This is totally my use case too.
- It absolutely wasn’t a priority since TR had a completely workable solution in place for years, until Strava decided to pull the rug out from under everyone.
Hindsight is 20/20, but I don’t remember anyone calling for this in great measure prior to this announcement, because it simply worked.

I’m in the same 4 ecosystem as you. Dance between those platforms is a great way to say it.
At this point do we all just look at an app like workoutdoors or training peaks to be the central data broker?
I hope that more integration with Apple Watch and the Apple Fitness app is on the TR roadmap as well.
I often use my watch to record commuting activities when I don’t want to bring my Garmin head unit. But that’s also where I record every other non-cycling activity like walking, yoga, strength training, etc. Those activities go to Strava and then to TR just to keep track of total volume.
And then TR to Apple Fitness would be nice so that TR workouts can be reflected in my daily fitness rings. That currently also takes place via Strava for me.
But based on what everyone else in this thread are discussing it seems like that’s a much lower priority than Wahoo and Intervals.icu.

I’m sorry, but some critical items, like data source vulnerabilities, should be addressed proactively by the developers. Don’t try to shift responsibility to the user base because they didn’t “call for it.”

This is the boat I’m in. Running and strength are both recorded on my Apple Watch and are only pulled in to TR via Strava. Additionally, my TR workouts are pulled into Apple Health and Fitness, again, via Strava. I think it’ll be a bumpy few months for us.
But, I can still mark my scheduled runs and strength sessions on my TR calendar as complete, and they should then feed in to Adaptive Training. Additionally, I can record my TR workouts concurrently on my watch and TR so that my Apple Fitness and Training Load maintain some parity with TR.

He wasn’t doing this. Product roadmaps are often driven by user feedback so why would this have been prioritized if there was little feedback about this?
There was absolutely no indication that this was “critical”. Strava has been a reliable data hub for years and just decided one day to pull the rug under the industry’s feet. No one could have anticipated this.

I have 6 month left on my subscription but will cancel when i get back from my business trip. I can sync rides on my Fenix 7 until the Wahoo integration is figured out. Better to cancel an ask for my $ back now while it is fresh in their minds.

Not sure how much data is stored in the export file but it’s worth a try
“As with many app categories, third-party developers have come to the rescue. HealthFit has one simple job: export Activity app workouts into the FIT file format. It can natively share to a few places, but I love the ability to just save it straight to iCloud Drive and the Files app. From there, you can then upload it wherever you want.”
Does this have anything to do with the recent news story about Secret Service agents being tracked via Strava?
please prioritize wahoo direct API. Wahoo is not a fringe device group of individuals and I assume it has this functionality… Disappointing that my pixel watch which syncs to strava for hikes and rowing will not be able to be imported into the TR…
Strava seems to have blind sided us all. Had I known this was coming I would have bought a garmin watch and headunit rather than a wahoo and a pixel watch…

Maybe they should have anticipated the possibility after what Strava did to Relive.

Fitness device companies should be pulling back on what they supply to Strava. Maybe just the bare minimum. Time, distance, and elevation. Nothing more. After all Strava could be applying AI to that data… Just sayin’

If you think this was a failing on TR’s part I would highly suggest you peruse the forums for Veloviewer, intervals.icu, etc. Literally no one anticipated this and it is a little unfair to peg TR for something that was ultimately out of their hands.
But luckily TR is already on the case:
I have high confidence the TR team is not going to hang us out to dry and I believe you should too.

As a long time Apple user in a PC dominated business world, I have faith TR will work all this out. Maybe not over night. It took me hours of brain strain trying to make my laptop work with Microsoft, SAP, and other locked in formats, before they saw the light. Being a single individual, my hacks and boot legged software ( probably illegal hahaha ) did not get anyone in hot water. TR will have to do it on the up and up which will take time.
I as many others, will let my Strava sub run out. Years from now people might mention Strava. The response will be : ya I remember them. Weren’t they around when AOL was popular?

I’ve long said that we could all wake up tomorrow and find strava completely gone. Race or it didn’t happen

Not to mention that Strava gave all these partners less than 30 days (with Thanksgiving week in between) to comply. Even if anyone expected something like this to happen, it would have been reasonable to expect more notice. Hell, even Reddit, which handled its API changes horribly and screwed developers over, gave way more notice than this.

I think if people weren’t expecting this or something like it then they haven’t been paying attention to Strava and their policy changes for a while.
Last year their syncing rate limits required intervals.icu to restrict syncing to paid members only.
From March 2022 Strava blocking syncing for Apple
May 2020 they moved leaderboards to subscription only, also broke the APIs as part of that.
This change reduced the functionality that many other apps could provide, just like their changes this month did.
They have long term patterns of removing features (also removed HR sensor support on phones), so changes like the one they just made are only surprising to people who have not been paying attention to this kind of stuff.

Well, luckily you saw it coming and none of their partners did.

I’m up for building an app that’s just a cycling API that takes the place of Strava. Pretty sure I can I sit in the middle and transport files. You need to opt in for me to do so. And listen to me and why I like AG1 even though I’m allergic to apples. Go fund me to help?
