable for folks who ride road bikes, because more and more, they have multiple wheelsets as well. I currently have a gravel bike with a 700c wheelset with 40mm tyres, and a 650b wheelset with 2.4" tyres, and I'm constantly switching between the two, depending on what ride I'm doing. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and we have a lot of terrain options for gravel biking. Being able to track which wheelset I'm using for which rides, would be so helpful! ... View more

I suggest that Strava have a page/place where we can see all our efforts for those distances: 5km; 10km; 15km; 21km; 42km (running) 20km; 50km; 100km; 150km; 200km (cycling) When we run 15km in a good pace, for example, strava shows that is our best 15k mark, or 2nd or 3rd. But when we runk 15km in a slow pace we do not know whick position that mark is. ... 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

Outdoor elliptical cycling stats are bundled with regular cycling stats because there is no separate activity for elliptical cycling. This leads most of us elliptical cyclists to log our rides are regular cycle rides, however riding an elliptical bicycle is extremely different to riding a regular cycle, and so stats can be wildly different. For those of us who ride both elliptical and regular bikes, it causes us to either need to have two Strava accounts, or to only ever log one and not the other. There are 49 clubs related to elliptical cycling on Strava: https://www.strava.com/clubs/search?city=&club_type=all&country=&lat_lng=&location=&page=1&sport_type=cycling&state=&text=elliptigo&utf8=%E2%9C%93 There are 1,689 members of this elliptical cycling club: https://www.strava.com/clubs/ElliptiGO   A side-effect of the above is it is really difficult to participate in leader boards of these clubs and utilize Strava fully for all my bicycle types. ...

The Strava smartphone app could connect directly to power meters and cadence sensors, similar to HR monitors which are already working well. Not everyone wants to/has the ability to record this kind of data through a dedicated cycling computer ("head unit"). Strava has already had tentative plans for this for years. From https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049550432-Pairing-Sensors-with-the-Strava-app : Can I pair power or cadence meters? Our plan is to first roll out heart rate monitors with BLE pairing to ensure it’s working as intended before we expand to power/cadence meters or other sensors. We don’t have a hard timeline but if our rollout of BLE pairing works as planned, you can expect power/cadence meter support to be recording devices that we would look at to support in the future. ...

I used to use Run Keeper which allowed me to set audio cues based on distance AND time.  I tend to run based on time rather than distance, so I like to get a call out every 5min and at every Mile. I could adjust to getting cues every half mile instead, but the real deal breaker is that it doesn't seem like I can get ANY audio cues on my Wear OS device (Pixel Watch GPS+LTE).  It only has cues for start/stop/pause...which is pretty much totally useless... ...

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

It would be so nice to be able to view activities by piece of gear. Now, I know that in the web version it's somewhat feasible, but: There's no such an option in the app, and that shouldn't happen. You can filter activities on web, but it must be a "double match", e.g., type of activity and piece of gear. In poor words, I can watch all my runs with a certain pair of shoes. But I can't watch multiple type of activities with the same piece of gear, e.g. I can't wiew walks AND runs with a certain pair of shoes. This is something that can be good value for many athletes who use multiple pieces of gear. I alone have four pair of shoes, two bikes, my brother's bike, and so on... ... View more

TRANSLATION: Hello everyone, Here is my suggestion: For a month I have been using a DI2 and my Wahoo captures all the gear changes I make during my ride. The Elemnt Android app collects all the data and sends it to Strava. I can therefore analyze my route, my HR, my data from my power sensor and the speed sensor on Strava, but Strava does not recover the data from DI2, although it is present on Elemnt. When we are on the route analysis option of Strava, as the mouse moves, we have the altitude, the % of the climb, the HR, the speed, the distance, it is no longer missing as the gear indication. It would be great to compare the same climb on several outings with different gears... Thank you for confirming to give me your opinions. If they collect a certain number of pros, is it complicated to upgrade this option for Strava. Mark   Bonjour à tous, Voici ma suggestion : Depuis un mois j’utilise un DI2 et mon Wahoo capture tous les changements de vitesses que j’effectue durant ma sortie. L’application Elemnt Android récupère toutes les données et les envoie à Strava. Je peux donc sur Strava analyser mon parcours, ma FC, mes données provenant de mon capteur de puissance et du capteur de vitesse, mais Strava ne récupère pas les données du DI2, pourtant bien présente sur Elemnt. Lorsqu’on est sur l’option analyse du parcours de Strava, au fur et à mesure que la souris se déplace, nous avons l’altitude, le % de la montée, la FC, la vitesse, la distance, il ne manque plus que l’indication du braquet. Ce serait formidable de comparer sur plusieurs sorties, la même montée avec des braquets différents… Merci de me confirmer de me donner vos avis. S’ils recueillent  un certains nombres de pour, est-ce compliqué à upgrader cette option pour Strava. Marc   ... View more

Hi Strava Product Team, Feature Request: Add support for multiple shoes at one (running) activity Reasoning: Usually at some type of training I use different shoes to warmup/cool down, and a different shoes pair to the main focus of that training. It would be great to have a feature to choose multiple shoes pairs for a single activity. Allowing to choose the activity time when we swap them to give the correct KMs for each pair. For example: Pair 1 from 00:00 to 15:00 (4 KM), Pair 2 from 15:01 to 40:00 (8 KM), Pair 1 from 40:01 to 50:00 (2,5 KM). It will add 6,5KM to the Kilometrage of Pair 1 and 8 KM to the Kilometrage of Pair 2. Thank you! ... View more
