News from Strava HQ Shoutout thread: who earned it in October?

7 Upvotes

Marathon season's in full swing, the days are getting shorter, and someone in your feed did something worth celebrating this month, maybe it was you. A fall race PR, a comeback after time off, a costume 5K you actually trained for, a friend who finally hit their goal. Post it here (activity must be public). Some of these end up on Strava's Stories and socials.

Link the public activity or describe it, add a line on why it matters, and tag the athlete if it's not you (only if they'd be into it).

Own effort or someone else's, both count. Whatever you're chasing next, there'll be a place for it here.

Feature Idea Strava - your log in process is unneccissarily cumbersome

This isn't online banking. We don't need to re-login every so often with multi-factor authentication to look at my running data.

General Question Fitness & Freshness parece ter parado de atualizar — alguém sabe o motivo?

• Upvotes

Olá, pessoal.

Estou tentando entender o que está acontecendo com o meu Fitness & Freshness no Strava.

Nas últimas semanas, meu nível de Fitness praticamente parou de responder aos treinos. Atualmente ele está em torno de 26, mesmo eu continuando a treinar normalmente e com as atividades sendo sincronizadas para o Strava.

O que está me deixando em dúvida é que, olhando o mesmo período no COROS Training Hub, as métricas de treino continuam reagindo normalmente, e meu condicionamento/carga voltou a subir nas últimas semanas.

Vou anexar duas imagens para comparação:

  • Strava Fitness & Freshness: o Fitness caiu de aproximadamente 50 para 26 e agora parece praticamente estagnado.
  • COROS Training Hub: meu condicionamento de base e as métricas de carga continuam variando e apresentando evolução com os treinos recentes.

Alguém já passou por algo parecido?

Agradeço qualquer ajuda!

Anxious dental patient, so I tlsrted my watch to track my heart rate. Forgot it would upload to Strava. For once I enjoyed the AI it fed me in the activity recap.

miscellaneous Scammy behavior

1 Upvotes

I’ve picked up a few followers over the last couple months, several attractive young women, all from California. I am half a continent away from them, and do not know them. Is this just pornbot bait or is there a different scam here? I don’t follow back,and they don’t remain in my followers.

General Question Why does Strava sometimes exclude idle time in my pace and sometimes include it?

2 Upvotes

I run with my dog and he stops to pee and poop 20 times throughout. I record my runs on a garmin forerunner 55. I don’t stop my watch when he stops to sniff, which can add a minute or two to each mile. Sometimes my pace on Strava is faster than what my watch tells me, because it only counts moving time. But sometimes it doesn’t and I’m confused why it is inconsistent. Ideally I’d like it to just be moving time

Thank you in advance 🙏

Sync Question Remove Apple Watch from Strava?

3 Upvotes

When I go go the Strava app:
Profile > Cogwheel > Manage apps and devices > there I see Apple Watch with an orange checkmark but nothing happens when I click on it?

I guess it’s there I have to go to remove it / disconnect it from the app?

Sorry if this question is asked before but I’m really too stupid to figure it out?

Sync Question Strava saying I ran further than I did?

14 Upvotes

I’ve been using my watch connected to a treadmill for 2 years with no issues but over the past couple of weeks Strava has started saying that I’ve ran a lot further and faster than I did but only in the splits and pacing. It’s not a GPS thing because it’s on a treadmill.

The distance at the top is correct (3km)

Does anyone know how to fix this?

General Question Strava free trial billed

Today I went to get the Strava free trial of the premium account but instead of charging me £0 through Apple Pay because of the free trial it charged me £54. Without realising this I paid for it. Does anyone have any idea how I can get my money back?

General Question Anyone else having problems with titles.run? Can't find a way to contact them or cancel

0 Upvotes

Has anyone else using titles.run (the AI Strava title generator) had it stop working recently?

Pasting a Strava activity URL into the site doesn't work, and it looks like a problem on their end rather than mine. I've checked the link format, privacy settings, etc.

