Strava, the world’s most popular fitness-tracking social media app, is aiming to broaden its user base and enhance the user experience. It will now allow athletes to seamlessly synchronize their Nike Run Club (NRC) and Nike Training Club (NTC) activities with their Strava accounts. This integration simplifies fitness tracking, making it easier for users to monitor their progress and achievements across platforms.

Nike members who use the NRC and NTC apps can now sync their workouts to Strava by authorizing the integration in their apps under settings. Strava and Nike members will gain access to a Nike-branded club, offering expert tips, guidance and motivation from Nike’s world-class coaches and athletes, including Coach Bennett, Chelsea Cox, Eliud Kipchoge and more.

Nike users will also have the opportunity to participate in Strava challenges, which inspire and engage athletes with shared fitness goals. And Strava users can track their individual progress and unlock valuable rewards through the Nike app.

Strava unveils two new game-changing features

Setting up the connection between Nike apps and Strava is straightforward, streamlining your fitness-tracking. The integration seamlessly works with the Nike Run Club and Nike Training Club apps.

To get started, open the Nike Run Club or Nike Training Club app. Tap on your profile initials (located in the upper left-hand corner). In the settings menu, find the “Partners” section. Among the list of available partners, select “Strava” to initiate the connection. Follow the setup instructions displayed on the screen. Once completed, you will see the Strava and Nike icons, accompanied by a green checkmark, which confirms the integration.

With your Nike and Strava accounts linked, the synchronization process becomes automated, ensuring a hassle-free fitness-tracking experience. Note that only activities recorded after you’ve conneted your accounts will sync to Strava; older activities cannot be imported or synchronized.
