baz p Jun 2014 3:26pm, 26 Jun 2014 1,753 posts	0 baz p i like ~~strava~~ as you can access the site via ie aswell, and see your routes/logs from your runs saved from your mobile. its better than other apps for sure. i generally use ~~strava~~ for my biking but i know others that use this for running. Unsure about the accuracy tho, as it will use the gps from your mobile, which runkeeper etc would use aswell. Alot of time and effort has gone into ~~strava~~ so maybe it has been written better than other apps.
mzg Jun 2014 10:46pm, 26 Jun 2014 96 posts	0 mzg I've used ~~strava~~ runkeeper and endomondo apps (alongside a RCX5 so I can compare the GPS output). ~~strava~~ and endomondo generally fairly close and reliable. Runkeeper I had loads of problems with it crashing.

Ulric Jun 2014 6:49pm, 30 Jun 2014 91 posts	0 Ulric I seem to get different km splits uploading the same run to ~~strava~~ and Fetch. Has anyone noticed this and more importantly has any insight into why and which might be more accurate?
Gasping 4 breath Aug 2014 9:07am, 11 Aug 2014 726 posts	0 Gasping 4 breath I've given up on runkeeper- crashing all the time and moved to ~~strava~~ as it maps my route (via GPS) on my phone then synces to strava.com then from my PC I can export GPX to fetch. Question for wise techies: Is there a way I can export GPX file on my phone from ~~strava~~ app straight to Fech app? thanks in advance
steve_c Aug 2014 10:53am, 12 Aug 2014 31 posts	0 steve_c I would like to know that too. Can we get Fetch to be synced with somewhere, rather than do an upload? Due to 1) a wish to get untethered from a stationary PC and 2) various problems recently with Garmin Connect I have begun to use a Wahoo dongle and iphone to get runs off a Garmin 310XT. Then I use the export app to send to sites of choice: currently I send to Strava. But it would be the same if I just logged runs with a ~~strava~~ app directly. Tapiriik is a web service that then copies the training session for me to a variety of places. Currently I have chosen to send to Garmin Connect, Runkeeper and Dropbox (I could also add Training Peaks, Sporttracks, Ride with GPS and endomondo). This sync happens every few minutes, 24/7/365, without my intervention. I love it! Is there any way Fetch could me made to log the training session without me having to do a separate manual upload? Since I have data on Fetch going back to 2004 I don't really want to abandon it, but Fetch means I still have to use a computer somewhere and I want to get away from that.
Nick Cook Aug 2014 11:24am, 12 Aug 2014 20,322 posts	0 Nick Cook I've stopped using ~~strava~~ after I bombed up a hill segment in a PB and my boss, languishing way behind me, appeared higher up the ~~strava~~ leaderboard with a faster time!! (To be fair to ~~strava~~ I think it was our different Garmin watches that was the problem)
MartinCunningham Aug 2014 11:32am, 12 Aug 2014 186 posts	0 MartinCunningham Just last week Garmin Connect and ~~strava~~ announced that there was an option to connect / sync automatically and DC Rainmaker explained how to enable that function here in his blog dcrainmaker.com As a result when I get back in from my run I use Bluetooth on my 620 to connect and sync to the Garmin Connect app on my iPhone and very shortly afterwards the run is also appearing on Strava. Again based on comments made by Ray in his blog it would appear that Garmin is offering this connection (API?) but at a steep price so it may be that Fetch won't have this whereas others are prepared to pay what Garmin are asking.
