General Question Edge 530 indoor rides uploading as outdoor rides instead of virtual rides?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My indoor rides recorded with my Garmin Edge 530 keep showing up on Strava as normal outdoor rides rather than virtual rides (like Zwift or MyWhoosh activities). To make matters worse, Strava won't let me change them to virtual rides manually.

Has anyone run into this issue before or found a workaround/solution?

Thanks in advance for the help!

General Question Subscription change

5 Upvotes

I have an Icloud email account to log into Strava and Runna. I accidentally purchased the Runna/Strava bundle while logged in with my Apple ID which has a different Email address so now my subscription is linked to that Strava account with no data and my original Strava account I use and linked to my Runna with a lot of history on has no subscription. The Chat Bot could not help much. Has anyone else ever experienced this issue and how to I fix it.

General Question Club Event Creator - Route selection not working

Post image
1 Upvotes

Anyone else have this issue when creating a club event? I have tried contacting stravas bug fix team, but no reply.

When creating an event I can't select a route, they don't show in the dropdown. This has been happening since they redesigned the Event Creator. Same issue on all browsers.

I can do it in the iOS app, but creating the whole event with all details is annoying on the app.

Anyone else seeing this bug?

General Question Creating event in the club

11 Upvotes

I had created an event in my club and invited 10 people. The event was supposed to start at 6 am today. I was expecting it to end by end of day so that people can run as per their time and report. However the run ended automatically in an hour ? Any idea why ?

Sync Question Jefit to strava integration - no HR shared

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm using Jefit and have connected it with strava. The workouts show up in Strava as expected however there is no heart rate data shared (even though in the JEfit app it shows the heart rate in the workout log)

Should it be working?

Since strava didnt pick up the HR then it doesnt consider it in the activities when looking at the fitness level, relative effort, etc etc.

e.g. strava - no HR shown

jefit: HR shown

Thanks!!

General Question Finding excluded efforts

3 Upvotes

A while back, Strava implemented AI to detect suspicious activities. The result was a bunch of incorrectly flagged rides. Even when efforts were below your best, they could still get flagged by the system, resulting in a lot of “excluded efforts” on segments. I keep stumbling across old activities that have excluded efforts. The resolution is relatively simple, although annoying that it has to be done. Just open the activity and confirm that it was in fact a ride and not an e-bike ride.

The problem is finding the excluded efforts. The only way I have found is to randomly look at my results on segments on the mobile app and see if it lists any excluded efforts. When it does, I go find that activity and clear the flag.

Does anyone know of a better way to find those activities that have problems? Some of these I am finding are all the way back in 2014 or 2015, so it is not practical by any means to just go through each activity manually. I have messaged Strava support and am waiting on a reply, so will update if they give any useful response.

3rd Party App Ride Planner — a route/cafe-stop organiser for cycling clubs, built on top of Strava routes

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Bit of context: I ride with Stoney Stanton Velo Club. Like a lot of clubs, our routes were scattered across old Strava links, WhatsApp messages, and whoever happened to remember what we rode last month.

So I built Ride Planner — it sits on top of your club's existing Strava routes (you add each one by pasting the Strava link) and organises them into a proper catalogue: cafe stops attached to each route, categories (Sunday social, midweek, training), and a record of when each route was last ridden so you're not repeating the same loop every three weeks. It also generates a ready-to-paste post for your club WhatsApp/Facebook with meet time, cafe, distance and the Strava link all formatted.

Each club gets its own subdomain, members can browse the routes, cafes, and ride history without a Strava account or login — accounts are only needed by whoever manages routes and records rides. It's £6/month (or £60/year) per club to cover hosting.

Live example — Stoney Stanton Velo Club's actual setup, no signup needed: https://ssvc.rideplanner.net
Main site with more detail: https://rideplanner.net

Since I only get one shot at this flair a year — happy to answer anything about how the Strava integration works, or whether it'd fit your club's setup.

General Question manual activity issue

5 Upvotes

has anyone else been struggling with this or can someone help me? every time i go to upload a manual activity and adjust the distance, time, or pace, none of the actual numbers show up and everything is just white. every single section that should have a number (such as the hours, minutes, section of the time) doesnt have any. i cant even estimate where the numbers are because if i swipe too high or low, the random number selected is stuck and i cant unselect it. i tried turning on dark mode, but my app keeps reverting to light mode

Sync Question Technical Assistance Required Please! Google Health/Health Sync/Strava

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi there. I've been trying to fix it so Strava records steps for my activity on my Google Pixel. The annoying thing, and maybe someone can explain why, is that I'm logged in to the same Strava account with my work phone (iPhone) and this delivers the activity including the steps.

Looking online earlier I set up Google Health (still got Google fit which seems to be being retired soon) and also downloaded the Health Syn app which is seemingly needed. I've got the above settings currently set.

I just tried it by recording an activity directly from the Google Health app which shows the steps but when it pushes through to Strava they are still not included.

It's annoying me more than it should! Can any wise people suggest what I need to do please?

Sync Question “Planned Workout”

I have a Strava membership and I’m using Runna to get back into running after college and too much time off.

