Template tour: tabs & metrics that matter in 2025

The template ships with a lean data tab, a gear tracker, and a starter dashboard. Each column lines up with the fields StrideSync syncs automatically from Strava, so nothing breaks when you enable historical sync.

  • Date, activity type, distance, duration, elevation gain
  • Average pace or speed, heart rate, effort score, calories
  • Gear, surface, weather, personal notes

Gear Tracker

  • Automated mileage totals by shoe, bike, or kit
  • Replacement reminders and maintenance notes
  • Color-coded status for quick decision making

Dashboard Starter

  • Weekly mileage, training load, and time-in-zone charts
  • Year-to-date PR tracker with conditional formatting
  • Filters for sport type so multi-sport athletes stay organized

Copy the template into Google Sheets in under 60 seconds

  1. Click Copy Google Sheet above and confirm the Make a copy prompt to add the template to your Drive.
  2. Rename the mileage, gear, and dashboard tabs (or duplicate them) to match how you track workouts.
  3. Freeze the header row so key metrics stay visible while you scroll.
  4. Need it inside an existing workbook? Download the CSV version and use File → Import → Upload to merge it.

Sharing with a coach or training partner? Use File → Share after copying so only the right people can edit or comment.

Tailor the spreadsheet to your sport and goals

Once your historical Strava data lands in Google Sheets, you can personalize the template without breaking automations. Use the ideas below to dial it in for your training block.

Customization ideas

  • Add column formulas for training load, fatigue, or efficiency score using normalized pace vs. heart rate.
  • Create goal tracking columns like "Next race" countdown or "Mileage to shoe replacement" target.
  • Segment workouts by tagging intervals, long runs, or brick sessions with data validation dropdowns.
  • Highlight PRs automatically using conditional formatting on pace, power, or heart rate thresholds.
  • Share with your coach via restricted access and comment-only suggestions.

If you are managing multiple athletes, duplicate the template per athlete or connect StrideSync to different Google accounts for airtight separation.

Automate Strava updates so the template stays fresh

StrideSync pulls in every past activity for free, then keeps the sheet updated within minutes of finishing a workout. That means no more CSV exports, no Apps Script maintenance, and no missed gear mileage.

Historical backfill

Connect Strava + Google in StrideSync once. We sync your entire history, even hidden or private activities you own. Your sheet will match the column order of the template automatically.

Real-time updates

As soon as you tap save in Strava, StrideSync pushes the activity into Google Sheets. Optional email notifications confirm the sync so you know your log is ready to review.

Pro tip: Pair this template with our dashboard tutorial to build interactive charts without touching Google Apps Script. Power users can then connect Looker Studio or Power BI on top of the same sheet.

Turn the template into a living performance dashboard

Templates are powerful, but the real magic happens when you visualize trends. Use the dashboard starter sheet as a launchpad for deeper insights.

  • Create weekly, monthly, and rolling 42-day mileage charts with built-in sample formulas.
  • Track HRV, RPE, or sleep by adding integrations from wearables that also sync to Google Sheets.
  • Use slicers to toggle between running, cycling, swimming, and strength workouts instantly.
  • Publish a view-only version for accountability partners or coaches.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the template without StrideSync?

Yes, you can make a copy of the template (or download the CSV version) and manually paste data from Strava exports. However, StrideSync automates your full history and ongoing activities so you never lose progress or overwrite formulas.

Does the template work for cyclists, triathletes, or gym workouts?

Absolutely. The column set includes distance, duration, pace/speed, HR, effort score, and gear fields that suit multi-sport training. Add or hide columns depending on the sports you track most often.

How do I share the Google Sheet with my coach?

After making your copy, rename the spreadsheet, organize tabs, then click Share in the top right. Give view or comment access depending on whether teammates or coaches should edit the log.

Will automation overwrite my custom formulas?

StrideSync writes data into dedicated columns and preserves calculated fields as long as you keep formulas to the right of the last synced column. You can also use helper sheets for derived metrics.

What if I want to analyze the same data in Excel or Power BI?

Open the synced Google Sheet, choose File → Download → Microsoft Excel, or connect Power BI directly via the Google Sheets connector. Because StrideSync keeps the sheet updated, every export reflects the latest workouts.
