Runkeeper 2 way sync

Runkeeper 2 way sync please. Or at least session workouts going over.

Strava does it?

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @SunsetRunner. It's great to have you here. Thanks for sharing your idea with us. You are welcome to join a discussion about changing the way data is synced between Fitbit and RunKeeper in a similar suggestion placed in the Feature Request board. 

The information transferred between Fitbit and RunKeeper is currently one way integration as shown in the following chart:

On another note, recorded activities from Strava are synced over to Fitbit. GPS activities are synced from Fitbit to Strava. More information about Strava and Fitbit integration can be found in @AndrewFitbit's post.

Catch you later.

Thanks for the reply
Through experimenting with the syncs I have discovered this.

When is two way sync coming with RunKeeper? At the moment only Steps and food go over. They say it's down to Fitbit?

Fitbit blames Runkeeper. Runkeeper blames Fitbit. Sadly I doubt anything will change. I gave up hope and just let Fitbit record my runs while I actually use Runkeeper to review my progress.

[SunsetRunner]

Your right tastybrew it will never happen. I blame fitbit.

However if your interested I do have a solution for getting gps runs over from fitbit to Runkeeper....

[tastybrew]

I'd really like to get my Runkeeper data into Fitbit. I use Runkeeper to plot GPS. I use a Charge HR so no GPS there and the Fitbit app is limited in functionality compared to Runkeeper for tracking workouts.

[SunsetRunner]

Fitbit just will not allow anything onto your dashboard, especially gps runs from another platform.

The only platform they allow gps fitbit sessions to sync out to is strava.

You can then set up a sync via https://tapiriik.com to send those sessions over to Runkeeper.

Handy for those who have years of data with RunKeeper pre fitbit

Real solution though is for fitbit to be more open...

As a 2.5 year user of Fitbit and longer for Runkeeper, I'm aware of Fitbit's limitations. That's why I still track all of my workout sessions through Runkeeper. Add in the ability to use my Polar H7 with Runkeeper but not Fitbit and it's a done deal.

[SunsetRunner]

Totally agree

The work around sync option is an handy solution for surge or blaze users who want to use the hardware for logging runs
