I am happy I am still able to run, even with their services down. But I found no comments on the internet at all about the reason of the incident.

If you run, but you don’t post it to strava, did you even run? /s

Well you can still manually upload the FIT file to Strava.

Of course. And workouts can be manually synced to the device with usb. As others have mentioned, the devices are fairly robust with offline support.

This is silly. I use the data to see where can I improve, not for bragging. I can not see it on the app while the service is down.

Yeah, sure, I can manually downlod it (as I can also take a paper and a pen and write the data), but that’s not a fair expectation.

I know. I was being sarcastic. I’m the same way, and I’m pretty sure my strava is set to private. Mine was more of a comment on how everything has a social component nowadays.

ok, i’m sorry, i’ve missed the tone :)

This is sorta interesting, my wife is doing a virtual race on Saturday where she'll need to push Garmin data to Runkeeper to validate times for top 100. Might need to test some things out. Though I guess if everyone's impacted, the event will need to figure out a workaround.

Can connect the watch to a computer using the charger cable and then grab the file from there.
