Apple Watch + Strava

[lykbutta]

With all this COVID 19 stuff destroying my workout routine I had to use alternative methods to get exercise in. Turned to biking. Just bought a 2020 Trek Marlin 6 and been going out on rides. While the Apple Watch outdoor cycle app is nice, my friend that rides quite a bit turned me on to Strava. Reading the reviews I decided to give it a try. I turn on Strava and it syncs perfectly with my outdoor cycle workout. Very nice app and it tracks my path of where I went. Thought I would share if anyone should want to try. It also syncs your exercise ring and your move ring.

Thanks for sharing. COVID-19 messed up my gym workout gains and routines as well. I was considering purchasing a MTB and the 2020 Marlin 6 reminds me of a very old 90's Norco hardtail I used to like yet it was much smaller for my 5'10 height, something I've always preferred. 29" wheel size ... that's insane!!

Strava App - does it have full access to Apple Health?
Can it track elevations?

Again thanks for sharing.

you can actually import your apple native workouts straight to Strava

I just use the outdoor cycle app on my watch and it logs everything. Heart, route, speed, elevation, time and all syncs to my phone (which I don't take with me) when I get home. In fact I used to use Runtastic but ditched it and do all my workouts just using my watch.

In my opinion, the app “WorkOutDoors” is much better than Strava.

The COVID-19 situation has actually inspired me to start exercising properly I have to say. I’ve taken up running and although I’ve got the series 5 Nike AW, I’ve downloaded Strava as it seems to be a much better app than NRC. I managed to run 3.6 miles this morning with around 100 feet of variation. I only run very early morning and rarely see another soul about which suits me.

Good to see people are still getting out for exercise at least .