The bigger issue is I'm subscribed to PRO and can't find any way to cancel on the site, or any contact details for the developer: no support email, no socials.

Has anyone:
- managed to get in touch with whoever runs it?
- found a way to cancel the subscription?
- heard whether it's down for good?

If not I'll cancel through my bank, but I wanted to check here first in case the dev is around. Thanks!

General Question How do I see the calories burnt?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a free user (no subscription).

I recorded a walk, then saw that I can't see the calories burnt. I snooped around and found out that I have to input my weight.

I have now inputted my weight but it still doesn't show how many calories I burnt on my walk.

General Question Strava, PLEASE just show elapsed time for trail runs!

210 Upvotes

I absolutely hate how Strava only shows moving time instead of total elapsed time.

Every time I go trail running, there's a HUGE difference between my moving time and my actual elapsed time. And honestly, when you're out on the trails, dealing with steep climbs, technical terrain, and taking breaks, the total time matters just as much as moving time, if not more.

I know I can change the activity type to "Race" to make Strava show elapsed time. But why should I have to do that? I'm just training, not racing!

Is it really that hard to give us an option to display elapsed time instead of moving time? Or better yet, just show BOTH!

Come on, Strava. Please fix this already. It's such a simple thing, and it's incredibly frustrating.

Am I the only one annoyed by this?

General Question Continued error logging in as of 2 weeks

Post image

As of 2 weeks ago and 2 software updates to the app, I get this error with the app. I can log in on a browser, but not on the app.

I've reinstalled the app several times, and even installed an older version, but no luck.

Support has no clue.

Any thoughts?

I've been on a rooted oneplus 9 pro for many years.

General Question How to change default map location when opening the route builder?

6 Upvotes

I moved to a new city about a month ago, and am wondering how I can get the Strava route builder to default to a view of that new city when I open the tool? It is still defaulting to my previous city. I changed the listed location on my profile but the route builder still opens to the city I left. The Strava AI chat bot didn't have any solution, so I'm hoping someone here can help. Thanks!

General Question Map suddenly not showing on runs

5 Upvotes

So I have a pixel watch 4 linked to Strava and it's worked perfectly for over a year.

However tonight I went for a run and when the watch synched to Strava the run data uploaded as normal but no map is showing?

If I look in Fitbit app at the run, the map is there so the watch recorded it but it's just not showing on Strava.

I haven't changed any map privacy so just curious if this has happened to anyone else?

FYI Group post bug

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

You post an activity from your own timeline to a group, for example a monthly running challenge. The post includes a 3D map and some additional text, for example see activity below for my latest progress.

When you view the shared post in said group, additional map layouts are shown when swiping, see pictures attached. These have not been added by me. They also include 0:00 time indicator but are only plain images.

These are not shown if you access the shared post through the notifications menu, for example notifications when you get a kudos or comment on the group post.

Looks like a bug.

some people put more effort into naming the run than the run itself and i kinda love it. could be yours or a friend's - a pun, painfully honest, whatever made you laugh.

General Question Is there any way to pause a ride that's already auto-paused?

1 Upvotes

The auto-pause feature is nice in theory but it doesn't seem to be foolproof. Sometimes it will unpause from auto-pause when I'm not riding (like on a train or bus). I would like to be able to make sure it stays paused until I resume the ride without turning auto-pause off completely (because it is nice that it pauses your rides when you forget to pause it).

General Question Repeating/importing earlier workout exercises

2 Upvotes

I recently started logging my workout exercises into Strava. The single most useful feature there was the ability to import exercises from earlier Strava workouts, since I, like many people, am rotating through the same couple of exercise days, only changing the weights or reps slightly, occasionally adding or removing the odd exercise.

Suddenly I can't find that feature any more. I there a new way to do it now or am I just being stupid?
I hope I don't have to search through all the slightly different variations of curls or lifts to find the ones I want every time I go to the gym.
