Strava accounts actively being targeted by scammers

2026-06-10T04:49:01+00:00

Thought I'd make everyone aware that Strava accounts are being targeted by Pig Butchering scammers actively targeting users. If you're not familiar with the practice, Google it.

I recently accepted a connection request which at first seemed pretty normal, but early on I started realising that the person in question was using a fake identity profile and trying to lure me into communicating outside of the platform. Eventually the person's profile was deleted (probably reported by others who were also targeted). Fortunately no harm was done to me personally, but a one can never be too vigilant these days.

Cybercriminals have expanded beyond traditional apps and into niche fitness communities. They exploit the inherently trusting nature of the global fitness community to find affluent targets.

In the absence of Strava picking up on these fake profiles and notifying their users, I thought it would be useful to communicate this more broadly and make everyone aware. Be a little more careful in who you're accepting to be connections with. I know this is obvious, but with all the different virtual training apps, sometimes it's too easy to assume that people got your details from one of these platforms, and it's ok to be connected with strangers from another part of the world.

Stay safe out there.

This rider has been puzzling our local cycling community for years

2026-06-09T13:26:09+00:00

Dear r/Strava community,

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on a Strava athlete from my area. (Reportedly around 50 years old.)

For years, many riders in the local Swiss cycling community have questioned some of the performances on this account. What makes it unusual is that despite posting extremely strong results and appearing on basically all leaderboards, nobody seems to know who this person is or has ridden with him. The account also has Flybys disabled, hidden start times, and, more recently, hidden power data.

One example that raised eyebrows was a segment effort showing over 1,050 watts for more than a minute. On another local climb (roughly 3 km at 6%), the leaderboard is packed with WorldTour professionals and elite riders, yet this athlete appears among them with a reported average of 526 watts for 4:33. (See Picture)

What makes this particularly unusual is that this is not an isolated case. Similar performances can be found across countless local segments, where this athlete consistently ranks alongside or ahead of elite-level riders and professional cyclists.

Of course, unusual numbers alone don't prove anything. There could be explanations that I'm unaware of, and I don't want to accuse someone without evidence. However, these performances have been discussed locally for years, and many riders remain skeptical.

I recently questioned some of the results and was subsequently blocked, so I can no longer view much of the profile.

What do you think? Do these numbers seem plausible to you, or do they raise concerns?

Edit: Shortly after I started discussing this account publicly, the athlete's profile appears to have been set to private.

Edit 2: Needed to remove the picture and the linked account.

Getting Zwift rides to add to weekly totals

2026-06-10T03:59:46+00:00

I’m trying to get my Zwift ride to add to my weekly mile totals, I like seeing the trend line. But I just did my first ride on Zwift, and I can’t seem to get it to add to the weekly total. I haven’t had problems with my trainer before Zwift, that counted fine. Any idea?

Heat Map Removal

Is there anyway to disable this feature?

Strava art and ideas to make easy runs less boring

2026-06-08T21:57:09+00:00

Curious to hear how other people make their easy runs more interesting when motivation is low?

As runners, I think most of us have had days where the thought of another easy run along the stretch of pavement around our neighbourhood isn’t especially exciting. Recently, I’ve started experimenting with Strava art, and it’s been a surprisingly good way to get out the door and add a bit of variety to weekday runs.

Over the past week I’ve run a couple of bird-shaped routes, and I’m planning to try the routes in photos 3 and 4 this week, any other suggestions would be appreciated. I’ve also enjoyed building out my Strava heatmap and gradually street-mapping different parts of my neighbourhood, but Strava art feels like a nice middle ground between exploring and still getting some easy miles in. I’ve also found following the turn by turn navigation to be a nice distraction to focus on when the run is feeling long

I’ve found the route-planning website Routedoodle pretty useful for creating routes. Thanks to u/RouteDoodle for creating this handy tool

Curious what you guys do

Am i using strava wrong?

2026-06-09T07:56:17+00:00

I have recently started taking care of my health and going for a walk and started to run. Alsoo today for the first time ever, i ran a kilometer continously.

But what im doing is as soon as i step out of home i start recording on strava. Now i have to walk a kilometer to reach the intersection where my friend and i meet and start running.

What happens is that at the end when i reach home that's when i finish the recording, so it tracks everything about the walk and run whatever i did. On the other hand, when i see people upload their strava stats they just record their main running. As i have also started to run now should i start doing that or keep going the with recording everything?

Strava elevation gain bug

2026-06-09T18:11:12+00:00

A random guy logged 11km of elevation gain in a single 3 and a half hour activity. I thought strava didn't use barometric data so it's probably a very rare bug.

Segment full of Swift performances, how do I flag them?

