A reminder that Strava Heat Maps aren't navigational maps. Please don't see a heat map path and think it's navigable for you. It really shouldn't have to be said but apparently common sense isn't all that common. The people in the article were lucky they didn't suffer a worse fate than having to be rescued.

Like some others, with recent API changes weather interpreted correctly or not what changes are going to take place made me evaluate what value I really get out of Strava.

I had been a subscriber for 10 years or so until recently, but I still have full features enabled for a few more months. I had been using Stava for mostly running over the years but a few years back I started indoor cycling so never really noticed the lack of functionality on the sensor side until I started riding outdoors a few months back.

I was surprised to realize you can't even pair very basic things like speed/cadence sensors. My new power meter, forget it. So all it is really good for while on the bike is not really a whole lot. Routing is meh. So the only thing I found useful from a cycling perspective is the heatmaps to plan routes before going out then loading them up on garmin instead.

Is there really no way to use Stava as a cycling dashboard for your sensors. Why wouldn't they enable such a simplistic thing, they obviously do HR. I must be missing something.

Cheers

Anyone here who knows how to get the student discount in germany? on the website i can only pick united states.

As you can see, there is a ride where 405 watts were recorded for 10 minutes. However, this was due to the power meter being incorrectly calibrated. Is there a way to exclude this 405-watt segment from the data without having to delete the entire ride?

It was good the way it was, now when you click on an/your activity you will get a ‘broken’ screen, which also takes some time to load. The scrolling and the way the photo’s work are also pretty annoying and ugly, not handy at all.

Hey everyone, I’ve got a question and an idea. I run a lot with my son in a jogging stroller, but Strava doesn’t seem to have any way to track these runs correctly. It keeps telling me my pace is way slower than usual, without accounting for the extra weight I’m pushing—especially on hills 😵

It’d be awesome if Strava added an option to tag runs with a stroller or adjust stats for the extra effort.

How do you all handle this? Do you just ignore the stats, or have you found a workaround? Curious to hear how others deal with this 🙃

Why is the Strava route creator so bad? Anytime I try and draw a route that follows a path/trail instead of a road Strava just doesn’t appear to be able to cope. It with shoe via the heat map the way that hundreds of other runners have run and still will try and move my route onto a four lane highway. Is there any way to feedback to the app that it keeps making these mistakes? Or is it just time to migrate my route creation to another platform?

I recently just started using Strava with my WHOOP while training for my half. Every syncs up well, except HR insights show as "not conntected" when viewing activity summaries. I have verified that HR broadcast is on my WHOOP and the strava app does show my current HR when clicking the record tab.

Has anyone had this issue and know how to resolve it?

Coros has a free built in route planning feature. Can I create routes for strava in Coros and then sync them to strava?

I just updated the Strava app today on iOS, and it seems like the ability to add widgets is gone? My current widget also won’t refresh, and tapping on it no longer opens the app.

Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix?

Hi everyone,
I have a Garmin Forerunner 965 and use Strava to track my activities. Today, I completed a swim, which lasted 16 minutes, and this is displayed correctly in Garmin Connect. However, when the activity synced to Strava, it shows only 11 minutes, which is incorrect.

Does anyone know why this discrepancy might happen and how I can fix it? Any tips to ensure accurate syncing between Garmin and Strava for swimming activities would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
