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?

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

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.

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.

My Strava doesn't count the kms walked. How do I change this so it does?

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?

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?

Hey strava peeps FYI looks like an achievable target 300 minutes and you get 30% off + a chance to win 1/100 pairs of expensive leggings for completion.

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.

I have a problem that never occurred before, even thought this season i have 200km distance recorded on strava, my profile page Statistics is blank. Anyone knows what could be the issue and how to fix it ?

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.

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 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.

Hi, Strava is stripping autopause data uploaded from a Garmin 1040 so the ride time appears longer thank it was... Autopause is enabled on both the Garmin and on Strava... Any suggestions/fixes? Thanks

Do I need to be a Paid Subscriber to draw a segment? I just want one segment drawn. Can anyone perhaps draw it for me?

title says all but additional context is: I currently use my samsung s21 and huawei band 8. Huawei health does not seem to sync well even if im at a supported country.. I tried all the solutions but its not working, reinstalling, logging out loggin in etc etc. If you have a solution that would be better actually!

My budget would be around 80$ only.. So I dont think I could afford even a 2nd hand garmin for now.

thanks!!

Hi, everyone!

I hope you’re all doing well.

Unfortunately, I lost access to my questionnaire files, and with them, all the responses I had collected. Everything was unexpectedly deleted… I feel bad for having taken up your time, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

But I’m back again (the important thing is to never give up!), and I’m still conducting an academic study on how gamification elements in Strava impact user engagement with physical activities. I really need your help! This study explores how features like segments, kudos, challenges, and achievements influence our motivation to stay active.

If you’re a Strava user and can take a few minutes to answer the questionnaire again, I would be extremely grateful. I truly appreciate your patience and apologize for taking up your time once more.

Your participation will remain completely anonymous, and the data collected will be used solely for academic purposes. Every response is crucial to understanding how Strava supports fitness goals and how gamification can enhance the app for its users.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity! Your insights are invaluable and will make a big difference in this study. If you have any questions, feel free to comment here or send me a message.

Hello Moderators, (again, sorry)

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to request permission to share a questionnaire related to my academic research study in your subreddit. The study focuses on understanding how gamification elements in Strava (e.g., segments, kudos, challenges) influence user engagement with physical activities.

Here’s how I plan to collect and handle the data:

1. Data Collection and Purpose:

The questionnaire is designed to gather user insights about their interaction with Strava features and how these influence their motivation and fitness habits.

The collected data will be used exclusively for academic purposes and will contribute to a study on gamification in health and fitness apps.

2. Privacy and Confidentiality:

All responses will be anonymized. No personally identifiable information will be collected, and the questionnaire does not include any questions that could compromise user privacy.

The data will not be shared with third parties, published, or made public in a way that identifies individual users.

3. Voluntary Participation:

Participation is entirely voluntary, and users are free to opt out at any time without providing any justification.

If approved, I will share the post in line with subreddit guidelines and will include a clear disclaimer about the research purpose, data usage, and anonymity.

Thank you for considering my request! Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional details about the study.

Tried removing and putting them back on, no luck.

All my videos that I add looks to be gray in Strava. Don't know how to change it. My phone is Samsung S23. Heard maybe it is HDR10+, but tried changing and nothing helps.

I had a KOM on a segment on live segments of 30 seconds, previous KOM was 34 seconds. In Strava it shows me at 40 seconds and 3rd place. I filed a ticket with Strava and they said I stopped at the end (don’t think I did) so there’s nothing they’ll do. Is this common? Maybe poor gps signal?

Will Strava pull a segment of a ride for a personal best or is it from a start of activity to that prescribed distance?

For example I leave my house and ride 150km, first and last 25km are warm up and cool down. Would the middle fastest 100km be my PB? I averaged a ride over 33.3km/h, it had been slower to start, so the end 100km was over that speed yet my 100km PB is over 3 hours. I don’t recall stopping at all in that portion of the ride.

My iphone app when i go on strava is working fine, it has all my data on. Todays runs are on there sent from garmin this morning but when ive signed in through web browser there isn’t anything at all on my activity feed? No runs from myself, any of my friends and so on. Just wondering if anyone else is the same.

All my videos that I upload to strava seem to have gotten this weird gray filter. Looksk so bad. Anyone knows why its been happening?

Hello, I have recently started using the Strava app (and also started doing 5Ks). I am a 62 y/o M and I am working on a) getting better times; and b) not killing myself :). I am in the Apple ecosphere, phone and watch.

I have been using heart rate to pace myself, going to 160 BPM then walking until I get back to 140, pick it up again.

Is there any way to do the following (either or both):

1. Give a notification at every .25-mile mark, so I get a buzz every 1/4 mile. This would allow me to walk to a certain distance to start running again, without having to constantly look at my watch

2. Give a notification when heart rate reaches a certain level going up and again as it goes down. Again, so I do not always have to look at my watch.

If it is not possible in Strava, is there anything that can do that for me in the Apple system.

Many thanks for any insight into these requests.

I tried 20STRAVA25 but it didn't work for me in Thailand.

Any other codes current?