2026-06-09T10:59:21+00:00

This segment Staccata Orfanelle (DH) | Segmento di pedalata Strava a Bologna, Emilia-Romagna is crowded of people who clearly did it in Zwift.

This is obvious because

-they all did it as part of the same identical ride, which is equal to the "Trofeo Bologna Race" in Swift, which uses the course of the 2019 Giro prologue TT.

-the course they all do is not feasible with traffic, because it's on one-way roads, and they also do it both ways, something that in the Giro wasn't possible

-they all did it in different days, which would imply that the roads were closed for traffic for all these days, something that just didn't happen

-this 300m downhill segment is made by everybody at exactly 84.7km/ average speed, which is unrealistic in itself because of the presence of 2 hairpins, but mostly it's the consistency of the results that is unbelievable

-some rides have "Zwift Trofeo Bologna Race" in their name

So, how do I flag their rides to Strava? "made on a virtual platform" isn't available as a choice, probably because it wasn't intentional that Swift would leak their rides to Strava this way, like they were actual rides.

Side question: this is the first time I see a Swift time on a physical segment. Is it something that happens often? All these times were logged in a specific period of time in 2020, so I guess that this was just a temporary bug.

User continues flagging my rides through other accounts !

2026-06-08T13:31:33+00:00

Hello, I have previously posted this ( how a petty woman keeps flagging my ride because I took a QOM from her). I have let that ride go despite sending to Strava over 10 requests to look into this.
Few days ago I did the same ride again ( it is my usual short ride ) and I did get another QOM. Today she flagged it again ! then started flagging other rides in my profile!
My account is private and I did block her, but I think she is creating other accounts or I don't know exactly, because her QOM is there SINCE 2018 ! How petty can someone be?
And my biggest question is why is Strava accepting random users flagging with no checks ? You pay a subscription to see these segments that random people can take you off of it?
The segment in question.
The user in question.

This has really gotten to me and it feels pathetic but I just want her to leave my rides the hell alone, did anyone deal with such things?
Thank you for reading my first world problem.

Simple: I just want my training log week to start on Sunday instead of Monday

2026-06-08T19:55:56+00:00

And I KNOW this isn't the first time this has been discussed. It's wild to me that even with all of the new features rolling out - the muscle maps on strength activities, and the animated maps - we still can't set our own preferred week start day. I would have tagged this as a "feature idea" but it seems too minimal for that, and yet it would greatly improve my experience.

I hate it when this happens

2026-06-08T21:28:36+00:00

Does this happen to anyone else? Using strava on my iPhone and for some reason it will sometimes just stop tracking. Very frustrating and I don't find out until the end of my run. Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Add more contrast to dirt map rendering

2026-06-08T23:16:42+00:00

I'm a user interface developer with over 20 years of experience, so maybe I'm just being a nitpick, but I think the route rendering for dirt maps needs more contrast. The Strava orange + white combo makes it hard for me to follow sometimes, especially on longer, more complicated routes. The white stripes in the route should be black instead, or a color that's dark enough to really make things pop. Does anyone else have strong opinions about this?

Filter activities by gear?

2026-06-08T18:32:37+00:00

I've seen references to filtering activities by the gear used (from activities page, select sport, then select gear), but that doesn't work for me. It just shows me the details for that particular gear choice (in my case, one of my several bikes). It doesn't actually filter my activities based on the bike I entered.

I'm a free user. Is this perhaps one of the paywall-hidden aspects of Strava?

Inaccurate fastest 1km

2026-06-08T22:15:32+00:00

I did an interval session this morning and my fastest 1km interval was 4:57 but Strava’s results section says my fastest 1km was 5:04. It’s not a PB so doesn’t make a whole lot of difference, but curious what’s happening. Is it just like Strava tax on the interval where it’s actually 0.99km but this is rounded?

Vertical Kilometer analysis tool

2026-06-08T20:28:28+00:00

I posted recently looking for a vertical kilometer analysis plugin, which doesn't seem to exist. I made a simple one that finds the fastest vertical 1000m within an activity (requires .gpx upload, no Strava integration) - or you can also specify other elevation numbers (e.g. find your fastest 100m climb). It shows the fastest segment on the map, including a highlighting the elevation profile. Also provides a summary picture to add to your activity :)

https://seanstephensen.github.io/fastest-vk/

Disclaimers:

ChatGPT wrote all the code - I just wanted a functional tool, I don't care how it's made
This is technically my tool that I guess I'm "advertising" here, but I gain nothing from anyone using this. It's just a script on a github page. There are no ads or anything. I moreso hope that other people will find utility in this, if they want :)
I make no claims about data security. I assume .gpx files are just analyzed and forgotten. Source code is all there if you want to review. Upload your own files (or others'!) at your own discretion.
