Impact of Strava API change?

That seems about right since Coros accounts for about 5% of the “running watch” market. I’m more wondering if Polar is missing since they make up about 5-10% of that market. I do agree that the next time market data comes out that those two may flip-flop positions with the popularity of the Coros Pace series competing so well against the Garmin 165/265. Of course, the low votes for both Coros and Polar is probably attributable to this being more of a tri-focused forum over being more run-only focused.

Saw someone mention tryterra.co on another forum to bypass Strava

Just saw this comment on intervals.icu. So it might be fine…

I saw that on the intervals.icu forum as well, so that may clear up some details on the “coaching” implications, but I was more interested in the impact of the paragraph prohibiting “Training AI Models” with data provided by Strava.

Yup, we are looking at them as a quick solution as well. Still requires integration, but might get us to where we want to be faster. Appreciate the tip @billm !

As you might imagine, these integrators will see their business jump as a result of this.

Not really surprising, since Coros doesn’t play well with the platform. I have a Coros but bought a Garmin mainly because it works better with Athletica (and has better swimrun functionality, marginally).

That’s a good point that may result in data being a bit skewed.

It might be worth reaching out the the developers of HealthFit and RunGap on iOS. Either one would take care of the Apple platform. @BevOutside RunGap will actually pull Concept2 stuff from Logbook for pushing to other platforms as well. HealthFit will push metrics (sleep, resting heart rate, HRV though not rMSSD, etc) as well as workouts.

@MarkB , do you have any updates on the impacts to the Athletica platform from Strava’s policy change. One of the platforms I’ve been using is excluding much of its functionality from and downloaded Strava data as of 12/15. Their changes basically rendered the site useless for Strava data.

As one who can currently only access their data via Strava, this is causing to search for other work-a-rounds, including daily manual-only uploading of my data to Athletica (would solve my current Strava data import issues).

Any update would be appreciated….I’d prefer not to have to go the manual route:)

@Firestop we’re in the early stages of implementing a solution that will give us more direct connections to multiple platforms. Please can you let me know what device(s) you use to record workouts?

Ergatta-branded WaterRower erg, a SmartRow Pulley installed on it in parallel, and Polar HRM…also have a Withings watch, but have a WHOOP in the mail. Looking to add cycling for cross-training to my mix, just not sure on a data capture platform/device to go with….

Ergatta currently integrates with STRAVA exclusively, but I had a teleconference with their Customer Support this afternoon to lobby for other pathways for their users to have more options to control access to their data…… :slight_smile:

Just noticed that AI Endurance is now integrated with HealthFit. As an Apple Watch user I’d love to see that here
