Strava
The Strava integration is mainly for importing routes, but it also enriches activities with names and descriptions.Important: What Strava Does and Doesn’t Do
Strava does NOT sync your activity data to Stride. You need Garmin, Wahoo, or the Stride app to record activities.Due to Strava API limitations, we’ve decided to not support Strava activities syncing to Stride. Even before the limitations, Strava heavily manipulated the data and it is looses accuracy. With Garmin, Wahoo etc and fit files, you’ll always get the most data possible including things like gear changes, battery information etc
What Syncs with Strava
- ✅ Activity names
- ✅ Routes for weather information
- ✅ Stride activities upload to Strava (if done via the app)
- ❌ Strava activities do NOT download to Stride
Why Connect Strava?
- Automatic Upload: Your Stride activities appear on Strava
- Workout Names: Most atheletes add better names to their workouts with Strava.
- Route Library: Access your Strava routes
