How to use Strava and my Fitbit?

[jed53]

I’ve linked my charge 2 with strava. Which app do I need to start for both to log or do I still have to start both.

Hey @jed53, I hope you are doin' fine! To connect your Fitbit and Strava accounts:

1. Visit http://strava.fitbit.com/ and tap or click Connect.
2. Log in to your Strava account.
3. When prompted, authorize Strava to connect to your Fitbit account and follow the on-screen instructions.

Your Fitbit activities will appear on Strava, and runs and rides tracked with Strava will contribute to your all-day Fitbit stats. If you have a Fitbit watch, use the Strava app on your watch to see your last 10 run or bike exercises. If you want to export your GPS data from your Fitbit account to Strava, see How do I export Fitbit data?

Note the following types of activities won't sync to Strava:

• Non-GPS activities 
• Previous activities that weren’t tracked by Strava.
• Duplicate activities—that is, if you already recorded an activity with Strava, a Fitbit activity that occurs at the same time won't sync.

Note that after linking your accounts you may see some differences in the way data is calculated for your exercises on each site. For more information, see Strava's Calorie Calculation article.

If you have further questions, let me know!

Hi HeydyF,

I have a fitbit Sense, do I need to start any specific app or anything on the watch when I start an activity like a ride to get it to record and sync with Strava?
