Better run 😄- anyone else having trouble syncing to Strava?

Up and straight into my running gear. Knew it was going to be cold but 1 degree??? Really???? Dragon scale leggings, lime green jacket, buff around my ears and off I went. It didn’t seem so cold after a couple of mins walking and I was breathing ok despite the cold. So I decided to go for 5k ( this has been a struggle for me for a while now).

I started running and after 2 1/2 mins I had to stop and walk again for about 30 seconds. Determined not to waver I started again and managed another 4 minutes before walking again for about 1 minute. I’m beginning to think it’s a mental thing because my breathing was ok and my legs weren’t aching so off I went again and this time I ran for over 10 mins before another 1 minute walk. I had chosen to reverse my Chaddiford Lane route so, in fairness a lot of the beginning of the run was uphill. So then I managed the whole of Chaddiford Lane and across the dual carriageway and out through the Industrial Estate towards the river and Tarka Trail.

I was halfway round now but unfortunately the rest of my journey was taken up with concentrating hard and making it back to the loo without a Radcliffe incident 🤣🤣 so I actually made pretty good time. No PR but 43 mins for a 5k run isn’t too bad when you are not back up to usually fitness yet.

Saw loads of other runners who looked as though they were enjoying it much more than me. Also one other guy who went past me leaning over to one side and wheezing like hell. But he was motoring along for all his wheezing. But all in all I’m glad I went. I CAN still make it around a 5k run ( just) and I will be out there again on Tuesday morning. Tomorrow morning is MOT day so I will have my fingers crossed for that now. My little Ibiza is 20 years old now so it’s not certain but I don’t really want to replace him yet....

Yes! I disconnected and reconnected garmin in Strava and then did a sync from my watch and it came through ok 👌🏽

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Well my Garnin connect appeared to have disconnected Strava itself so I have deleted and reinstalled Strava, restarted my phone and watch, deleted and reinstall Garmin, synced watch again. Everything is going to garmin but not to Strava since Thursday morning. 😩

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to limberlou]

My Strava had disconnected garmin. Have you reconnected your garmin in Strava? And try a sync straight from your garmin watch. That’s what seemed to fix mine.

Well done. Partner had same problem yesterday. Did the same as Tasha99 said.👏

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Doris8]

I might try syncing it through my laptop. Sometimes that sorts it out

[Doris8 Graduate10 in reply to limberlou]

My partner went into Strava and synced it again. He is on Garmin connect and has forerunner 35

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Doris8]

Yeah I’ve tried that and I have a forerunner 30

My partner went into Strava into settings then into applications and services devices and then press garmin it will then ask you for your Garmin password and email address and then follow it from there and it will tell you if it’s synced. My partners synced off his forerunner to Garmin connect ok.
