+2Our week starts on Sunday, and my monthly running diary, every week starts on Monday and it's hard to understand how many days I'd ran every week and which week... is there a way to change it? In Garmin, as I remember, I can choose the starting day of the week..
Thank you!

Hey @Sport_Addicted,
Thanks for writing in!
To answer your question, unfortunately this setting cannot be changed.
Most of our Features that involves dates (Training Plans, Training Log, Training Calendar, etc.) start the week on Monday opposed to Sunday. I do apologize for the inconvenience, however this feedback of what you would prefer is greatly appreciated.

I as well think this should be an option… I’m sorry that you don’t have a good enough programmer to make this happen, but for a topnotch programmer that should be a piece of cake… why would you want my week and why should I have to settle for your week…
Hi Bryant, I appreciate that this is probably something out of your hands but... As I have other activities on fixed days I'd like the training programme to work around them but cannot. It makes signing up for the advanced features a bit of a waste of time unfortunately. I will probably cancel my subscription when the trial period ends.
I agree this should be able to be changed, it is very odd that when all calendars start on a Monday or a Sunday both of these should be an option. why would you make so many great options for us but not on the Calendar. it makes it weird that my goals and options are different in Strava and the Garmin.
I too will cancel my subscription since this setting is not a feature of Strava app. I recently created my training schedule to begin on Sunday, and end on Saturday. Garmin allows me to change the start day of the week. How many unsatisfied subscribers will it take for Strava to appreciate the value of this setting?
In order to change the first day of the week i was looking for a way to do this in Strava. This shoukd be very basic functionality, but this is not implemented. Is Strava considering this in a future update?
This should be allowed is not that complicated. Garmin has the option how come Strava doesn't offer this? So much for a customized experience, we pay a premium for it
+26I would guess the reason that beginning of week starts on Monday for everyone has likely something to do with challenges and group leaderboards. That requires weeks to be aligned across all users. Remember that all the stats, including weekly mileage, are computed not in the app, individually for each user, but in the cloud on the servers. Making this customizable would likely make it more expensive (e.g. database joins would be more complex and touch more data).
I am not defending Strava's solution but attempting to at least reason about it.
Furthermore, I wanted to add that even though I am in the USA and my week starts on Sunday in the calendar, I strongly prefer my training week in Strava to start on Monday. It makes more sense for the following reason:
30-50% of my weekly volume comes from a single long run. Depending on weather I often shift my long run between Saturday and Sunday. If my training week started on Sunday, then inevitably some weeks would have two long runs while other weeks - no long runs, for example if I did a long run on Sunday followed by another long run on Saturday 6 days later. This would make weekly mileage quite uneven. But if my week starts on Monday, there is no such issue since every week still has one long run even if I shift it.
