Strava kills Apple watch (series6) if not synched

Question

Several times now my Apple watch is stopping with low battery after a run with Strava.

I record my 50 min run in my watch (series 6) with battery on ~50%.

Soming back home, before I can synchronize the run, the watch suddenly turns off due to low battery power.
If I can manage to synchronize the run immediately as I get home, the battery level remains OK.

Also the recharging, getting back to live takes longer and it drains the battery down immediately as long the run ist not synched. After synching everything is back to normal.

Any idea how to solve this issue?

A workaround could be using the native Workout app on the AW (yellow running man icon) for recording, and sync the activity from Apple Health to Strava only afterwards. The downside is that you won't have the live segments feature during the run, but the segments achievements of course do count once the activity is uploaded. Other than that, the Apple Workout app has much more customizable options anyway - metrics to be displayed on screen, custom workouts (e.g. for intervals training) etc, personally I prefer that...
