Strava: sync activities and import training history

How to sync activities and import training history from Strava

Written By KULG App

Last updated 29 days ago

You can connect KULG App to Strava to sync future training activities and/ or import your training history via the integration. This will allow you to get a long-term view of your training history almost immediately.

🔓 You can sync both public and private activities to the KULG App but make sure your HR is not hidden when you bring your training history to KULG.

🔗 You can connect multiple integrations and choose to enable “Workout history” with one integration (e.g. Strava) and “Activity sync” with another (e.g. Garmin). If you have already imported your training history to KULG from Garmin or by file upload, make sure the Strava history import is disabled to avoid duplicate activities on your KULG account.

✏️ Making changes to your data in KULG App (e.g. correcting, deleting, etc), will not change the activity data in Strava.

🚨 If you edit the activity in Strava (e.g. add a comment, image, or edit the activity details), it will not overwrite the data in KULG. This is important to prevent you from accidentally overwriting your data in KULG.

Syncing activities and training history from Strava to KULG

  1. Log in to your KULG account

  2. Navigate to Settings in the KULG App and select the Integrations tab

  3. Choose if you would like to only sync activities or import training history or do both - disable the option you do not wish to use by clicking on the switch

  4. Click Connect with Strava - if you have multiple KULG accounts, then you can connect your Strava account to only one KULG account.

  5. Authorise Strava and sign in with your Strava credentials - ensure that you’ve checked “View data about your private activities” if you’re using a private Strava account

  6. After authorising Strava you’ll be directed back to KULG Settings page - check if your selected option(s) are dark grey and light grey if they were not selected

  7. Your full training history in Strava will be imported to KULG shortly (i.e. you cannot import your training history partially). You can already see results when refreshing the page. Please give a few minutes for the full history to sync.

  8. New activities uploaded to Strava will automatically appear in your KULG account after this step. If you don’t see your activities in KULG, please see Troubleshooting.

  9. KULG automatically detects the type of run by heart rate zone, average pace and distance and catergorises it, unless you have chosen the type of run as a “Long run” or “Race” in Strava. If you have, they will be mapped the same way also in KULG. You can categorise your runs further in KULG.

  10. When navigating to a single activity in KULG, you’ll find a direct link to that same activity in Strava to find further details about the activity that are not shown in KULG App (e.g. map, splits, kudos, etc)


  11. If you wish to sync your activities from another source or modify your settings (e.g. enable "Workout history" after initially omitting it) you'll need to click Disconnect and reconnect the KULG App to Strava

Tip💡

If you import your training history via Strava integration, then the training history is imported as is and you can update your activities one by one. If you wish to make bulk changes to your data before importing the history (e.g. correct type of run, define high intensity km, etc), then you can also export your history from Strava and send us the file to upload to KULG.

Troubleshooting

  • New activities aren’t syncing: First, ensure the “Activity sync” is connected in KULG (dark grey - see the image above). If it is, follow the next steps:

    • Check if you can see KULG App under your Strava Settings/ Apps page on your desktop. If not, disconnect Strava on KULG Settings/ Integrations page, log out from Strava and connect KULG to Strava again.

    • If you can see KULG App under your Strava Settings/ Apps page and still face issues, please contact move@kulg.io.

  • Missing activities after import or sync: Please contact move@kulg.io.

  • Duplicate activities: In this case, you probably had some activities already in KULG App before connecting your history, or you connected multiple integrations. Please contact move@kulg.io and let us know which duplicates should be removed.
