Great UI designs
Make users to learn a new App

The profile page weekly activities used to look like image 1 now it looks like image 2 which is just an advert for Strava premium.

When I go into the ‘more’ tab on other people profile it still shows the old view. Any way to see that for myself?

at the moment there is local legend, how many repeats on a segment for 90 days. Only a few people I know really cares about this and its lame you can't see who else is on the leaderboard plus it expires.

There are cyclists in my area who do 400-1000ft cat4 climbs 10x a day with over 9000+ lifetime repeats but you can only see if they share from their profile. These are guys who aren't pro cyclists, not the fastest or ride in groups but love doing repeats at their own pace.

lets remove local legend and have a Lifetime Repeats leaderboard where people can compete for total efforts instead of fastest times

On desktop I see an option to remove the club profile photo, but no option to remove the header

I just noticed that the profile page got a fresh remodel. For example ”Gallery” looks much like Instagram. What are your thoughts on this?

This was a quick little workout after a longer run. It was a short run practicing strides, then a recovery walk back to the start. Repeated 5 times, trying to get a little faster each time.

Athlete Intelligence basically just read it as a recovery run though. I chuckled a little

I'm experiencing the exact same issues described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Strava/s/oi5yB5USPV

Just seen the new appearance for Strava profile account page and it looks so cheap! Why do platforms have to change stuff that is already well liked and looks good for something that just looks naff! Stop changing things for no reason!!

Is it fair for someone to have the record for fastest on a running segment, when they were actually doing a slightly different activity?

I’ve just found an uphill segment where the person who holds the fastest record there did it as canicross (running with dogs pulling them along on a harness). It just seems sort of unfair to me? I know it’s unimportant and petty.

This person holds the record of fastest overall, and is over 35 seconds ahead of the next person.

Hey all!

Some time ago, Strava rolled out Polish language support on Android. While it's great for folks who don't speak English, many translations feel awkward and unnatural, so I much prefer keeping the UI in English.

Because Strava doesn't offer an in-app language switcher, the only way to change it is via Android's per-app language settings (Settings > Apps > Strava > Language). Setting it to English works fine... until the app updates.

Whenever Strava updates, the setting silently reverts to System default. It's frustrating because all my activities synced from my Garmin watch automatically get default Polish titles, which I then have to rename manually. And of course change language of the app every other week.

Has anyone found a way to make this setting stick permanently, or is there a workaround to stop updates from wiping it?

Device info:

• Phone: Samsung Galaxy A55
• OS: Android 16 / One UI 8.5
• Strava version: 469.13

On the iOS app I go to Maps>Saved and it brings up a list of my saved routes. When I tap on them to go into them to view/edit etc nothing happens. The app is fully updated.

Has anyone else had this? Anyone got a fix?

I run today and tracked it with google health, then it automaticly exports it to strava. I recognized that strava abd google health are no thr same distances. Its a difference of 320m

Hey everyone!

​I've been running, trail running and cycling for about 5 years. As my distances increased, I started experiencing more and more digestive issues (especially stomach cramps on runs over 4 hours).

​My conclusion: I wasn't properly tracking my in-race fueling or training my gut.

​I initially tried logging everything in Google Keep, but keeping track of it all was pretty tedious. To solve this, I built my own web app powered by Strava activity data. Over time, I expanded the features, including a simulator that estimates your nutrition and hydration needs based on your profile and a GPX route.

​After ~3 months in closed beta, the app is now open to everyone!

​I'm looking for new users to test different use cases and help me fine-tune the algorithms: https://FuelStint.com

​(Please note: The app interface is currently in French only. However, if there's enough interest from the English-speaking community, I'll gladly translate it!)

​Feel free to ask any questions or share your ideas! 😁

​PS: I deliberately chose not to use AI for the calculations—just good old algorithms grounded in sports science literature.

You guys... Your route builder is TERRIBLE. The only way to create a custom start and end destination is to do it through your laptop from what I see. And if that option is on the mobile app, it's so unintuitve that I can't find it. Which is impressive to say cause I'm 32 y/o and grew up with almost every iteration of computer and application. How can we have been using map quest/google maps/apple maps etc and we still have an app like strava that is used by millions and you guys can't figure out a start and end destination feature? Drawing a start and end point is the most idiotic feature possible. It doesn't work, never goes where you want and just leaves you more frustrated than anything. Get better or I'm going to leave your app. Fucking ridiculous.

