Automatically get your Strava Data into Google Sheets

Who wouldn’t want to see their training data in a spreadsheet? Veloviewer is an amazing tool that does this for you, but if you simply want a single sheet with all your data then Zapier is the app for you

It’s completely free and automatically updates a Google sheet with all the data that Strava exposes in its API.

Here’s what you need to do to get it working.

• Set up a free Zapier Acount
• Set up a free Google account if you don’t have one
• Set up a Google sheet and add some or all of the column header listed at the bottom of this post
• Map the Google sheet headers to the Strava headers
• Test the Zap
• Switch on the Zap

And here are detailed instructions for you to follow:

Go to Google Sheets (Sign up for a Google account if needed) and create a new sheet.

Add the headers you want from the list at the bottom of this post to the Google sheet

Create a Zapier Account and go to your dashboard.

In the “connect this app” field type Strava.
