Strava Upload.
Record here. Share there.
Strava is where your friends already are. PeakPulse doesn't try to replace that — it makes sure the recording is right and then hands it off. One tap pushes a workout to Strava with heart rate, elevation, edits, and segments all intact.
The Strava-and-something philosophy
Strava does the social part of running and riding well — followers, kudos, comments, segments, leaderboards, training log. We're not trying to compete with any of that. PeakPulse exists because the recording part — the actual capture of your workout — has paper cuts that Strava hasn't fixed and probably won't.
So pick the right tool for each job: record on PeakPulse, share on Strava, get the best of both. The upload flow is built to make that division of labor seamless.
Strava is a great destination. PeakPulse is a better recorder. Use them together.
How upload works
-
01
Connect once in settings
Authorize PeakPulse to upload on your behalf via Strava's official OAuth. You stay logged into Strava in your browser; PeakPulse never sees your password.
-
02
Tap upload — or auto-upload
From any workout summary, tap "Upload to Strava." If you'd rather not think about it, turn on auto-upload and every completed workout flows automatically.
-
03
Edits flow through
If you've fixed a false pause or trimmed a wrong-turn in the Route Editor, the upload reflects those changes. Strava sees the cleaned-up workout, not the raw recording.
-
04
Re-upload after edits
Made changes after the first upload? PeakPulse can replace the existing Strava activity in-place, or post a new one. Your call.
What gets uploaded
Common questions
Does PeakPulse cost extra if I'm just using it as a recorder for Strava?
No. Strava upload is included. We don't gate the data export behind a subscription tier. Your workout is your workout.
Will Strava's segments still work?
Yes. Strava's segment matching runs server-side against the GPS track we upload. Because that track has no auto-pause gaps, you'll often match more segments — and have better times on them — than you would have with a less faithful recorder.
Can I auto-upload only certain activity types?
Yes. Auto-upload settings let you scope by activity type — trail run yes, mountain bike yes, but not the gym session you accidentally recorded with Workout type "Other."
Can I export to other services or formats?
Yes. PeakPulse exports to standard GPX and FIT formats for any service that takes them — Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks, Komoot, etc. Strava is just the easiest because of the direct API integration.
If I edit a workout in Strava after uploading, do those edits come back to PeakPulse?
No. The flow is one-way: PeakPulse → Strava. PeakPulse is the source of truth for the recording; Strava is the destination for sharing. If you edit on Strava, that's a Strava-only change.
What if Strava is down when I finish a workout?
The upload queues and retries. You'll see a "pending upload" indicator on the workout and PeakPulse will push when the service comes back. You don't have to babysit it.
