Hi , thanks for your replies . I go Wahoo to Strava , and wahoo to garmin. I thought i could have both , the names from strava and the good data from garmin. But the second part explains it . So , when i sync from Wahoo to Garmin it is not synced to Intervals then right ?
Sounds like it. Garmin wont allow 3rd party data over their api. But as garmin won’t sync your wahoo stuff to intervals, just sync wahoo to both intervals and garmin. That way you’re all good. Without strava
You can setup direct sync from Wahoo to Intervals.icu (added a few months ago). If you also sync from Strava Intervals.icu will keep the Strava name and segments.
Thanks. Yes I realized the same now. I think I got confused when i synced some old workouts from Wahoo via the settings and previous strava synced workouts (coming originally from wahoo) got the name from Wahoo.
Sorry for the thread bump but trying to avoid a new thread. I wanted to get L/R power into intervals.
I use an Apple Watch for running/hiking/yoga/weights etc then a Garmin for outside biking.
I’ve setup Strava as the “feed” for intervals, if I also connect Garmin Connect will Garmin cycling activities (with L/R power on GC) overwrite Strava activities?
Intervals will prefer the Garmin Connect FIT file because it has more data (like L/R). The Strava activity will remain linked and Intervals will use some of the extra info that you can get from Strava and not from Garmin (activity name for example). You will not get duplicates, Intervals handles this Garmin/Strava combination perfectly and the result is max information combined from both sources.

This thread was quite helpful.
I’m going to probably stop using Strava for my data feed soon but want to make sure I do this correctly like the OP.
I find that if I start to use wahoo - intervals duplicates entries (respects both wahoo and Strava). Rightfully so I believe as my bolt pushes to both Strava and wahoos cloud based service.
So two files at the exact same timestamp are pulled in from two sources and doubles the training load etc.
So short question: how do I cut over safely to wahoo as the source of truth for my fitness data into intervals without this duplication issue?
If u don’t want to have Strava data here. Just deselect download Strava data.
But if you want the names from Strava to be here, then select keep names in sync or something like that.
Basically it just stops intervals from reaction to stravas notification that there is new data for user X.
This is probably me not stating a crucial bit of info: if I select download workouts from wahoo. It starts from the start of time. So everything on that service.
But I guess your answer relates to if I want to keep the workout names? That’s not important to me. At least not how I quantify my fitness no.
Don’t get this. Start of time = the first day you started using wahoo?
Historical data?
You can do couple of things
- download all strava data (see forum thread on strava data)
- upload all these data. These will replace existing strava data w the uploaded data. Now your data is actually your data again. Lolz
- untick download strava activities
- new workouts will come from wahoo.
It’s just switches over.
I will give this a shot tomorrow and revert back.
Thank you for clarifying.
But yes - start of time / start of onboarding with wahoo service is what I meant.

Take note of the messages ya. Be aware and read and process them.
Oh this is actually quite brilliant - It took me a hot minute to fully understand what you meant by the data being mine again.
I just requested my strava archive.
If I upload everything from the archive and start syncing with Wahoo. ALL of these workouts will start to load still.
So I still think I will have 2 copies of many of my workouts.
When you authorize Wahoo there I dont see a way to filter what gets uploaded. I believe it will take all 1389 workouts and upload them.
Which begs the question – do I want to just nuke my connetion to strava and pull the bandaid off?
I don’t have a Wahoo. I switched from Strava to Garmin. I can’t remember if I did the whole archive thing from Garmin when I switched over but what happened was I turned off Strava sync (or download of new activities) and turned on Garmin.
Then from that day forward, only got new Garmin activities.
I do believe that Garmin won’t be so nice to pump all the archive data if you didn’t request for it. (Takes much processing and cpu time. So why do it unless it’s requested?)
So my take is - when u turn off strava and turn on wahoo. Only new activities gets sent to intervals.
That’s what happens when I switched over.
Just so it’s clear
Strava archive when loaded into intervals will just replace existing Strava(api) loaded activities with the archive and overwrite it from STRVA to UPLOAD (manual) hence making it that these activities does not come from Strava api hence not tied to their T&C.
This is helpful.
I appreciate Nik. I have my archive and Ill try this today.
Send the good vibes and cross some fingers for me.
Order of Operations:
Req/DL Archive from Strava - Done
Disconnect Strava from Intervals - TODO
Authorize Wahoo - TODO
Check if all data is there - TODO
Upload Archive if data is missing - TODO
I think the last 3 are conditional - I dont know if intervals will just process both files for one day or know that they happened at the same time and take one over the other.
Ideal scenario my Fitness, Fatigue and Form should be the same or very close to when this process is complete.
Just so it’s clear, you’re just gonna UNTICK the box that says “Download Activities”
DO NOT press the revoke access.
it’s actually OK to just leave the “download activities” to be there. In fact, in my setup, I have BOTH Garmin & Strava as “download activities”
Garmin Data will replace Strava Data and only keep some relevant things (like strava name, starva ID If not mistaken - so you can click the strava link and it’ll open the activity in strava)
This “~ Strava” link
Can you show me a screen shot of what that looks like on your activities page?
My understanding is if a day (lets say today) I have Wahoo and Strava BOTH send to Intervals - my intervals will double my TSS, Fatigue etc…
Is that not accurate?
Intervals.icu will de-dupe the data (based on workout time / duration etc etc) and will discard the Strava data (higher priority given to non-strava data) and you will only end up with 1 single workout.
UNLESS you are recording with multiple headunits. (Outdoors, I record w/ 2 head units and both data gets sent to Garmin + Strava and Intervals. I need to manually delete 1 of them. But the TSS etc remains generaated from 1 single workout
Hope that helps
