Getting ready for fall marathons and century rides starts now! If you’re planning to participate you’ve likely picked your training plan and set your goal—now it’s just a matter of making sure you’re ready for the serious workouts ahead. MyFitnessPal and our newest partner Strava are here to help!
Strava makes fitness a social experience by providing inspiration and camaraderie—even when you exercise solo. Perfect for runners and cyclists, the free Strava app lets you track your rides and runs on iPhone, Android, or a dedicated GPS device, so you can analyze and quantify your performance. You can then compare your data with others for a boost of motivation in a community of friends and friendly competitors.
Together, MyFitnessPal and Strava keep your nutrition and competitive spirit on track! Starting today, when you connect your accounts you can automatically sync your Strava workout data to MyFitnessPal. After completing and recording a new workout with Strava, your time and calories will be sent to your MyFitnessPal Exercise Diary. There, you can determine how many calories you need to consume to optimize each workout and achieve your goals on race day.

The transfer from Strava to Myfitnesspal is imperfect. Not all activities complete the transfer. For the activities which are transferred, calories and workout duration reported by Myfitnesspal don’t match their Strava equivalents.
It’s a great idea though. I’m looking forward to when the kinks get ironed out.
I LOVE that you’ve finally added Strava to the family. Unfortunately, I can’t even get them to connect in order to experience the imperfect transfer. When I tap “Connect” from my MyFitnessPal app, it launches the App Store app as if I don’t already have Strava installed on my iOS device, which have had for ~2 years. Help!
Happened to me too. Here is the fix: open both apps. Go to strava, open settings, link option, select myfitness pal and follow the links. Fixed it for me.

This worked for me thanks!
Love that you have done this. My syncing works perfectly.
Thank you.
I have been waiting for this, thanks! Started out a little slow, but works just fine now!
There is a big difference between the amount of calories burned according to Strava vs. my heart rate monitor. Honestly I trust the monitor. If I link with Strava will I be able to modify the calories burned?
Does it work with Android?
