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

Alright - Un Ticked Strava Download Activities
Authorized Wahoo.
Selected Download Old Activities (Given the weighting pref shared by app4g)
Pre Wahoo Sync Fitness was 95.
We are now at 98. But there are 450 workouts that have to be pulled down.
Little bit of dark side of the moon now.
Waiting game.
Looks good! Thanks team!
Im also now getting some of the new fun jazz with L/R balance and the good stuff strava was stripping out!
Big win. Danke!

Note that I didn’t do this. I just “switched” over by adding Garmin. Thats about all I did. Just connect Garmin and have it download activities
this is the way…
Hi everyone!
I just created a new account and started syncing with both Garmin and Strava.
Since I wanted to have the full history, I also uploaded both dumps from Garmin and Strava and got covered from my very first activity.
My problem now is that I can’t find some of my activities by the name I’ve set on Strava but not on Garmin.
How can I handle this situation?
I read in some past replies that there should be a way of taking the Strava name and Garmin data, but how?
Thanks a lot!
P.S.: Is there any way of forcefully discarding “deleted” activities once and for all?
From my experience above with Wahoo - You should not discard anything.
As @app4g and @Nik_Om_Cinderella_Ri shared Intervals actually prioritizes non Strava workouts. But you can still have the title as it will “blend” the two.
See my screenshot below:
Ride title via Strava and on the right Wahoo and Strava.
But if you look at it on the activities page:
Its one single entry:
Though as I am about to hit the reply button:
If you want to search Intervals by strava title - I havent done that before.
I tend to look back on the activities page and the fitness page rather than remembering a semi-clever ride title.
In my case, it’s only marked as Garmin.
What could be the reason? Does it make sense to upload just this Strava activity manually to see what happens?
To help we would need to see your “settings” page.
Should see something like this:
Note - I have both Wahoo and Strava download ticked.
Sure, here’s my setting page!
Reminder: that activity is from 2 years ago, and it was added through bulk import together with hundreds of other activities.
Ah - if its bulk that is outside my experience.
But my next question would be if you are a paid intervals member?
Wonder if this is a historical data thing that only syncs back 90 days etc.
Also what about more recent activities? Do you see both flags on current workouts?
- Yes, I’m a paid user
- I’ve just seen that a recent activity (Jan 11th) is marked with both sources, but an earlier one (Dec 15th) is only from Garmin. The same applies to all previous activities. So, it seems to me that the “merge” of activities only works when Intervals directly connects to the Garmin and Strava APIs, but not when dealing with bulk imports (which is the case for older activities).
- I tried to delete the activity and manually upload the Strava
fitfile, but what appeared then on the list was the previous Garmin version
