Strava Outage Live Updates: Stay Informed on the Latest Developments

Strava users are encountering significant challenges as the platform experiences a widespread outage affecting workout uploads. Many users can still view friends’ workouts, but uploading new activities has become problematic. This issue began early in the morning on October 20, 2025, around 7:53 AM GMT, leading to a growing number of complaints on Downdetector.

Understanding the Strava Outage

As you get ready for your run, it’s essential to know that current uploads to Strava are failing for a large subset of users. However, there are options available to manually upload workouts once the system is back online. Strava has acknowledged these issues on their status page, indicating major interruptions in the upload functionality.

How to Manually Upload Workouts to Strava

• If you use a Garmin device, follow these steps to manually upload:
• Export your workout activity as a .fit, .gpx, or .tcx file from Garmin Connect.
• Save this file to your computer.
• Once Strava is operational, log into your account and click the ‘+’ icon in the top right corner.
• Select ‘Upload’, choose the file you saved, and click ‘Open’.
• You can edit the activity title and upload a photo before saving the entry.

For Apple Watch users, the process is slightly different. Navigate to the Strava app, then:

• Select ‘You’ followed by ‘Manage apps and devices’.
• Click on ‘Health’, where you’ll see a list of workouts from the past 30 days recorded on your watch.
• Click ‘Import’ to manually add the workout once Strava is functional again.

Current Status of Strava

As of now, Strava has not provided an estimated time for the resolution of the outage. Many users are resorting to social media to express their frustrations, questioning the validity of their workouts if not recorded on Strava.

The Legal Landscape

Compounding the current situation, Strava is also facing a contentious legal battle with Garmin, alleging patent infringements related to its features on heatmaps and segments. If successful, this could impact the availability of Garmin devices that integrate with Strava. While the companies are currently cooperating, ongoing disputes about data attribution also remain unresolved.