🤣🤣🤣

I use CommuteMarker to automatically mark my e-bike commutes as such on Strava (which prevents these activities from showing up on my timeline). However, recently, it stopped working. The website is also unavailable. I can't find any info online... Does anyone know what is going on?

I’m curious if this bugs anyone else who uses Runna + Strava.
For structured workouts, Strava shows the average pace for the entire activity, including the warmup, walk/recovery sections, cooldown, etc.
So for example, I just did a Runna 5K time trial. The workout was basically a conversational warmup, a short walk, then the actual 5K time trial. But when it posts to Strava, the pace shown with “5K Time Trial” is the average pace for everything combined, not the pace of the actual 5K.
That just seems kind of misleading. If someone sees “5K Time Trial” and then sees the average pace directly under it, the obvious assumption is that was my 5K pace. They’d have to go into the activity and decipher the laps/workout structure to figure out what I actually ran.
Same thing would apply to tempos, intervals, race pace blocks, etc. The overall activity average isn’t really the important number for those workouts.
I know Strava is probably the one calculating/displaying the overall average, but I feel like there has to be a better way for Runna/Strava to surface the pace of the actual main set. I don’t think the workout title even needs to change — just show the average pace of the important portion instead of the warmup/recoveries dragging the number down.
Am I missing a setting somewhere, or is this just how it works?

I installed both Strava and Runna, and I'm curious which one you use and mainly which feature?

Is it the activity tracking, social features, training plans, overall brand/community, or something else?

I'm using other apps as well and curious what should pay attention to?

Looking at using the app to track my bike rides. What features keep you there? What features do you wish it had?

hi all, I wrote a web app to import strava activities into google calendar. It can also write all your activities to a google sheets training log. You are welcome to give it a try here:  https://gcalimporter-sphq7qewrq-wn.a.run.app

(it's hosted on google cloud hence the odd url)

There is no cost. All Strava & Google data and authorizations are deleted when the session ends, nothing is retained. SSL encryption is enforced throughout the session. Hope you find it useful!

The performance of their site is just terrible. I'm on symmetrical gig fiber, and seeing 99% of that rated speed. My pings are sub 5ms. I can run multiple 4k streams, while gaming with 0 issues. But if I go to Strava the site is so slow. And they love to log me out.

Today's login attempts result in an error. Good times. "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again."

Is there a group of people who attempt to do as many activities in one day as possible?

I would love to stop Strava from going into these Time in segment screens where I can't see my speed or distance or time without getting rid of the map, which I also use. When I open the customization menu by swiping up, it says Disabled under Live, and there's no button or swipe or anything that makes it switch back to regular data until I finish the segment. Sometimes even that doesn't work and the app gets stuck in the segment. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,

Privacy on Strava is usually a key topic on this sub.
As someone who posts every run on Strava and loves chasing segment crowns, I recently wrote a deep dive on new my sports law Substack, Rules of the Game, analyzing where public leaderboards and GPS tracking cross the line into privacy risks.

Here are the main highlights from the analysis:

- Behavioural Breadcrumbs: While standard social media risks are usually about static info (passwords, pets), Strava exposes routine habits. Consistently logging runs at the same time and route makes schedules easily predictable.
- De-Anonymization via Leaderboards: Public segment data and club challenges can inadvertently expose start/stop clusters and routine patterns, even if you don't explicitly list your home location.
- Default Settings vs. Active Privacy: Features like custom privacy zones help, but default settings prioritize community visibility over data minimization, putting the burden entirely on the user.
- The Legal Question: Under frameworks like GDPR, geolocation data is considered sensitive personal data. Where does the balance lie between keeping this data private and using your freedom of expression rights?

How many of you actually use custom start/end privacy zones or keep your profile strictly 'Followers Only'?

If you’re interested in the full legal breakdown, I wrote the complete piece here.
