Strava <> Garmin FR935 + Stryd: GPS instead of footpod based pace

Hello,
I run using a FR935 + Stryd footpod and HRM4-Run.
The pace data is perfect (coming from footpod) in Garmin Connect, but in Strava it looks like the GPS data is used for the pace (horribly smoothed).
See enclosed pictures for more info.

Here are the 2 activities:
* https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/2505543406
* https://www.strava.com/activities/1413476387

How could I solve this problem and improve pace accuracy in Strava?
How is the autosynchronisation done (via a .fit file or tcx/gpx?) ? Will a .fit import provide better results ?

Note:
* Autosync is active from Garmin Connect to Strava
* Footpod is always as distance and pace source in FR935
* FR935 has latest firmware version (8.00).

Thanks for the help ! ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1312900.png ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1312901.png

Has this been solved? I'm having the same issue...

AFAIK, by default Strava does use the data from Garmin using the external pace sensor (Stryd, HRM-Pro, RD Pod, etc.), and overrides it by the GPS calculated distance & pace, only if you intentionally activate the function "Correct Distance" in Strava at given activity.

The discrepancy in the pace you are seeing at Strava is not caused by the the external sensor, but rather by the way the two platforms handle the moving and elapsed time.

Additionally, the two links in the OP show practically identical values on both platforms, and even the pace graphs look OK to me, so it is hard to see any problem with the Stryd data. If you have any example clearly demonstrating the issue, please post it here.
