If you’re using GarminConnect to manage your Zwift workouts in conjunction with MyFitnessPal, you may have noticed that Zwift no longer syncs automatically. What a pain! After creeping around on the forums, I found the solution and thought I’d post it here. Screenshots below.

Step 1: Open GarminConnect on your smartphone or in your browser.

Step 2: Click on the Zwift activity.

Step 3: Click on the three dots menu (phone app) then “Edit Activity”

Step 4: Change the “Activity Type” from “Virtual Ride” to “Indoor Cycling”

Step 5: Click “Save.”

That’s it! It may take a few minutes to sync up.
