Connect with Strava

If you use the Strava app daily, you have the opportunity to connect this app to distantrace.com. The Strava app offers to synchronize sports activities (not daily steps).

  1. Create accounts on both distantrace.com and Strava (you might already have an account there).

  2. Connect Strava to distantrace.com In your distantrace.com account, there is a section "Connections". Find Strava and click "Connect".

  3. Authorize data receipt from Strava

    By clicking the "Connect" button, you will be redirected to the Strava website. Log in to your Strava account and authorize access to the data. To synchronize activities, you need to give access to your activities.

  4. Synchronize Strava sports activities

    Once the connection is successfully established, your sports activities from Strava will automatically be loaded into distantrace.com. For a sports activity, the start time, activity time, distance, route, and other metrics will be loaded.

  5. View loaded activities

    All loaded activities can be viewed in the profile section "Workouts".
