My watch has my run in the fitness/health apps. It usually auto-updates to strava. My only thought is that I updated my phone to ios 26 last night before my run and updated my watch to IOS 26 AFTER my run.

Is there a way to force the upload? I have tried to log out of strava and back in, confirm that the settings are all correct, and check every other run and walk is entered. My early morning run worked yesterday but not today.

I need the run, specificially the mapped route, to be in strava as my strava pushes to city strides. Auto-entering does not seem to add my route, just my time and distance and effort and I would really like the route to be in the app as well.

I finished a lot of short, irritating roads off today and I'm going to be annoyed if I have to do this again tomorrow.

Hi, to force the update in the Strava app, go to tab You > tap the gear wheel in the top right corner to open Settings > Manage apps and devices > Health. This should open a list of workouts from last 90 days, either with an option to import or with a checkmark indicating that the activity has already been imported. Tap the activity that you want to import and wait for the checkmark to appear.
