Indoor training and upload on Strava

Hi guys,
in winter I often train with roller and I set my EDGE520 in Indoor mode (GPS is off).
The synchronization with GC works, but there is no loading on Strava.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
  • Did you check gcm settings to autoupload to Strava?

    Mine works well. I have not tried mine without speed sensor, but problem could be caused in absence of speed sensor. Strava might need some distance, in order to log new training. Do you use sensor? Anonying thing is, that ignores pauses while training indoor. It means, that any stop - have a drink, dry your sweat, change song, movie - will lead to low average values speed, heart rate.

    Maybe I understood.
    I train with rollers and I use the EDGE 520 and ZWIFT too.
    After the last training I tried to synchronize first on GC and later with Zwift and it worked. This time, however, Strava has not loaded the ZWIFT activity.
    Maybe Strava recognizes the two activities as the same (duration and intensity) and therefore does not accept the second loaded.

    And the problem is? if you pause why would you not expect your speed, HR averages be lower? Ignoring the pauses means that you get a 'true' reading of your workload.
  • dont agree

    Definitely dont agree, training is for me time when I train, no when I drink or do anything else. Its impossible to compare differents training if breaks are counted. If i want to train for exampl. base endurance and keep my hr low and I stop for maybe going to toilet, it will ruins result. How would you like to see you training oudoor with avg speed avg heart rate ruined for stoping for a lunch or in cofee shop? I guess not much, so its why strava should behave in same way for logs without gps record. I just dont think that breaks should be counted in whole training and its why the most of training diaries does it exactly in this way. But I understand that people use strava mainly for competing with others and strava tries to stop people from cheating and its right. But why this aplly for indoor training and not for oudoor training, where we ride segments agains each other and where all competetion happens? Strava counts these results from moving time, not from elapsed time
