Importing from Strava

If I record an activity with Strava how can I upload the gpx to Garmin Connect so that it appears as part of my weekly activities? When I choose ‘export gpx’ from Strava and download the file and then choose the upload button and then select ‘Garmin connect’ from the ‘more’ options, I can only save it under a category called ‘courses.’ Is there a way to add it as an activity I completed that day?

Did you not record the activity with your Forerunner 45? Garmin Connect is intended for use with Garmin devices. However, there are ways to import using certain tools such as Fit File Repair Tool which will convert it to a fit file and make it acceptable to Garmin Connect.

No, it was for a walk of a couple of hours duration not a run. I prefer to keep the charge on the watch for when I need to check pace, HR etc when running but would like, if possible, to log all my activities to Connect.

Then you'd need to convert as I mentioned. I'm using Fit File Repair Tool for this but there may be other free tools online. Some of them mentioned here: Corrupted FIT file. I guess it depends on how much effort you want to spend on this vs recording all activities with the watch.

There are a bunch of apps (iOS and Android) that Peloton users use to do a similar thing. They take Strava activities and convert and push to Garmin. The one Android that I have used successfully is called "Peloton to TCX".
