Garmin Edge - Forerunner - Strava integration

Hi all,

I use a Garmin Edge 530 since quite a while for my cycling, and I'm very happy with it. Synced it to Garmin Connect, which then automatically puts everything on my Strava.

Now I'm thinking of adding a Forerunner 245 to the mix. I plan to send my heart rate from the Forerunner to the Edge.

My question is whether there won't be a mixup in what is sent to Strava, if both my Forerunner and my Edge are connected to Garmin Connect? Will it send the workouts twice or is it smart enough, not to do that?

Thank you very much for your wisdom Slight smile

    You can use the Forerunner in broadcast mode to send heart rate to the Edge just like any other ANT+ sensor without recording anything on the Forerunner. The user guide lists the steps to invoke it.
