Garmin & Strava Linking

Once you have linked your Addaero Solo account with GarminConnect or Strava the fitness data that you upload to GarminConnect/Strava automatically syncs to your Addaero Solo calendar.

You can merge the Garmin/Strava entry with an existing workout on your calendar so the planned metrics and actual results are in one workout. It avoids double entries, it is an efficient way to log your workout results.

COACH VIEW: ATHLETE GARMIN/STRAVA DATA

There is a link to the GarminConnect site in the workout notes. You may click on the link or copy the link in to the address bar of your browser to view the GarminConnect data. 

In order to view your Athlete's GarminConnect data:

1. Your athlete needs to connect with you in Garmin so the relationship is established. 

2. The activities that your athlete wants you to view must be set to share.

3. When you click the link in Addaero Solo make sure the first time you have logged in to Garmin so it knows who you are or you can copy the link in to Garmin. 

 

Keep in mind everything is done on Garmin's side Addaero is simply providing the link to connect to the workout.
