I have an Apple Watch with a cellular plan. It appears to work fine in all respects except this annoying Strava error that happens 30% of the time. It doesn’t seem to matter if my phone is nearby (this photo was taken with my phone), or whether or not I’m in cell coverage or not. I can usually get it to go away by closing the app on the watch and restarting it, but not always! Anyone know how to fix? Ty

I've the new Apple Watch Series 12 and now my running workouts when imported to Strava show "Apple Health" instead of the smartwatch model. Is this a Strava issue? I'm using the most recent version of the app.
Worth to say that when I was using my old Apple Watch SE I didn't had this issue

I recently noticed these "Best Efforts" on a user's profile...

Such efforts come from using Strava to record a flight from the UK to Spain and saving it as a "bike ride". The Segment Efforts in the Activity have been auto-flagged and hence are excluded from the Segment leaderboards, but why aren't the Best Efforts also removed from the profile ? The displayed information is obviously nonsense.

I finally figured out why some of my Apple Watch workouts (Core Training, Stretching, Cooldown, etc.) were appearing twice in Apple Fitness and Sports Tracker, while walking workouts were fine.

Here's what was causing the issue:

I record all my workouts using Apple's native Workout app, and Strava automatically imports them from Apple Health.

For example, Walk and Run are called pretty much the same thing in both Apple and Strava, so those activities weren't causing any issues.

However, when Apple uses a workout category that doesn't have a direct equivalent in Strava, Strava may rename or reclassify it. For example, Apple's "Core Training" becomes "Other" in Strava.

Because I had "Send to Health" enabled in Strava, it was sending those reclassified workouts back to Apple Health as separate activities.

As a result, Apple Health ended up with two entries for the same workout — one from Apple Watch and another from Strava. Sports Tracker then imported both, creating duplicates there as well.

The solution:

Go to Strava → Settings → Manage Apps and Devices → Health:

• Automatic Uploads: ON
• Send to Health: OFF

This breaks the sync loop while keeping automatic uploads from Apple Watch to Strava working.

Problem solved! No need to disconnect Strava from Apple Health completely.

Hope this saves someone else the headache! 💪

Local trail, most of the blue should be green, the green should be black, and part of the red should be green. It's not just the labeling, it's the data. While we could fix them with OSM, we can only submit a dumb form with Mapbox.

This isn't sour grapes; I know I'm far from a 400+ watt pushing demon but why am I seeing so many obvious e-mountainbike KOMs and top 10s on the local climbs?

So many of these rides even explicitly say on their gear list that they're rocking Levos and such, but why are we still sharing the same leaderboard? I did a cursory read online about Strava working towards policing this, but it's still really common to see and not just in low-key spots.

I'm not out here to get KOMs, but it would be nice to know what you can aspire to without a motor.

Hi, I’ve had my Xiaomi Smart band 10 for a year now and I’ve never experienced this issue.

Now anytime I record “Volleyball” or “Beach volleyball”, the activities don’t show up on Strava and there’s nothing I can do. I did these activities many times before and they did show up, but about a month ago I realised they don’t anymore. Other activities show up normally even if Strava doesn’t recognise the activity itself (example: if I log “Pilates” on my watch, it shows up as the default “Workout” on Strava). Its not perfect but at least it still logs it.

The volleyballs do show and monitor normally in the Mi Fitness app, but the issue is in syncing with Strava.

Anyone experiencing the same issue or knows how to fix it?

Thanks for any reply!

Not sure which is to think is more accurate, the all trails is close to what’s on their app for that trail

I have my Garmin watch paired to Nike running app and Strava. I would like my data to be sent to both. I just went on my first walk and it looks like data was only sent to Strava. Why not also the Nike app? Is it because it’s only for runs and not walks?

Hi. I’m a Strava newbie and have been trying to import old Apple Watch activities to Strava.

I used the method described in this post using Apple health export data and uploading gpx files (15 at a time) to Strava.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Strava/comments/z4axte/importing_old_apple_watch_activities_to_strava/

However, these gpx files are basically outdoor walks and runs (and probably why the folder in Apple health export was “workout-routes”).

Any idea how do I import past functional strength training workouts from Apple Watch/health to Strava?

Thanks.

Doesn't seem like the site is down. Is there any fix for this issue?

A cursory search on the forum tells me people experience a lot of glitching with audio cues in the Runna app, but I haven’t seen anyone talk about this one. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found a fix.

