I only add people who I have done activities with, and it used to be a manageable amount of <100. But in the last few years since I started cycling & joining various groups & clubs, the number has gone up to ~200. I can no longer go through all of the activities on my feed. I miss out on my closer friends' big swim/run/rides & and only learn about them way later when other people mention it IRL.

How many friends do you have on strava, and do you try to read all of their activities?

Do you check macros/nutrition info ahead of time, stick to a few safe orders, or just make the best call in the moment?

I’ve been inputting my runs and goals into ChatGpt and it’s oceans apart from Stravas AI. When will they make it a useful tool instead of just a summary of what you already know.

I’m curious to know your favorite feature of Strava.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Whenever I record a Live Activity in Oura for something like pilates or strength training, it uploads to Strava with a random GPS map and the activity duration is incorrect.

Walks, runs, and bike rides upload perfectly - it’s only the non-GPS activities that seem to have this issue.

Is this a known bug, or is there a setting I need to change? If you’ve fixed it, I’d love to know how! It’s been super annoying to have to delete the entry in Strava, and then manually input my workouts.

Hi,

I don't know exactly if this is a Strava problem or a Garmin problem (I'm using a FR970 and have used a FR165 before), but when my strength training activities are uploaded onto Strava, the exercise list is not available, even though it's available on Garmin Connect.

I'm raising this cause I saw one of my friends having the exercises listed when visualising the activity on Strava as seen in the photo.

Thanks in advance for your support!

So I just downloaded Strava for the first time today as I went on my first outdoor run, I wanted to share it but can’t help but notice the street name is visible on the block I ran around.
I see a lot of people post only a orange map line with no context or street names, how do I do the same? Mine literally shows the map and street I ran around.
I already tried few things and none worked like hiding start / end location but doesn’t help what I’m trying to do. Yet I see every other post do exactly that.

If I stop at any point does it invalidate the calculation for a user's "Biggest Climb", or split it into two "climbs"? How is this calculated?

I don't mean some long break, but something like filling water bottles at a fountain or quickly taking a picture at a viewpoint. Anything where I would need to unclip and put a foot down vs. pedaling nonstop the entire way up.

Planning a ride with a climb that will make that number go up, and I want the number to go up.

I just want to view my friends runs. I don’t care if they’ve done an upper body workout or if they’ve walked their dog.

Seen a few posts now about people getting followed by spam accounts.

I've always had my account on approve to allow following settings.

My question is why would you leave it open?

If you have an open to follow account, what positive interactions have you had with random people that encourages you to keep it that way?

I am expecting some people found their spouse that way or something lol, but am wondering if the negatives outweigh the positives?

Edit for Summary: Been very interesting, a lot have their profile public and only allowed followers. Thanks all for your responses!

All Strava accounts require a moderator to approve their posts in each group until they've made 10 approved posts in that group.

Hi.

I'm an older white guy who posts to Strava.

Are any of you getting followed by pretty, young, Asian women with private profiles who have a small number of activities?

To me, it seems to be a mechanism to wedge themselves into my feed for scamming purposes.

Thanks.

Edit: Yes, I know they're not what they represent to be. Probably some guy(s) in a basement in [Insert typical scammer country name here].

Another Edit: As I've confirmed through this discussion: Yes, I know they are scammers. No, I will not make my profile private for reasons. Thank you for all the help.

Final edit: This experience proves many people do not read the actual posts.

I have been using Strava for Heart Rate since whoop expired. 3 months.
Usually had no problem to collect even 12h+ data (overnight) , but in the last week or more, I get what looks like disconnection ?!
Whoop had a firmware update even just yesterday I think, not sure how many over the past month, I anyone else had such a problem ?
(Restarted phone and apps.)

Not sure which one to go off because all 3 GPS say different times;

Apple Native Workout App (the one I recorded with): 22:02
Strava: 22:01
Runna: 21:59

Which one would youse use as your 5K PB time?

Is there any Strava-powered extension (preferably free, but can have premium tier if it works :)) that adds total distance for this activity Type and other statistics (total elevation, number of ride) to Strava acticity Descriptions? I know where to find this stat in my profile, but I want to know this for each particular ride. Cheers!

I went for a 15km run today. At the 10km mark my update was 58 minutes. Now I’ve finished and saved the run and it’s saying my 10km time was 61:08.

I’ve had this issue several times now and I don’t understand what’s going on

When my friends go on rides in the mountains, there is no simple way to see the stats on the climbs they do. Sometimes you can look for segments that match the climb, and there is always the total elevation. But what would really be nice, is if there was just a Tour de France styled stage graph, that had the length and avg gradient of the major climbs on the ride. Does anyone know if there is an app or service that can generate this for you and upload it to the Strava activity as an image? Ideally automatically, but don't know if Stava would allow that.

I subscribed through the App Store and always paid through Apple. Never once through the website, never signed in on the website. Everything was done through Apple/the app. I cancelled my subscription through Apple settings. The following month I was charged again for Strava subscription and was confused. The website themselves ended up charging me. I tried emailing customer service about it and it has been push & pull ever since.

Any advice? What do I do? I obviously cancelled it for a reason but it seems pretty scammy that they would charge me through the website AFTER I cancelled through Apple.

Overview screen: yay! You got 18 achievements, including a PR

Activity screen: naw, you only got 3 and they were 3rd places.

I've been waiting for access to the Strava MCP since it launched and I still don't have it. Does anyone actually have access? I tried contacting technical support and didn't get a response there either.

Perks of being a 5-year subscriber 🤡

Não esta entrando no strava

I subscribed to Strava for a month just for the summer. I cancelled recurrence straight away, since I only want it for a month.

For the whole month I have been a paying subscriber I have had to click away nag screens about my subscription ending. Surely this is not the way to treat paying clients?

Strava gave me 1400 metres of elevation, but in reality it was just 1000m, which can be obviously seen in the picture. Does anyone have the same or know how to fix?

I was recording with my phone

3 days ago I just subsribe Strava Annual but actually i'm very dissapointed with what they give to me. Already request refund from chat and I got email an ticket from email already but after 2 days I dont get any answer from my request. How to refund anyone can help?

Just done a 60k ride on a stock department store Kids BMX uploaded to Strava and added gear. No option for BMX bikes. A little frustrating. Any idea if that's gonna change? What's the work around when it's obviously not a Rd, tt or MTB?
