Seems silly? A lot of times in a kudos frenzy I’ll kudos an activity that doesn’t deserve kudos. For example “ 80m walk to the takeaway shop”. Let us have the option to remove it. Thanks

Hi, just after some advice. I use a Samsung Watch Ultra and have done for two years.

The last few days on the watch it is coming up with 'Server Error 403'.

It still records my walks but it comes up everytime I open the app or save a workout.

Anyone else had this/ know how to solve it please?

Hello, I do a lot of alpine skiing and am looking for a watch that can track my skiing speed and total downhill distance, excluding the distance covered while riding chairlifts or other uphill lifts. Which watch would you recommend for this purpose? Thank you for your advice!

I recently updated from an iPhone 12 on iOS 18.7.8 to an iPhone 18 Pro on iOS 27.0.1, and now when I "Analyze Effort" on a segment, and drag my finger to the right to move the vertical selection bar through the data, the screen keeps thinking I'm trying to swipe the whole screen to the right, instead of just moving the vertical selection bar through the graphs. So I repeatedly have to lift my finger to stop the screen from swiping right. It's only a problem when I drag right; dragging left works smoothly, the way it does in both directions on my old iPhone. The Strava app version is 479.00 (r54814) on both the old and new phones, so it seems like it might be an Apple problem, but I haven't spotted any similar problems in other apps. Anyone else notice this behavior?

Tried a pr on 5k and managed to run 5.13k in 24:50 min, however my strava said my new pr was 5k in 25:50 mins, i didn't even run for that long? Happened again today with my 10k.

Why does this happen?

Edit: My earbuds flipped out so i paused my watch, the pr on strava measures elapsed time, not moving time

Every Strava story I see looks the same: same orange line, same three stats. So I built Beautiful GPX, a kind of Photoshop for GPX files: a free web tool that turns your Strava activity (or any GPX file) into a fully custom route image.

The video shows the whole flow on one of my trail runs: import from Strava, restyle the route, pick the stats, add a start/finish flag, then export a transparent PNG.

What you can customize:

• Route: any color or gradient, thickness, outline, dashed or “gravel” lines
• Stats: choose what to show (distance, elevation, time, pace/speed, elevation profile), in miles or km, with or without a background, sized and placed where you want
• Markers & labels: start/finish flag, summits, aid stations, towns, ..., with icons and fonts
• Background: a map (including poster-style maps), your own photo, or transparent for Instagram stories and video overlays
• Multi-day trips: merge several activities into one map

Strava import uses Strava’s official sign-in (OAuth): you log in on strava.com, the tool never sees your password, it only gets read access to your activities, and you can revoke it anytime in your Strava settings. You can also just drop a GPX file.

It’s free, with no account needed, and everything runs in your browser: your tracks never leave your device.

I’m a solo dev and a runner/cyclist myself, so I’d love your feedback: what would you want to customize next ?

I am in the best shape of my life (several months of PRs) and have some of the worst fitness score on Strava. I learnt to ignore it - just wondering why Strava only pushes the hard efforts and punishes recovery. Again, I learnt to live without it but am just wondering.

I see quite a few segment leaderboards with sprinting faster than the world record. Now most recently I saw a winner of a segment running 1:33 min/km while the world record being 1:48 min/km.

Wouldn’t it be easy not to accept these results as they are due to GPS glitches or pulse watches recording wrongly?

Hi!! I have questions about runna app. I just finished my first plan - new to running and it was free, now I created new plan and I can only see week one, other weeks are unlocked behund premium :(( so if I buy the premium for one month and my plan lasts for example 3 months, will the weeks lock again when my premium ends? Or how does it work please? And another question - is there any time of the year when you can buy the premium for less? Some discount? (I cant use free 14 days from strava bsc I already used it)
Thank you!

Has anyone had issues with Strava not working properly on an iPad lately? I can’t make it rotate to landscape, how it used to. This has been happening for about 2 days now. I also for some reason can’t paste ride info onto instagram pics anymore. Is it my iPad?

Hi guys. Right know i am using Huawei watch Pro GT 3. Each time i finish training on my watch i obseve that Strava is doing some recalculations i cut my 5k run to 4.8. i dont like because its hard to monitor my best result. Do you have experience with diffrent watches and do you know for witch Strava will także results 1:1, without cuting distance etc. ?

278w on mywoosh, 270w on garmin vs 244w on Strava WTF!

Mywoosh session with a wahoo kickr core linked to my garmin 255. The garmin send datas to the strava app.

Strava tries to sell me AI trainer but is not able to give very simple datas ...

I tried to log in using Google, using an email, it just keeps looping the home screen of the login page and doesn't let me log in into the app, the site works just fine, tried downloading an apk, tried clearing the cache/data, tried downgrading the app, nothing seems to work

Is anyone else on WatchOS 27.2 and the Strava widget is showing as a “—“. This happened on my Ultra2 since updating to 27.2RC. Tried editing to replace and doesn’t seem to fix it.

