Thanks for the response. You have most of the info correct. I have been running years with CS and this has never happened, so I am wondering if the issue started when he Garmin connection option started.
I use RunGo to create turn-by-turn direction for routes; the app also records the run in my log book, but that log book is not linked to Strava (or at least I didn’t do it - I checked the setting for that app and it does not look to be connected). If I need to, I can export a run to GPX file and upload to strava, but even then, Strava never didn’t create the group run issue. I use this app as a backup b/c I have been know to leave Garmin at home or to forget to unpause. I know the RunGo app is showing up in Strava b/c of the name it generates for the route, I just can’t figure out how it gets to Strava.
The real issue is that runs that runs that show up in Strava a group runs don’t appear in CS. I ran yesterday morning, Strava thought it was a group run, no CS activity. I ran last night, only Garmin connect pushed to Strava, so no group run, CS shows that run. It is odd.
Again, this issue has only recently started, and only occurs when Strava thinks these are group runs.
I will use the Sync now feature rather than the forum link.
I will try the Garmin connect only option tomorrow and will pause Strava to see what happens.
