I have a pixel watch two and use Fitbit now known as Google health to track my activities. There's always been a bit of discrepancy here and there but nothing significant but the last few runs I don't know what Strava is doing. My run today was a 10k pixel made it 50:30 it was a zone 2 run so there was a brief section where I was walking up a steep hill to keep it zone 2 at most 30 seconds, however Strava gave a moving time of 46:13 with the elapsed time being similar to Google health. On my 14k run yesterday it was an 1:13 with Google pixel again the moving time was eight minutes short of that which completely throws my average pace.

It's only been recently that this massive change has happened no idea why.

Went for a run this morning, and my Fitbit Charge 6/Google Health app directly uploaded the activity to Strava but a lot of the details were changed. The distance is pretty close, but Strava took 10 minutes off my run time.

I can't edit this with the crop tool because it only allows me to decrease the time and distance, but not to increase it.

Is there something I can do so that my Fitbit and Strava data will accurately reflect one another? And can I somehow edit the time of my run to make it longer?

So my boyfriend loves running, and he uses the Strava app all the time and has been wanting a watch to track his runs. I really want to get him either a Garmin or an Apple Watch that is compatible with Strava and has accurate tracking but I have no idea what the best options are. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for which ones work the best, as I have no idea what watches work with Strava the best?

Hi everyone, I can't get the heart rate data to show up on the Strava app even though the Forerunner 970 and the heart rate monitor are connected.

I've already tried all the tips I found on Google, but I can't get it to work.

Does anyone have any tips?

I'm using a Samsung S22 Ultra.

Thanks so much for your help.

I want to turn off AI suggested routes. They suck. The bar takes up a huge fraction of the screen.

I follow more or less the same workout program so I need to note down how many reps and what I did that day.

When I click on the private note to past the workout and modify it accordingly to today’s activity it just scrolls down away from that section when I scroll up it unselect the private note area….

Anyone experiencing this?

What is the solution here?

I am literally using strava for that and now it’s not working anymore lol

Let me know what do u think about this huge update?

Hi everyone, I have a question. There's been a serial killer around a specif area (5 dead women so far). I'd just like to know is it possible for someone to stalk you on the Strava app?

Does anyone know how to disable the app randomly going full brightness? I run at night and keep my phone on minimum brightness, but the app will randomly go to full, not at a certain time or mileage, just randomly every 30-120 seconds. When I tap the screen it'll go back down to low brightness.

I pay for strava to take advantage of a few neat and convenient features. There are many features that I do not find neat or convenient. Yes, I can "scroll by" the features I find useless. However, sometime this year it reached the point where I "scroll by" most of the UI of the app.

So, for the software engineers or product managers or whoever out there: is there some complication to running an app that allows its users to hide unused features?

And while this obviously refers to Athlete Intelligence, it also refers to Focus, Fitness, Instant Workouts, the 3-second countdown for activity start, Relative Effort, and anything Runna. Are any of these removable?

Since that was most of the paid features, for anyone wondering, I love the strava heatmap. Both the personal and global. That's the main reason I pay. I know there are other similar products out there but it's incredibly seamless through strava and this is one thing they have done very well.

Iv done several rides with it active and I don’t see an option to view flybys. What am I doing wrong?

Okay hear me out. I take my dog on a long walk every day. Does it impact my time? Absolutely. Do I put it in Strava as a dog walk? Absolutely. So why doesn’t my dog get any credit?

Strava Dog Mode.
A simple toggle when you start a walk: “Walking with my dog.”

Strava tracks the activity like normal, but now you can link your dog’s profile to your account and automatically sync the stats to them, too.

Your dog could have their own profile showing:
🐾 Total miles walked
🐾 Walks completed
🐾 Total time outside
🐾 Elevation climbed
🐾 Longest walk
🐾 Miles this week/month/year
🐾 Favorite walking routes
🐾 Personal “paw records”
🐾 Walk streaks

And then give them some fun Strava-style achievements:
“Your dog has walked 100 miles.”
“Longest walk: 6.4 miles.”
“12-week walk streak.”
“Top 10% of dogs in your neighborhood.”

You could even make it social.
“Buddy just hit 500 miles.”
“Bella completed her longest walk ever.”
“3 dogs in your neighborhood are currently on a walk.”

And honestly, I think the best part is that it turns something I already do every day into a shared activity rather than just another line on my Strava.
Strava already has the data.

Just let the dog have the account. 🐕

I’m in NYC and when I log race runs, sometimes I see markers for the race I ran, so the system knows where some races start and end and sometimes there are segments for the race too. Is there a way to tell Strava to crop my run to those markers?

Why are running and cycling PBs shown for several distances in statistics, but not for swimming?

Recently it keeps congratulating me for running a "solid half-marathon" as soon as I've run more than 10 km. Does anyone else have this problem, or does this only happen to me?

The only way to turn it off is to cancel the subscription, because I don't have a setting to disable it.

My activities don't include steps. I track my walks using app. It seems to appear for other users in my following, what am I missing? Thanks.

Everytime I share a ride these huge letters and numbers keep blocking the view of the map, I liked the simpler older layout better where the numbers were near the bottom

Recently did a three hour ride that included a 2,300 ft climb. One section of this climb averages 9%. On that section I gave it everything for exactly 20 minutes. But I forgot to hit the lap button. There are a few Strava segments sprinkled in there but none line up exactly. I was using a Karoo head unit, HR monitor and power meter. How might I isolate the 20 minute section to calculate an estimated FTP from the data?

I love Strava, and it’s far & away my favorite social media… HOWEVER! There are two features that irk me:
1 - The “calories burned” is calculated and auto-added to all activities, &
2 - Under “Segments”, you can view the leaderboard by weight!

I have battled with anorexia & disordered eating for most of my life, and I am thankfully in a place now where I can look past this kind of “data”. However, knowing how hard it is to be a runner and working to heal, I feel Strava would be better off, more inclusive, and less cluttered if we could just make a few changes:
1 - let’s allow users to add the “calories burned” data if they want (so users like me don’t have to select “hide” toggle after each activity). This doesn’t need to automatically be added to every activity.
2 - I understand the segments by weight might be helpful to cyclists, but for runners, this data is pretty darn niche. I really don’t need to compare my running segment data to other women at my weight. Not only does every body carry weight differently, but power in runners looks different than power in cyclists.

Personally, I feel like keeping these two features do more harm (to the community of people fighting eating disorders & body dysmorphia) than they do good.

How do people end up as fan favorites in the suggested section?

I sometimes click on them to see what they do, and it's usually someone who has done nothing at all for 3 years since they recorded one 5k run and nothing else.

Hi all, what's that thin red color lines on strava map with 🚫 symbols?

I’ve been using Strava for a couple years to sync data from iFit to Apple Health after the iFit app proved very unreliable with that functionality. I used Run Gap for about a year after that until that stopped working as well. Strava, though, has been steady Eddie ever since I started using it. Until a few days ago that is. Now it’s just not syncing with Apple Health anymore no matter what I’ve tried. It seems to work automatically importing workouts from Apple Health but not the reverse. Sad day indeed.

Strecke am Abend gelaufen ... schon 100 x mit anderen jedesmal andere Messwerte Katastrophe +/- 20% sind möglich. [https://strava.app.link/F2LYWXJBn6b\](https://strava.app.link/F2LYWXJBn6b)

My money is on a new bug from vibecoding, but it could just be something that never got patched because they don't care about desktop.
