Log-in errors, no password reset.

I've had a funky Safari experience and now I can't log into my Strava account. Upon entering my password I get kicked back out to the naked start screen. Password reset gets me a reset email but upon completing that process, I get an error screen

I've used this Strava basically since its birth and been through multiple resets, log-ins multiple devices, etc.... any ideas?

What’s this graph mean

I teach high school math mathematics and statistics and I thought I knew how to read a graph. I completely don’t understand what useful information this graph is communicating. I can see meaning of what the axes are- pace and distance …this was a 40 minute run on a treadmill recorded with the Apple Watch. Is Strava confused about my data- or am I confused?

Upload of edited activities from Garmin to Strava

Hi, I have an issue with synchronisation from Garmin to Strava. Occasionally I am doing indoor rides at a gym. I am tracking the heartrate and duration with my Garmin watch and after I am done I edit the distance according to the stationary bike at the gym. I have disabled automatic synchronisation to Strava because of that, since I would need to delete and reupload with the correct distance. Now the problem: when I upload said edited workouts manually, the distance is set to 0km even though the workout contains the distance that I put in. Does anyone have a hint on how to do this? Thanks!

Should Canadians quit Strava?

Why support a US company while their government is hell bent on destroying the Canadian economy.

Duplicate runs issue, any advice?

So I had a run sync twice.

Sync 1: Set a new PR, 3 medals

Sync 2: Second best time (since Sync 1 wasn't beaten) and 17 medals (donno why)

I deleted sync 2, to keep Sync 1 with new PR

Medals are gone, where are my medals, I want my medals, I need my medals, also I want to know what the 17 medals were. It was my first long run.

Why use Strava with Garmin Watches?

I am starting to run, and while trying to decide whether to buy a Garmin or to run with my AW7 using Strava, a question arises. Why use Strava if you have a Garmin? What more does it offer?

Strava Routes - Best Practices?

Hi folks!

I've been using Strava as a tracker for a long time, but I've just upgraded to a paid subscription. The main driver for me is that I travel a lot and being able to search for routes when I'm in an unfamiliar city should be a huge help. For reference, I have an iPhone, a Garmin Fenix 6x, and I run. Or try to.

One thing I haven't been able to figure out is how best to follow a route that I find in Strava. I've tried the manual approach (just looking at my phone from time to time) but because I forgot to star the route, sometimes the app stops showing it, at which point I can't find it again (as I'm now physically in a different location) and then have to make up the rest of the run from memory.

I know there's been a lot of discussion about turn by turn directions from Strava, near as I can tell from reading that doesn't exist yet. A friend of mine suggested exporting the GPX of the route and bringing it into Garmin Explore. I haven't tried that yet though. I've also never tried loading a route onto my watch, though I've watched friends try to follow those to mixed levels of success.

So...any tips on what methods I should try or investigate further?

Thank you!

Strava Activity Time Discrepancy

When I engage in activities like footvolley and table tennis using my Garmin Forerunner 265s, I often pause the watch during breaks. However, I've noticed that Strava calculates the total activity time without considering these pauses. Is there a way to adjust the settings so that only the actual active time is recorded and synced to Strava?

This issue affects the accuracy of my activity tracking, as the total time shown on Strava doesn't reflect the true duration of my active play. I'd appreciate any guidance on how to ensure that Strava accurately represent my active time, excluding the paused periods

Tracking Treadmill Runs on Strava

How can I use Strava to record my treadmill runs accurately? I don’t have a fitness watch with a heart rate monitor, so I’m looking for the best way to track distance and pace using just my phone.

My strava activity always highlights the elevation gain instead of the pace for this one particular track route that I do. Does anyone have a fix so it prioritises showing the pace instead?

Concept 2 rowerg links removed?

Hi, started using Strava in December and the majority of my workouts are indoor rowing on the concept 2 erg. There is an option within the concept 2 app to upload to Strava directly, but when this is saved, the link to the concept 2 workout page is removed from the Strava workout. If I try and copy + paste the link into the description of a manually set up erg activity, it's also removed once saved. Is there an automatic ban on links in the description or something? All my workouts in the app are set to public so that shouldn't be an issue. Anyone else had this issue?

Zwift run didn't load correctly

I had a run that uploaded from zwift recently that has an odd error.

The distance is correct but there is no time or pace associated with the activity.

If I open the activity it shows an elapse time that is correct. TrainPeaks captured all information correctly and I have no error there.

If I delete the activity and replace it with the fit fill from TP it just brings back the old file.

Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

Is any treadmill run a virtual run?

New strava user here. Sorry if this is a silly question.

I’ve been logging my treadmill runs as virtual runs but I’ve seen people describe virtual runs as stuff with GPS data for a simulated run or a run composed of cumulative distance over a period of time, so I’m a little confused if I’ve been logging my runs correctly.

Strava account login issue

Hi everyone,

I am having a problem logging into my Strava account. When I enter my email address, instead of logging me into my account, a new one is created. This is strange. It looks like two accounts are registered with one email. I tried to find my “old” account through my “new” account and even started following it and it works. Have you ever had a similar problem?

Thank you for your responses.

Do your Garmin and Strava training loads match up? According to Strava I have been consistently over training for the past 3 weeks, but according to Garmin my load is very steady

Walk or Run Option for Mixed Jogging? Need Advice

Hi! I have a question. I'm not sure whether I should select the walk or run option.

When I exercise, I usually do 50% running and 50% jogging. My activity is set to run, but I want to see my step count. However, I also don't want it to be just walk.

Will my step count still be accurate if I run but choose the walk option on Strava? Which option is most best for me if I do 50/50 in run/walk?

Bontrager DuoTrap S + Apple Watch data in Strava

I've run into an annoying issue where I can't sync speed, cadence and heart rate data into Strava.

As far as I can tell, Strava won't talk to the DuoTrap so I'm having to do that via the Wahoo app.

But the Wahoo app won't talk to the Apple Watch, so I can't get heart rate data.

Surely in 2025 it can't be this difficult?

Heart rate not working

Am I missing something because I can’t for the life of me get Strava to show my heart rate. I have an Apple Watch U2. I just started using Strava to record my walks (with my dog just for fun) so I thought it would be interesting to see my heart rate while I’m walking but it doesn’t work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Intervallen distance

Tomorrow I 'd like to go for running intervals: 8x400m according to my schedule (+100m active pause). There are no marks on the road here, so I was preparing a route on strava, but I cannot put marks in this strava map? Is this possible? Or should I download another app? I do have a samsung watch but no garmin or something.

Service to add yearly elevation to Strava activities

Hey all, I’m looking for a free platform that can tally my elevation gained (hiking) for the year like the picture below. I’ve tried a few, summitbag isn’t free above 100 posts a year, strautomater does have an elevation tally…

Any ideas?

  • Unsure if this is really the correct sub - but shooting my shot anyway, will remove if need be.

TIA :)

[Bug Report] RPE Slider: Unable to Set Value to 8

Bug has not yet been reported to the Strava Community Hub; will be reported when reproducible

  • Android: v15 (2024-12-01)
  • Strava: v396.6

As demonstrated in the video, the RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) cannot be set to the value 8.
The slider can be accessed through the activity editor.
This issue was first identified a quite a few months ago, but not reported at the time as it was assumed that the developers would notice and address it themselves.
