Why has my Strava stopped working
Make sure you are in an area with good data coverage or, even better, connect via WiFi and tap on the ride to try again. Log out and then back into the Strava app. Turn your phone off and then back on again. If you're still having trouble, your phone may tell you that you have Unsync'd Activities in your feed.
Is Strava accurate for running
Under normal conditions, differences should be minimal when comparing distance or speed metrics on Strava versus the GPS device. Still, any minor inconsistencies are likely due to number crunching on both ends – Strava processes and analyzes the data in the file independently.
How do I correct distance on Strava
Instead in case you accidentally left your phone tracking in the background. That's super easy inside the app select the you tab along the top of the feed. Then select the one you want to edit. In.
How do I make Strava more accurate
To achieve fast startup and high-accuracy position estimates, you should provide:A clear view of a large portion of the sky. Any obstructions between the phone and the sky can adversely affect signal strength.Time to tune in to the signals from the satellites.
Does Strava overestimate power
According to Strava's algorithms I averaged 343 watts for this three hour ride. From many years worth of rides in the legs, I can confirm that Strava's estimated power data ranges from “somewhat accurate” to “wildly ridiculous” (and everything in between).
How accurate is Strava in measuring distance
Regardless of the length of the segment, the actual performance of the runner is normally within +/- 2 seconds of the results given by the Strava application. In 95% of cases, the measurement error will be less than four seconds.
Why are Garmin and Strava distance different
The reason this happens is that Garmin (both the device and Garmin Connect) rounds up distances, whereas Strava rounds down. Distances are always stored in meters on devices and then shown on Strava in the athlete's preferred units (i.e. miles/yards for imperial and kilometers/meters for metric).
Why does Strava show different distances
Under normal conditions, differences should be minimal when comparing distance or speed metrics on Strava versus the GPS device. Still, any minor inconsistencies are likely due to number crunching on both ends – Strava processes and analyzes the data in the file independently.
Is Garmin or Strava more accurate
Theres a huge discrepancy between the two. By 4km in on Garmin distance, Strava was only at 3km. By the time I finished, I'd travelled 12km by Strava and by Garmin over 15km. Obviously average speed was massively different as well.
Why is Strava estimated power so low
Strava doesn't know how aero you are, or how fast the road surface was, whether there was a headwind, whether you were hiding in a bunch, or if you got a cheeky draft from a truck, or about a hundred other variables! All of these and more will change the amount of power you need to keep moving forward.
Is Strava always accurate
Under normal conditions, differences should be minimal when comparing distance or speed metrics on Strava versus the GPS device. Still, any minor inconsistencies are likely due to number crunching on both ends – Strava processes and analyzes the data in the file independently.
Why does Strava shorten my runs
If Strava finds that the distance or "moving time" is incorrect, it will adjust the workout accordingly. This will of course affect the average pace and other values based on time and distance. Especially workouts recorded with the Apple Watch "Workout" app tend to show a shorter distance on Strava.
Why is Garmin not matching with Strava
To refresh the connection between Garmin Connect and Strava, disconnect Garmin Sync from your Strava settings, then reconnect. To disconnect, visit Settings in the mobile app or website, and select "disconnect". To reconnect, follow the authorization flow after selecting connect.
Is Strava correct distance accurate
Under normal conditions, differences should be minimal when comparing distance or speed metrics on Strava versus the GPS device. Still, any minor inconsistencies are likely due to number crunching on both ends – Strava processes and analyzes the data in the file independently.
Why does Strava show a different distance than Garmin
We know this has been a long-time quirk, and often a frustration for many athletes, including some of our own employees! The reason this happens is that Garmin (both the device and Garmin Connect) rounds up distances, whereas Strava rounds down.
How do I make my Strava distance more accurate
Click on the three-dot action menu in the left sidebar and select the option "Correct Distance." This can improve the quality of uploaded data by eliminating outlier GPS data like inaccurate GPS points and data that is inconsistent with the file.
Does Strava overestimate speed
Under normal conditions, differences should be minimal when comparing distance or speed metrics on Strava versus the GPS device. Still, any minor inconsistencies are likely due to number crunching on both ends – Strava processes and analyzes the data in the file independently.
Why are my Garmin and Strava times different
Strava calculates its own elapsed time and moving time (and maximum speed) from the GPS track log. This is why they a slightly different to the Garmin numbers.
