Strava frustration! W9r3.

Now about to embark on last run! But can anyone explain why Strava is only ever recording part of my route? The time is accurate but the route is always missing a chunk. I've given up on using it but would really like to record my last run of C25K accurately. Help!

You don't say what part of route is not shown. Do you have a privacy zone set up which will hide a portion of your run? There maybe a satellite issue around that area. I can't say I have had a problem with Strava. Good luck with your last run.

I don't know much about Strava (never used it) but my recollection is that Strava has sections called "Segments" where runners (and cyclists) compete to win the fastest time. Maybe your app is set up to only record the time that you spend in a segment?

Hi. It could be you have auto pause turned on. It will only record when you are running not during your warm up walk or cool down. To turn it off go to the screen as though you are going to start recording, settings & auto pause. It will say on or off. To change it touch that square and then slide button to off on running. There are 2 slide buttons, one fir running one for cycling.

Hope this helps.😁

Hi. I read this post earlier, but did not reply. The answer came to me whilst I was out running myself. Sometimes with Strava it does not record some parts of a route as it does not recognize it. I do a 5K and a 7K loop which is on paths on a main road. So Strava has no problem. But I also have done a 3.5K route through housing estates, and Strava does not recognize parts of this route as part of it cuts through an estate.

Perhaps try a different route.
