Guide: How to Transfer Data from Nike+ to Strava
I’ve been using Nike + for a few weeks now and thought it was pretty good. You can set goals, access training programs, and connect with a large and active community – all for free. Then I started using Strava to record my morning rides and rides. That’s why I wanted to transfer my runs from Nike + to Strava and thought it was a challenge. I realized that Nike + is a closed platform. So it is difficult to export data for use outside the ecosystem. There are quite a few webs mobile apps claiming to move Nike’s health and fitness data. However, Nike made several changes a few years ago that made these apps useless. After some research, I found two apps that still work, but with a catch. The data is slightly off, but still not a deal breaker. Let’s see them in action.
Requirements
If you used your Google or other social media account to create and log in Nike + and Strava, you will need a password. The apps I have shared below ask for login details and your social media account password is not working. Open Strava and tap the menu to log out. Then tap Forgot password to receive an email with a link to create a new password. Standard process.
Now repeat the same process for Nike Run Club and create a new password for that too. Write them down somewhere handy and move on to the next step.
1. SyncMyTracks
SyncMyTracks is an Android app that connects and works with many health and fitness apps, including Strava and Nike Run Club. The user interface is quite simple. Select Nike + Run Club under the Export from option and enter your email address and password here.
The free version of the app doesn’t export weight, store data locally in the SyncMyTracks app, or let you export data by date. However, you can select the number of activities (max. 40). Choose Strava from the Import to option and enter an ID and password there. When you’re done, tap Start at the top right of your screen.
You will see a log screen with the details of the app connecting to the Nike + servers, exporting activities one by one, and finally importing them to Strava. Depending on the number of activities you are exporting, this may take some time. Let’s see what the data looks like in Strava and how accurate it is.
The date, GPS location, map data, and burned color data are exported correctly. However, the distance traveled, average pace and duration data may differ slightly. I don’t think it’s a deal breaker unless you’re an athlete or like competitive sports. I’m just glad I have something to show for all the hard work I put into my runs. Of course Strava says I ran a few meters less than what I did and that the pace is a bit slower, but it’s not that bad. It is only a means to an end.
In another comparison, the distance is good, but the time is a bit off. When I checked my other runs the distance and pace data was not good, just by a margin. If you can live with that, go for it. You can also edit these imported runs in Strava by tapping the menu. That way you can correct these marginal errors.
The paid version of SyncMyTracks will cost you $ 3.49. For that price, you can keep all activities in sync between Nike Run Club and Strava, selectively export data based on date, remove ads, and remove the activity limit. Download SyncMyTracks
2. RunGap
RunGap is a popular app for syncing workout related data between many fitness apps and devices. It is only available to iOS users. Download the app and run it. Tap the menu icon and select Accounts & Settings.
Now tap on Nike + and Strava options and log in with your user ID and password generated earlier.
The moment you sign in to Strava after signing in to Nike +, RunGap will start syncing your data. RunGap notes that sync may not work for everyone as Nike has discontinued the API. I was able to view my Nike Run Club data under the Tracks section in the app.
Did you notice anything strange in the screenshot above? If you can’t import Nike data to Strava, export it to Dropbox or your email ID using RunGap. You can then import that file to Strava. Download RunGap
3. Manually
None of the above methods work, but still want your data? If there are only a handful of activities in your Nike account, consider manually uploading these items. Click on the link below and login to find manual mode option.
While this is certainly one way, adding hundreds of runs can be tedious and time consuming. That’s too much hassle. Maybe just your best runs? The one time you broke the record or won a bet? Add manually
Run for it
As noted earlier, Nike has decided to shut down its API, making it difficult for third-party apps to provide data transfer services. These are some of the ways that still work in some capacity. Try them out to see if they work for you too. If you want more control over your data, you need to distance yourself from Nike as soon as possible.
