Intervals.icu now displays segments from Strava on activities from non-Strava sources (Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Wahoo, Dropbox etc.). This is a supporters only feature as additional Strava API calls are required. Note that the Strava and non-Strava activities need to be from the same device. Connect Strava and other sources to see left/right balance and other things not kept by Strava along with segments.
That is great news
It wasnât working for my last outside ride, so I did the following:
Went to /Settings and updated permissions on Strava (kept the upload from Strava unticked). It then worked.
Thanks @david - not important to me, personally, but is a nice extra feature.
Just to be sure that I understand. For the moment, Garmin sends my activities to Strava and iâve just connect Garmin to Intervals. To activate this function, I should connect both (Garmin and Strava). Donât I risk to have some activities in double ?
Yes you need to connect Strava and Garmin. Intervals.icu will delete the Strava activity in favour of the Garmin one so you shouldnât get dups.
Hi David, where do you see Strava segments on intervals?
If you look at the screenshot in the original post you can see them at the very bottom âHotel Suikerbossie Topâ, you can then press âVâ and it will create an interval for it
Wow that is cool! Iâve never noticed that. thanks so much
Nice feature, thanks a lot!
One question:
Is there any possibility to see all my efforts on a special segment to compare them?
I donât pay for Strava so I canât see this in Strava.
Not directly but if you create an interval for that segment on each activity then you can compare the intervals on the interval search page (click the interval on top of the activity and then click the search icon).
Strava might get unhappy if I built something tracking actual segment performance over time.
Thanks for your answer and the workaround.
Think the same. Strava wouldnât be happy if you would build that feature.
Would be nice if that could be done with RideWithGPS too !
For those who donât know about it, RideWithGPS also manages your segments, and you can compare your PR with other riders. For free.
PS: another positive point is that there are fewer users on RideWithGPS than on Strava, so itâs âeasierâ to get KOMs/QOMs
thanks @Gousti_Fruit I have used ridewithgps in past but not recently looked, it has some good improvements. I must admit it works well to compare myself with a segment, allowing you to split the segment into 1/4, or 1/3 or Distance markers etc and see the comparisons of power, time, speed, HR etc. I have one segment that is around 20min long so I use it sometimes as a FTP test and like to compare the activity results.
It may be good to get ideas to enhance intervals.icu > Compare page
Isnât this what veloviewer is already doing? Iâm not too sure about how happy Strava is or if there are any handshake agreement going on or such.
Then thereâs also the Relive case

I was actually thinking of using the segments data and doing a performance over time kind of page.
Bug Report
For activities not from strava it seems the For Segment (V)
button doesnât appear. This is fine on desktop as I know I can just use the keyboard but makes it impossible to do on mobile devices.
Thanks. I have just fixed this.
Thinking of becoming a supporter and moving away from TP premium. Searched the forum and was unable to answer this question:
Do you support Strava private segments?
Also, I found a post that Intervals will match to longer segments. And that you can use V shortcut to select an alternate. Are all segments available at the bottom?
I suspect private Strava segments will work but not certain.
Intervals.icu filters the segments to try pick ones that match the current set of intervals well. And those are displayed at the bottom. The V option creates an interval from the segment under the marker. Strava sends back very many segments for a given activity so there needs to be some filtering.
Suppose that I have three activities that all contain the same Strava named interval, and I have used the V command to ensure that each of these intervals is defined with the same name in their respective activities. I would like to bring all three of these activities onto the Compare Activities page and align them so that this interval lines up on the distance axis across all three activities. (They donât naturally line up because the overall routes are not identical.) Is there an easy way to do this? The post to which I am replying seems to be getting at this, but I canât follow the instructions. If I âclick the interval on top of the activityâ a small floating box pops up that allows me to edit the label of the interval (already populated with the Strava segment name), and the starting and ending times and distances, but I donât see a âsearch iconâ. If what I am asking is possible, could you please elaborate the steps to get there? Thank you!