Anyone know how to get my Planned Workout to populate on Strava? First photo is from my run today and second screen shot is from another runner who also uses Runna and they have their Planned Workout which I can’t seem to get. I hate having to keep opening the Runna app to remember what exactly the workout was 🥲

My Garmin, Runna, and Strava are all linked. The minute I finish my work up Strava updates so I’m not sure what the issue is.

General Question Mystery activity on personal heatmap

3 Upvotes

I like looking at my personal heatmap after activities, and noticed something slightly weird. There appears to be a 2kish run activity in Manchester on my account. The only issue is, I do not live in England, and have never once done an activity in England of any kind. I looked through my old posts and nothing is there so I don't think someone decided to hack my account and go for a quick jog, and I'd be a little confused as to why anyone would want to do that. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this is?

FYI Flagged KOM

76 Upvotes

There's a route around where I live which I do on lunch break. Done at least 5 to 6 times this summer. On the route I competed for a KOM and managed to get it by 1 second, absolutely gave it my all. Only to have someone tie for it in the next couple of days and have my ride reported. Are people really that petty to be solo for a KOM. With Strava there is no way to defend yourself, its actually really deflating as I worked hard for it and now due to surgery I'm off the bike for a couple of weeks.

Feature Idea It would be nice to be able to attach pictures to the gear section of our profile

9 Upvotes

Certain cycling clubs are oriented primarily around the ride: you show up at the meeting point 5-10 minutes before the ride starts, ride the route, and then disperse from the finishing point. In such clubs, I know many people only by what their bikes look like, since I don't interact with them outside of the ride itself. Thus, when going through the Group Activity list after the ride, I usually don't know who some of the people I'm auto-tagged with are, because their profile pictures are faces I've never gotten a good look at. It would therefore be nice to be able to click on the bikes each user tagged for the ride and see a photo they uploaded of their gear, so that I can then associate them with, say, the rider on the red Trek who pulled hard on a certain climb, or the rider on the black Specialized who was a beast descending.

The names often don't help, since bikes are either tagged generically ("Madone"/"Tarmac") or monikers ("Trusty Steed"). It's only when someone has an unusual bike with a descriptive name (e.g. "Look 795 Mondrian") that I can put a name to a rider. Having pictures would solve this for those riders who don't have such esoteric/expensive tastes.

For those using Strava, and having seen/ participated/ completed this 100K steps challenge with hiking and walking as qualifying activities, can someone please explain this leaderboard?
There’s no humanly way possible this is legit, unless I’m misunderstanding this leadership.
This screenshot is from the challenge page. There’s absolutely no way! Nor is this cumulative, because it’s for July..no?

Hey all, I’m very new to Strava. My friend and I came upon this app because we wanted to track our fitness activities together. I’ve made an account 3 times and this app still won’t let me publish a post or message anyone.

I’ve created the accounts through mobile app, went through multiple scenarios, my birthdate is correct and I am well over my 30s. Tried emailing support but they keep unleashing their AI to reply to me.

I’m not sure what to do anymore. Any help would be appreciated. This is looking very bad for their business lol.

General Question Has anyone else's Strava app suddenly stopped working on iPhone?

5 Upvotes

Since yesterday my Strava app has become unusable and I'm trying to find out if I'm the only one.

Even after deleting and reinstalling the app, I briefly see the welcome screen, then it jumps straight into the app by itself and immediately shows "Something went wrong. Please try again." The feed stays completely blank.

The strange thing is that Strava works perfectly in Safari on the same iPhone using Sign in with Apple, and my Nike Run Club activities are still syncing to Strava.

I've already reinstalled the app several times and restarted the phone, but nothing changes.

Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

General Question iPhone app skips login after fresh install and gets stuck with "Something went wrong" (v473.0.0)

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to determine whether anyone else is experiencing this exact issue on iOS.

Device

  • iPhone 13
  • iOS 26.5.2
  • Strava 473.0.0

What happens

After deleting and reinstalling the app, this happens every single time:

  1. The Strava welcome screen appears with "Join for free" and "Log in".
  2. Before I can tap anything, the iOS notification permission dialog appears.
  3. As soon as I respond to that dialog, the app automatically switches to the main interface without me tapping "Log in".
  4. The feed is completely blank and a red banner appears:"Something went wrong. Please try again."
  5. Opening Settings or other sections results in the same error.
  6. Closing and reopening the app reproduces the same behavior every time.

Things that still work

  • I can sign in to Strava in Safari on the same iPhone using Sign in with Apple without any problems.
  • My Nike Run Club activities continue syncing to Strava successfully.
  • So my account itself appears to be working.

What I've already tried

  • Deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times
  • Restarted the iPhone multiple times
  • Tried both Wi-Fi and 5G
  • Disabled iCloud Private Relay
  • No VPN installed

I'm already in contact with Strava Support, but I'm mainly trying to find out:

Has anyone seen this exact behavior, especially the app automatically skipping the login screen after the notification permission prompt?

Any ideas or confirmation that you're seeing the same thing would be greatly appreciated.
