Strava — what happens to your recordings

Indoor training is lonely. Connecting Strava changes nothing about the workout, but quite a lot about whether you finish it.

An hour in the basement nobody knows about and an hour five friends can see cost the same and weigh differently. In a week when motivation gives out, the fact that the session will show up somewhere can be the difference.

Ognik isn't a social network

No friends, no kudos, no feed of other people's workouts — and none planned. Ognik sends your recordings to where your friends already are: you train here, it shows on Strava.

The upload goes one way

Ognik asks Strava for write permission only. It doesn't read rides, history, routes or segments. Consequences:

Connect the account

  1. In your profile find the Strava section ("Not connected").
  2. Tap "Connect Strava" and log in — the consent covers one permission.
  3. Back in the app you'll see "Connected to Strava" and "Last upload". Every saved recording goes across on its own, in the background.

Connect Strava

When the phone loses signal, the section shows "Waiting to upload", and "Upload pending" sends everything with one tap.

End of the path: you have an FTP, a player you understand, workouts of your own, a plan, a goal with a deadline and a way to survive February. The rest is repetition.
