So i have an issue, i recently got a new app to track my strength training workouts. Before i just used strava to log a workout. And then noted the weight on a piece of paper.


This new app automatically exports all of the data to apple health, and it works great.

 

The problem i have now is that strava dosent let me import it.
Strava works just fine to import something like a run from apple watch, but when importing the strength training from this app it dosent even show up in the list, of available imports in Strava.

 

 

Is there anyway to make this work, without going through a third party app like Rungap, which also sees the strength training exercise.

Hi ​@rareinator,

Unfortunately Strava will only import runs from Apple Health if they have been recorded with the Apple Watch fitness app. It's also mentioned here: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216917527-Health-App-and-Strava

Using RunGap is probably the easiest way around this limitation if you already have the app.
