I recorded a cycle yesterday on my bike computer and uploaded it to strava when I was done and noticed the time is different on strava and power and speed. And I know other people it’s happening to. Which have different bike computer’s only thing we have the same is we pay for strava.

Strava only accounts for actual time not elapsed time. So if you stop at a stop light, sign or the café even if you hit stop it still only accounts for actual ride time. [image] Moving Time, Speed, and Pace Calculations What is the difference between moving time and elapsed time? Elaps…

You have to look closely to see Elapsed Time: [image] My Garmin is set to always be recording, even when stopped.

average and normalized power should be about the same, within a couple watts.

Watts is changed by 7. My question is why does strava change the data

Tadhg, Will you screens shot what you are referring too?

I never look at Strava power numbers, but here is that same ride from yesterday on 3 different analysis tools: Analysis Tool Average Power Normalized Power Garmin 171W 191W TrainingPeaks 171W 190W Strava 178W 188W With Strava seeing 4 minute difference between elapsed and moving dura…

I’ve never looked into it deeply but I think Strava autopauses at 0mph whereas Garmin is usually set to something like 4mph. Add that to rounding differences and things can be different. Power I believe is similar and also affected by the auto pause.

[image] Observations I made many years ago: turn off auto-pause on your recording device Strava is best used for analyzing segment times don’t worry about small differences Strava segments under 30-60 seconds can have serious errors because of how Strava maps your GPS to the segment

I not really worried about the time more about tue average and power
