Workaround for Users
While Strava is down, users can still manually upload workouts from Garmin devices. Here’s how:
- Log into Garmin Connect on a laptop.
- Locate the workout, click ‘Export,’ and save it as a .fit, .gpx, or .tcx file.
- Once Strava is operational, log in to your account.

Impact on Users
The outage has frustrated many users, who often rely on Strava for tracking their fitness progress. Runners have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with some sharing humorous memes reflecting their experiences.

If successful, this lawsuit could dramatically affect the availability of Garmin devices that support Strava integrations.
Community Reactions
As users await the restoration of Strava services, they have turned to humor to cope with the downtime. Comments on social media often question the validity of workouts done without uploading them, leading many to wonder about the importance of digital recognition in athletic accomplishments.
