I’m super new to Strava but I tried to map a 5 mile run today and it recommended I run on super busy roads with unsafe traffic patterns and pass the homeless shelter on my way to one of the highest crime neighborhoods in the area… i wanted to run on the river… in the other direction… you can see on the heat map that people don’t really run on most of the roads they recommend. Do we think Strava is trying to give me intentionally lame routes because I’m still using the 30 day free trial, or is it just bad at planning runs?

I just started using Strava as I’m getting back into running. I ran a half marathon not super prepared and there was an opportunity to ride a rollercoaster midway through the race so obviously I did. I forgot to pause my Strava because I honestly don’t even know how yet.

Should I delete this race from Strava so I can actually track my mile time improvement or should I just race the rollercoaster and become an elite athlete?

Oh and how do I pause Strava when I want to do fun stuff on races again in the future? Thank you!