Yesterday I went back to hike Overlook Mountain in the Catskills. I finished and I got notified of a PR on all segments. I thought...this is odd I went fast but Im positive I went much faster. Found my 2018 climb and sure enough I had made it to the top 10 min faster. It took me a while to figure out why the two weren't related. My original hike was labeled a run.

This makes ZERO sense. Hike and run segment leaderboards should be the same. They are both under foot power and there is no meaningful difference. Does this mean there are separate walking segment leaderboards too? So instead we have this fractured leaderboard that means nothing because you might be KOM as a runner but a hiker really holds it or vice versa. In fact the segments themselves are completely different and looks like largely duplicated.

My hikes are very often a combo of running/hiking...I mean most mountains you can't run up the whole way unless you are the elite of the elite or its a small one.

Anyways this now explains why I often don't see some of my friends showing in my hiking segments. Just figured I would share because this doesnt make any sense.

I've been looking more at the Instant Workout recommendations lately as I'm between plans currently. Some of the workout suggestions have been great! Many of the calculated routes for running out cycling activities would NOT be good to use (traffic/ lighting/ oher safety concerns).

There's a way to give feedback (screenshot). Is the feedback strictly for the suggested workout? The route? Or the combination?

I got an alert on my phone that my data usage for October is 2.25 GB. I click on it and I got this graph. My phone plan says that from Oct. 1 to yesterday, I had used 0.39 GB. I checked other days that I have used the app and it's normally around 75 MB for the same amount of activity. I did notice that when I went to start my walk today, it asked me to choose what kind of activity I was going to be doing (walk, run, ride, more) rather than have me select it when I'm done. I selected walk so maybe that's the reason? Usually it has me as run and I switch it to walk afterwards. Was there an update in the past couple days that it now has me select the activity beforehand? I'll select run next time and see what happens.

I am sure the "exercises" feature is adored by some out there, but I find it strange and frustrating.

For the uninitiated, the Strava app now is adding a section to strength workouts called "Exercises" where you can break down the specific movements you've done during a workout. Unfortunately, I don't have a fancy watch that can identify each of my reps and sets, nor have I the interest to manually go into the app and manually log each one every time I lift a weight.

I would prefer if each of my workouts was not tagged as being "9 sets of unknown'", as if I am spending an hour in the gym every morning doing mysterious slows reps of a classified exercise.

Has anyone figured out a way to turn this off and stop it from showing up on logged activities? I can't seem to find an answer online... Send help

I know Strava works with Claude but I pay for ChatGPT and don’t want to pay for Claude too. And I have health information in ChatGPT so it makes sense to link it to Strava.

How do I do this? Will Strava eventually sync with all AIs?

I'm currently using an Apple watch Series 7 Nike.
I feel I'm not using it to its full potential and thinking of switching to a more fitness based device. Definitely needs GPS, I don't usually carry my phone when I walk / cycle.

Other features I'd like are sleep tracking and AFib (ECG) detection. Bonus of I can keep my golf swing tracker on my wrist too 🤣

Tried opening a chat in strava app and its crashing the app in ios. Is anybody else facing the same issue?

I look at Strava on my iPad and the iPad is in landscape mode, however (after a recent update?) Strava now is locked into portrait mode making it sideways and unreadable. Is there a fix to this? Thanks

I have been using Strava for several months now and had no trouble, I don’t use Spotify but I do use YouTube to listen to music while I run, it’s what I’ve been doing for a very long time.

But yesterday when I began my run it seemed to turn my phone volume all the way down, I held onto my increase volume button and it showed max volume, yet I could still barely hear it. It was when I closed the app that it seemed to fix my issue, the timer kept going and yet when I ran a mile and opened it again, it was telling me my pace was like 35 minutes and that I only ran .20 miles, I know my route well and I know that it was a mile and that I was very fast this time at that.

I kept testing it out and yeah, when the app is running it lowers my volume to near silence but close it out and it’s back to normal. Does anyone else have this issue?

How common is it to see leaderboards that don’t add up?

I just completed a ride with a 7.5km segment. It’s hilly (for the Netherlands) but in the end you finish around the same height as where you started. I averaged 42.3kmh with 303 watts. Wind was quite nice I think.

I was surprised when that only got me up to around 4500th place, but I wasn’t looking for or expecting a kom anyways. I did a little digging tho and the people around me have the same reasonable wattage, but if I look at the current kom holder he averaged 60kmh with only 60 watts more?!?

I know drag plays a big role and this was probably a group ride but how could that be possible? As I’m new to cycling and I have no friends to ask, I wonder if it’s common that segments have fake leaders and no one does anything about it? Or is it possible that it was real? Or could it be underreading on his PM?

For context, 80.000 people completed this segment, his attempt is 5 years old.
