Recover missing activities
Add workouts that never made it to Strava through automatic sync.
Export Apple Health Workouts to Strava
Want an Apple Watch workout on Strava that didn't sync? Export a TCX or GPX file and upload it — route, heart rate, and pace included.
How the transfer works
Strava accepts manual file uploads of GPX and TCX. Export the workout from Apple Health as TCX (keeps heart rate, power, and cadence) or GPX (route only), then upload the file to Strava on the web.
Why upload to Strava manually
Bring over old history
Upload past Apple Watch workouts you want on your Strava profile.
Keep heart rate and pace
TCX carries the metrics, so your upload isn't just a bare route.
How to export from Apple Health
Strava imports standard GPX and TCX files — export one from your iPhone, then upload it.
1
Export from Workout Exporter
Open the workout, tap Export, and choose TCX (recommended) or GPX. Save it to Files.
2
Open Strava on the web
Go to strava.com and sign in on a computer.
3
Upload the file
Use Upload Activity → File, then choose your TCX or GPX file.
4
Save the activity
Strava processes the file and adds the activity with its route and heart rate.
Download a sample file
Download a sample TCX or GPX to confirm a clean Strava upload before installing.
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace Strava's automatic sync?
No — it's a manual upload for activities that didn't sync, or for importing older history.
TCX or GPX for Strava?
Use TCX to keep heart rate and cadence; GPX for the route only.
Will Strava show my heart rate?
Yes, when you upload a TCX that includes heart-rate data.
Is my workout data uploaded by the app?
No. The file is generated on your iPhone; you upload it to Strava yourself.
