@Stoshew71 .. Trying to find a way to sync Runkeeper to Strava but having trouble.. Do you know how I can do it?

There are at least 2 ways to do it.

First is what i call a manual way of doing it. First is to export the data from runkeeper into a .gpx file format. Then you manually import that file into strava.

There is also an automatic way of doing it using a third party service such as Tapiriik.

Manual method:

To export your Runkeeper data, follow the steps below to receive files in both GPX (GPS exchange) and CSV format:
(I suggest gpx)
Found these instructions from:
https://support.runkeeper.com/hc/en-us/articles/201109886-How-to-Export-your-Runkeeper-data

1. Visit runkeeper.com/settings

2. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on the Export Data tab

3. Select a "Starting Date" and "Ending Date" using the calendar boxes to provide your activity data within that timeframe

4. Click the button "Export Data" to complete the export process

5. Individual GPX activity files, along with master CSV files for cardio activities, measurements, strength training and sleep, will be available for direct download on that same page with a "Download Now!" button.

6. Just click on that button and you will have all your files saved directly to your computer!

Please note: The export process can take a while. Just leave the page up and come back to it later. The page will refresh every 30 seconds or so until your data is available, then it will be available for 24 hours afterwards. Don't be afraid to let it sit for a while!

After they are saved to your computer, you can now upload the data to strava manually:


You can upload .gpx files at http://app.strava.com/upload/select

Locate the gpx files that were recently saved on your computer by hitting Browse...
Follow the directions on the screen.
Duplicate entries will be ignored (in case you accidently add the same entry twice).


Before you upload your files, you may want to add your running shoes so you can select them for each run.
I love this feature. It helps me keep track of the mileage of each shoe I have.
