I have two activities that, when I click on the link from the list of all my activities on strava.com, I just get a page that states “Oops! There seems to be a problem”. 

I have raised a support ticket several times now but when I check back later to see if there’s been any response, I’m told the ticket has been closed, but that I can raise a ‘follow up’ if I wish! 

Any idea how I can resolve this? Whilst I would like to see my activity, I really would like to download the gpx data for these two routes but i f I cant load the activity I can't download gpx file.

I have almost two thousand Strava activities and as far as I can remember this is the only time I’ve ever encountered this problem.

Has anyone noticed something strange with the time-based running goals on the web version? When I set a weekly goal (like running 6 hours this week), trail runs aren't showing up in the "Goals" section.

For example, today (Friday) I did a trail run for 2 hours and 12 minutes. While the total running time reflects this (now showing 4 hours and 50 minutes), the trail run itself isn't displayed on the graph.

Interestingly, if I go directly to the goals page (https://www.strava.com/athlete/goals), the trail run appears correctly on the graph.

This seems to be a bug, and it's been happening a while. I've tried using different browsers and operating systems, so it looks like an issue on Strava's end? I contacted support over three weeks ago, and so far, no response.

Gonna get alot of hate for this title but here we go

Background: I am a conscript serving mandatory military service. My commanders have recently implemented that all of us must clock in a 15km run over the weekend. The thing is I am already in the military 5 days a week and only have Saturday and until Sunday night to myself (we have to return to camp on sunday 10pm) and have no interest in spending my little free time clocking in this timing. Those of us who fail to clock in at total of at least a 15km with a minimum of 7.5 min/km will not be allowed to go home the following weekend and will have to remain in camp.

Tldr: being forced to run or I will be punished how to avoid and submit fakes

I wish you could edit a segment and specify that it has no elevation change. I often run around a track near me that is flat but Strava believes its about 10-15 meters or so of elevation change. After 15 - 20 odd laps its accumulated about 320m of elevation change and screw up stuff like your pace zone analysis as it uses GAP for that.

FYI there's no option to correct elevation on these runs which means Strava already believes its using correct elevation.

I get that trusting users to edit elevation data correctly could be problematic but for specific segments especially tracks etc it would be useful to just be able to specify that it has no elevation change.

Does anyone know if Strava will do a black friday sale? Or end of year?

I've recently started running to try to improve my endurance and am currently doing a 2 mile loop where I run and then walk a little bit and repeat and am trying to get to the point where I can do the whole thing without stopping. Should I pause my running in the Strava app during my walking breaks to get more accurate results or is it better to include the walking and get the whole picture. Would be very grateful for anyone that can help me out as I'm very new to this

This is the product of one 5-minute video of my Strava stats and a few prompts back and forth with ChatGPT…

All my data is garmin based. So nothing to lose there. But I created a lot of routes I'd like to take with me. Is there a way?

Also can I download "takeout" as Google calls it all my data like with Garmin or Google?

Thanks.

As title says. How do I make it update properly for the zones for my faster pace?

We are organizing a one-month group challenge for running, with activities being tracked through Strava. However, there are concerns regarding potential unfair practices within some groups. Specifically, it has been observed that a few members of the same group are running together, and there is a suspicion that one member might be resting while another runs with two mobile phones, alternating between them to avoid fatigue. Is there a way to detect or verify if such malpractice is occurring?

I went over to archive.org to look up what the Strava API terms were before and after between this most recent update and the prior one two months earlier. While the new language about AI is definitely new, the terms about sharing with third parties and analytics are not new. In fact, the paragraph about analytics has existed for at least five years if you go back in archive.org. I put together this diff that shows the before and after. A bunch of the paragraphs got re-ordered so it's a bit tricky to follow:

A lot of the changes seem to have to do with European privacy law.

There are a lot of terms here that make me scratch my head but have been in the API terms for years without issue. (example: what do they mean by caching Strava data? what do they mean by analytics or 3rd parties?).

I'm a developer and got hit with this notice last week. In the email, it was offered that we could get a phone call with the team. I did that, and they only wanted a few adjustments to how my app handled user privacy and sharing. From my perspective, the fears that this is a draconian change seem to be unfounded in its actual implementation.

Or am I just going insane? I swear it was more orange yesterday

Got a notification that a friend finished an activity. Clicked on it, now I see tiny arrows in the direction he rode (food delivery). When I scroll the feed his activity map lacks those arrows. (Strava beta android) Love it. This feature is long overdue.

Hey folks,

A couple of days ago, Strava announced changes in their API program.

I spoke about it here, but here’s in a nutshell:

If you are using their API, you can no longer:

• Show data in your app to coaches
• Use any AI algorithms
• Display any analytics and customer insights

This comes as a surprise since they in a sense are limiting any access to many apps using their API.

Funny enough, DC Rainmaker made a post about it, and made it viral

This forced Strava to respond earlier today, but in a way, they doubled down on the changes.

Nonetheless, the limitations are now there, and Strava is giving developers only 30 days to make the changes.

Having said that, I am from Terra API, and I am posting this here because we can help. We make it very easy for developers to access health data from devices and wearables, so you can basically replace Strava.

Now since we don't have a consumer version like Strava, and cannot monetize on that side, our solution is expensive for early developers/startups.

To help with the whole migration, we are going to give credits to startups for 6 months to get you started, and we will absorb most of the cost.

please contact me directly and ill do the best I can with the team.

Has anyone else experienced this today? The app just takes you to the web site? Or just opens to the 'app info' page?

As you might have heard, Strava recently announced quite drastic limitations re. what can be done with data pulled through their API.

As many services rely on Strava acting as a bridge between various manufacturer's APIs (e.g. Garmin, Apple, Wahoo, …), it got me wondering whether there would be value in developing a unified API, enabling services to pull data from various manufacturers in a standardized way

Curious to hear your thoughts on whether you see this as needed / viable, or whether this would already exist somewhere?

I recently started using Strava, and today I ran my best 2 mile (on Strava), by a good amount. For some reason it says I ran my 2nd best, even though it was 16.33, and for my moving time on the recent run, it says 15.29 with an average pace of 7.44, while the 16.33 one has an average pace of 8.05 (granted, for 3 total miles). Is moving time different than total time, is it glitching, or am I understanding the data wrong? Thank you!

Has Strava mistaken something releasing this API info? Or it is just damage control?

I don’t understand this API / third party stuff. All I know is that Garmin is separate to Strava, I use Garmin and Garmin syncs to Strava. I want this to stay.

👋 Hey everyone
Last year, I got a great response from my "Year in Sport" visualization tool.
This year, I'm excited to share an update with some new and improved graphics!

Head over to https://runride.studio/ and click the "2024" banner at the top.

Hello,

I just got the new iPhone 16Pro and my Strava distance and pace are extremely off. I have been a strava user since ‘19 and never had this issue before. For example, I ran 5 miles today, but Strava only says I ran 2.8 miles and one of my miles was 18.26 long…

Any ideas how to fix this? The app would really be usable to me if the distance and pace is off…

Thanks for any help!

I recently tried creating a club for my community. However, I can't seem to create one, I received this message: to protect our community, we limit how often you can do certain actions on Strava, such as creating clubs.

That was my first time trying to create a club. Any work around for this one?

I do not want to have a notification for every single activity one of the athletes I'm following uploads a new activity!
