My Strava workouts don't arrive or are incomplete

Strava quotas, data access permissions and manual import: the three causes of a missing Strava workout or one without heart rate.

Written by Romain Malbreil

Two different problems hide behind "it's not coming through": the workout doesn't arrive at all, or it arrives without its heart rate data. The causes are not the same.

What you notice

Likely cause

The workout doesn't appear

The request quotas imposed by Strava.

The workout is there, but without heart rate

A missing permission on Strava's side.


1. The workout doesn't arrive: Strava quotas

Strava limits us to a set number of requests. When this cap is reached, workouts may not come through, or may come through late.


The most reliable fix: connect your watch's platform directly instead of going through Strava. Garmin, Suunto, Polar, Coros and others feed Nolio without this middleman.


2. The workout is there but without heart rate: permissions

If your workout appears in Nolio without heart rate data even though the curve exists on Strava, it's almost always a data access permission that hasn't been granted.


In Strava, go to Settings, then Data Permissions, and grant access to Nolio.

📌 Good to know
​
This permission is set in Strava, not in Nolio. Once granted, it applies to future workouts: workouts already imported don't get their heart rate back retroactively.


3. The fallback: manual import

In any case, you can retrieve a workout manually. Export it from Strava in .tcx or .fit format, then import it into Nolio.
