Strava Integration
Learn how to connect Coach Watts to Strava and sync your runs, rides, and swims automatically.
Strava is the primary source for activity data in Coach Watts. Connecting your Strava account allows us to automatically sync your workouts for deep AI analysis.
Setup Guide
- Go to Settings → Apps on the Dashboard.
- Click Connect with Strava.
- Authorize Coach Watts to access your activities and profile.
Note: We only request access to your activities and basic profile data. We do not modify any of your Strava data.
What Syncs?
- Activities: Distance, duration, heart rate, power, and GPS data.
- Sync Speed: Most activities appear in Coach Watts within seconds of being uploaded to Strava.
Troubleshooting
Activities not appearing
- Confirm the activity is uploaded to Strava (not just recorded on a device)
- Click Sync on the Dashboard
- Check Settings → Apps — connection should show as active
Connection failed during OAuth
- Ensure you approve all requested permissions on Strava's authorization screen
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting from Settings → Apps
Duplicate workouts with Garmin
If you also connect Garmin directly, the same ride may sync from both sources. Coach Watts deduplicates in most cases — consider using Strava OR Garmin as your primary activity source, not both.
