My Strava activities on my phone used to default to displaying distance, elevation gain, time, average speed, and MAX SPEED, but at some point with no warning or explanation it stopped displaying Max Speed and instead shows calories.
I have friends whose activity feeds still default to show both avg and max speed, while others show calories -- but nobody knows how or why that changed, and nobody knows how to change it.
Sure, I can click "view analysis" to see my Max Speed, but I don't want to do that. I want my activity feed to automatically display Max Speed. WHO CARES about calories (which of all the stats on Strava is basically a total joke & super inaccurate, anyway!)?
HOW can I change that? Strava does it for some people already (and used to do it for me), soooooo it's obviously possible. But I can't find any info anywhere!

Hey @L_McLoskey ,
That's a great question. The activity data you see on your dashboard may be slightly different from activity to activity depending on the activity type and the activity itself.
For example, for a running activity, the elevation will appear in place of pace/speed if the elevation gain is greater than 100ft per mile. Otherwise, pace/speed will be visible on the dashboard.
The information you see may also be dependent on the length of the text. For example, if you are not seeing elevation or pace but an empty space this may be because the time and distance take up more room on the screen, and therefore the next set of data (elevation or pace) is not displayed since there is limited room.

With all due respect, I don't think you answered the question, @Bryant. The question was "HOW can I change that?". So, how can one see his/her maximum speed on the dashboard instead of calories? Is it configurable by the user?

Hey @Miroslav,
I apologize for the misunderstanding. Unfortunately, this is not configurable by the user.

Hm, OK. And yet some users I know personally show "Max Speed" as the default, while mine (and most others I know) shows "Calories." So if a user cannot modify/customize it, please explain WHY this difference exists? I can even provide screenshots. It's 100% the case, but nobody knows why.