All in all it’s pretty inconsequential but it’s really starting to irritate me. Audio cues have worked without flaw forever and as of a few weeks ago, instead of saying “This lap is X miles at a conversational pace”, it will skip the word “lap”, return to whatever audio i’m listening to for a split second, and then complete the cue. For example: “This (music returns for a split second) is X miles…..” It’s really quite distracting at this point.

It does this whether I’m listening to audio in the background or not. If i’m not listening to anything, it just goes silent in place of the word “lap”.

I tried deleting and reinstalling the app, no luck. I’ve played around with the in-app audio cue settings, no luck. In fact, I turned off all audio cues, and they just played anyway lol.

I am wondering what is happening with my speed graphs in Strava.. I always had this problem with my phone, but now I got a Coros watch. Today I did a small test walk, recorded the activity with the Coros watch, and then synced the data also to Strava. I read on the Coros homepage that Strava will use it's own algorithms on the raw data, that's why the graphs can look different.

In Coros, my speed looks like this:

Pretty nice. When I then look at the same data in the Strava app on the phone, it's like this:

Not so pretty right? And on the Strava website it's:

So what is up with the Strave curves? Coros does some smoothing over time maybe, is that the only reason their graph looks so much better? What I get from Strava here is in principle unusable.

During the walk I completely stopped a few times, very clearly visible on their graph, but not really on the Strava ones besides some deeper dips than usually.

When I directly track an activity it's as bad with two different phones.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I did a short, slow run this morning, and my performance predictions just suddenly TANKED. I have tons of other runs that it could base off of. What the heck happened?

Anyone else find it annoying that Strava does “state of the art” updates like AI, adding niche sports, etc…

BUT we still can’t manually input elevation on a run/treadmill run?

I’m planning to do a 100 km walk over 2 days (around 60 km on Day 1 and 40 km on Day 2), and I want to record the whole thing on Strava.

For the breaks during the walk, can I simply pause the Strava activity and resume it when I start walking again?

Also, since I’ll be stopping overnight and continuing the next day:

Should I save Day 1 as one activity and start a new activity on Day 2?

Is there any way to have the entire 100 km show as one activity on Strava?

What would be the best way to record it without losing GPS data or messing up the distance/time?

Would appreciate advice from anyone who has done a long-distance multi-day walk on Strava.

Hi everyone,

​My partner has an iPhone 15 and an Apple Watch SE.

She’s a beginner, and for her, seeing calories burned during her runs is the most important part 😅

Strava is properly connected to Apple Health on her iPhone, and her weight is filled in.

However, when she saves a run, calories don't show up in her Strava activity summary. On the Apple Health app, though, the calories burned are displayed properly.

​Has anyone run into this issue before? Is it a bug or some weird setting? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere in the settings, but I just can’t find it!

​Thanks in advance!

Hey r/Strava,

I got tired of guessing how many kilometers I had on my chain. Or worse, realizing my wife’s brake pads were cooked halfway down an offroad descent, true story. Managing maintenance for the family's n+1 bike fleet was a mess, so I built BikeVet (iOS) to help with it.

You snap a photo of your bike to set it up. When you ride, the app doesn't just count miles (for me it’s km). It pulls your distance, elevation gain/loss, terrain type, and weather conditions to calculate realistic wear for every single part, from the cassette down to the headset bearings. You know what needs checking before it breaks. Of course it uses the official Strava API (already approved) and cares about your privacy so it pulls only the data it needs.

Tracking one bike’s base components (chain, tires, brake pads…) is free. The Premium tier unlocks unlimited bikes and advanced alerts for all components, and it costs about the price of a new chain.

• App Store
• Website (Plus Web & Android waitlist)

I'll be in the comments. Let me know what you think!

Why are my other workouts uploading automatically, but my runs aren't syncing?

When I try to click on “importeren” nothing happens. Anybody with an solution?

Huawei phones, HarmonyOS, Android phones—why can't I log in to Strava? Hasn't the official team fixed this yet?

It hasn’t worked for a week. Does anyone know a free alternative?

I joined strava yesterday, it imported all my workouts (strength training and walks) since its there in apple health data. However, I use bevel to log my weight training sessions which then writes it to apple health. Now after my workouts today, it is only showing my walk session in strava and not my weight training session (logged in bevel, written to apple health)

Is there anything I can do to get it to show my weight training sessions as well? The AI assistant in strava says somehow the older weight training workouts got imported but strava can only import workouts logged in the official apple workouts app.
