Now I’m back on Trainerroad and also now using the Zwift integration I’m having trouble understanding the sync between apps.  
I have Garmin Connect (GC), Strava, Zwift, Trainerroad (TR)  
I though linking Zwift-TR, Strava-TR, GC-TR would work but Rides or Runs on Garmin units got to TR but not then onto Strava. Thee is no direct connection from GC-Strava.  
Has anyone got all these to play nice together ?

I have garmin linked to strava and it pushes rides there. Only downside is that I typically record on garmin when I’m also doing something in zwift or TR and I’ll get duplicate workouts pushed to strava. A bit of a pain, but easy enough to keep cleaned up in strava. TR is smart enough to ignore the 2nd ride if it has multiple similar rides pushed from strava, so it’s only a strava cleanup issue.

Yeah. TR does not recognize/record “pedal dynamics” . Lately I’ve put my Assioma pedals on the bike on my smart trainer. I use trainer power in TR and also record the workout and pedal power on my Garmin, which uploads to Garmin Connect. I have TR and GC synced to Strava, but not TR synced with GC. When I ride outside recording a ride on my Garmin, it uploads to GC, then to Strava, then to TR, so TR sees my activities. When I do a workout indoors using TR and my Garmin, both upload to Strava, but the GC activity doesn’t show up in TR. TR must recognize it as a dupe and ignore it. Since I have both showing up in Strava, I delete one there.

You can sync Strava and Garmin Connect which should solve your issue.

Let me know if you get things sorted out or if you have any issues!
