Strava isn’t just an app to track your workouts, it’s also one of the most popular platforms for athletes to connect with each other. Unfortunately, the app still has a long way to go on the Apple Watch.

How to sync Apple Watch workouts with Strava?

I recently started training for my first full marathon, and my running group decided to cheer each other on using Strava. I downloaded the app for my Apple Watch, but quickly discovered that it was far inferior to Apple’s own Workouts app. On the watch, Strava has a fairly basic UI, doesn’t sync audio seamlessly to my AirPods, and is missing several features I rely on, like pace alerts to ensure I’m not running too fast or too slow.

If these kinds of limitations bother you too, there is a way to continue using Apple Watch Workouts to track your fitness and sync that data to Strava so you can enjoy the social aspects of that app. Here’s what to do.

You can easily set up a two-way connection between your Apple Watch and Strava. This means that when you record something in the Workouts app, it will appear in Strava, and when you record something with Strava, it will appear in the Fitness app on your iPhone.
