It's no secret that Nike and Microsoft haven't been closest (thank you, Mr. Cook), and that Nike+ offers quite the nice fitness social network that specializes in running. But now that Microsoft Health has partnered with Strava, it is possible to manually upload your runs to Nike+ with a simple trick which even carries over your heart-rate statistics in your run.

So if you have a Nike+ account, or you're looking for a new device that connects with Nike+, you're in luck. And if you don't have a Nike+ account, I highly recommend checking out the platform since it offers some strong social features, and displays your runs in a beautiful way.

Requirements:

Microsoft Band

Strava

Nike+

Steps:

1. Make sure your Microsoft Health account is connected with Strava, go here to do so.

2. Track your next run with your Microsoft Band. (if you already have running activities on Strava, you're golden)

3. Go to your running event on Strava, click the wrench, click the option "export to GPX" and save the file in any folder you wish.
