Is it possible to transfer run data to Strava?

[SarahCrom]

Hi

I know fitbit and Strava have recently linked up, and you can automatically have your GPS data uploaded to Strava from your fitbit (if you have both your fitbit and your phone with Strava on it with you when you run), but if you don't have your phone with you, can you then subsequently send the data to Strava? I know it won't have the GPS map data, but I just want the distance / time / speed data sending so it all stores together. Anyone know if this is possible? ...

Thank you!

I did a search of the word Strava for you, and found this post, which sounds like the answer is yes.

I also moved your post to the third party forum where somebody more informed on this may see and help out here.

Thanks Rich. Sorry I should have made clear, I have a fitbit Charge 2, not a Surge. (I thought this was a thread just for Charge queries). I'm a bit annoyed as I completed the 'what's the right fit for you' quiz on the fitbit website, and one of my main requirements was GPS tracking and it recommended the Charge as well as the Surge! I feel a bit conned! But I like all the other features so I'll forgive it as long as there is a way to transfer the info from the fitbit to Strava after my run, without having to actually run with the phone...

I really appreciate your response though, thank you! 🙂

It doesnt matter what tracker, strava connects to your fitbit account, not the tracker.

I know. But only if you run with your phone, with the fitbit app on.

Your tracker will track your run, and does not need the phone with you.. I'm not familiar to what info syncs, but the transfer of data happens after the run is finished, after the tracking mode has been turned off, and after the Fitbit data has synced to the server. Now that all this has happened the Attacks server can go to the Fitbit server and get the info.

@SarahCrom I have a post about Strava + Fitbit, that might help.
