How to upload a session to Strava

Use this guide when you want a completed Kinni session to appear in Strava. Connecting Strava is an account setup task; uploading a session is a Sessions and data task.

Use this guide when you want a completed Kinni session to appear in Strava.

  • Connect your Strava account in Kinni.
  • Confirm the session completed normally in Kinni.
  • Give uploads a short moment before assuming they failed.

Kinni supports two Strava upload paths:

  1. Auto-upload after session complete when Strava is connected and auto-upload is enabled.
  2. Manual upload from Session Detail using Upload to Strava.
  1. Open the completed session in Kinni.
  2. Open the session actions on the Session Detail screen.
  3. Choose Upload to Strava.
  4. Confirm the upload when the modal opens.
  5. Wait for the success or error message.

Kinni generates a FIT file for the session and uploads it to Strava as a virtual run/trainer activity. The session must have the data Kinni needs to build that upload file.

  • Check that Strava is still connected.
  • Reconnect Strava if Kinni says authorization has expired.
  • Confirm the session has not already been uploaded; uploaded sessions cannot currently be re-uploaded from the same upload action.
  • Open Strava and refresh before retrying, because new uploads can take a short moment to appear.
