A long awaited feature request, Strava now supports power & cadence data for cycling activities recorded using Apple’s native Workout app. This means if you record your cycling activities using a power meter and/or cadence sensor, that data will now sync over to Strava. 

 

Steps to get your cycling power & cadence on Strava:

  • Go into the Strava mobile app and accept the new permissions from Apple Health. This is true even if you have previously connected with Health.
  • Open Strava > Settings > Manage Apps & Devices > Health > Tap the ‘Connect with Health +’ banner
  • New activities will now display power and cadence if available in the file.
Athletes should see that both these permissions are toggled on after accepting Health permissions in the Strava mobile app

Requirements:

  •  iOS 17+
  • watchOS 10+
  • Strava app version 403+

Very good news, thank you.

One question: What happens if you have a dual power meter connected to the Apple Watch? Is the data from both sides visible in Strava?

Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for your answer.

If you mean the left/right balance, that isn’t shown in Strava.

Hi - first thx for finally adding this ability, somehow I missed it 5 months ago.

I use a Apple Watch Ultra 2 with crank power meter.

Is there any way I can re-import my prior ride data that has the powermeter / cadence info in it to add that to my collective data pool for analysis and better understanding of my ability??

without deleting the posts of course as comments/picts are there.

My first ride with the powermeter data also.
