Connect Strava
What Milewise reads, what it sends to Strava only if you switch it on, and why the coach does not read it.
Strava can be your sign-in and a source of activities. It is also the one source with rules of its own, and Milewise follows them to the letter.
- 01
Open You, then Settings, then Connected apps. Press Add connection and choose Strava. You approve on Strava's own page.
- 02
Your activities appear in your history, and new ones follow as Strava reports them.
New Strava connections are paused while Strava limits how many athletes may connect: an account created before the pause can still connect Strava, a newer one cannot. Your Strava data export works either way: Uploads and your Strava export.
What is different about Strava
The coach does not read Strava-recorded activities. You see them in your history with their numbers and routes, but Strava's terms do not allow an AI to be trained or coached on them, so the coach leaves them out. For coaching on your runs, connect intervals.icu, Suunto or Polar, or import your Strava data export: files you bring are yours, and the coach reads them.
- Milewise changes nothing at Strava unless you switch it on: Send activities here uploads what you record or upload in Milewise, and Name activities from your plan renames them. A workout recorded on Strava is never copied to another service.
- An activity that reached Milewise through intervals.icu but was recorded on Strava counts as Strava's.
Turning it off
Disconnect on the Strava row under Connected apps. Milewise revokes its own access at Strava and deletes every activity it read from there. Deleting your account does the same.
