  • Anyone know why, for runs over 5k, Strava sometimes gives me a 5k time, sometimes doesn't?

    And/or is there a way to extrapolate a time for the first 5k of a run if Strava doesn't show it?

    I'm trying to run 5k at least once a week and I feel like keeping an eye on my time for it would be good. I've done (pretty much) the same route so far so I could just look at the time for the entire run but I'm mostly doing a little bit over the 5k and I might stop Strava further from home if I get the 5k done and feel fucked and resort to walking home and I will want to change the route (and therefor total distance) at some point.

  • This may not be the reason but I looked into this once and established that it will only log a time for a 5k etc. if there is a 5k stretch with start and finish at same altitude or a higher finish - if you are on a route that trends downwards it considers it descent-assisted, basically.
