Validic is pleased to announce we are expanding the Validic marketplace with the addition of Strava. Validic’s new app integration provides support for authenticating and retrieving a Strava user’s fitness data.
Track all your runs, rides and cross-training too. Upload your activities from your Garmin, Android or iPhone and Strava will automatically log all your workouts. Find the most popular and competitive segments anywhere you go. Run or ride a segment (specific section of road or trail) and compare your effort against past efforts, as well as other athletes who’ve run or ridden the same segment.
To request the addition of Strava to your marketplace, please submit a request to support@validic.com. For a basic understanding of how to sync a device or app with Validic, please review our “Marketplace Syncing” overview.
