Hi you all!

I´m trying to import some runs that i unfortunately logged in "RUNMETER" ios app.
I can se them in some calculations/reports, but they do not count as  yearly distance when i check different places, and they do not transfer to the watch, or Runalize and so on.


I really would like to get over all of the runs from 2020, but they do not calculate properly, so i will be satisfied with the ones i done this year 1-5th january before i bought my FR245m.
Also i tried to import a few personal pests runs, but they also doesn't recognize as fastest 5km or fastest 10km and so on.

Please help!

    First of all, the activities that you enter manually or import via a file, will never be transferred back automatically to a device. The whole Garmin system is built so you may have several devices connected to your account, and automatic transfer is only from the device to Garmin Connect. So you will not find traces of your Runmeter activities on your FR245m, unless you manually yourself drop the activities back to the watch when being connected to a computer.

    Secondly, synchronization with Runalyze, if you have set that up, happens when uploading a .fit file - at least that's how I understand it. How have you imported your Runmeter activities? If you upload .csv-files I don't think it will trigger the sync.

    And thirdly, I believe that the auto-assignment of personal bests (I assume that's what you meant?) only happens I think while being uploaded from a device (again). However, you can always set a PR from an activity - while looking a the details of the activity, expand the cog-wheel at the top right and choose Set as PR.

    Awsome fast reponse! Thanks!

    ok, so the device visibility is sorted then.

    I have, two days ago, uploaded 5 .gpx files (not .Fit) to garmin connect via garmin express. 
    I se them in connect, but today when i "asked" runalizer to import training from Garmin connect, it only imported the two runs i have done so far with garmin FR245m.
    and not the other uploaded ones.

    ok, so only personal bests from my FR245m when synced from the watch then.

    ill look in to setting my PB manually then. Or start fresh and let the watch handle it.

    According to the FAQ at Runalyze, only historic activities max 30 days old are being synchronized.

    "Step 4 – Getting the activities synced

    When your account is connected with Garmin all future activities and those of the last thirty days will be transferred. To start the initial sync you need to track at least one new activity at Garmin. Afterwards Garmin will send us the last 30 days of activities. This can take some time (hours up to one day)."

    Oh, maybe it that then. Strange though that the last two days imported first.
    I look in to what Runalyze does after my lunch run then.
    Big thanks!
