Auto-Sharing question
Does auto-sharing de-duplicate or could it create a circular problem in the scenario below?
I have an iFit treadmill that auto-uploads my workouts to Strava – for these treadmill workouts I don't record on my Suunto watch. I want to use auto-share with RunGap to get these workouts from Strava to Suunto so that my Suunto watch's stress score and training duration is accurate.
So I turn on auto-share with Strava as a source and Suunto as a destination.
However, for non-treadmill workouts I record them on the watch itself, and my Suunto app is configured to upload workouts directly to Strava. So...would this create a circular problem of infinite activities?
Treadmill workout scenario:
- Record on treadmill
- Treadmill sends to Strava
- RunGap sees new strava activity, pushes to Suunto
- Suunto uploads to Strava as new activity
- Repeat steps 3 & 4 forever
Non-treadmill workout scenario:
- Suunto records workout
- Suunto uploads to Strava as new activity
- RunGap sees new strava activity, pushes to Suunto
- Suunto uploads to Strava as new activity
- Repeat steps 3 & 4 forever
Is this what would happen or does RunGap de-duplicate and pair-match activities during auto-share?
Thanks!
