Download strava fit file

Now we can go back to our Strava tab, scroll to the bottom of the 20 workouts shown in the actual web page, and click the Next button to view the next set. When you do this, you'll see another XHR request in the inspector. This time, it's requesting workouts , whereas the first time, it was workouts It'd be easier if Strava let you change the results per page to something other than 20, but it doesn't. Believe me: I checked. Now you'll see another response below the first one. Keep on going, and your Network panel will look something like this, chock full of good data:.

If you've done CSV, you can do the same in your text editor, grouping all the CSV files into one, or import each into your spreadsheet of choice and manipulating the data from there. If you're a Windows user and feeling particularly brave, you can also follow Tom Nash's instructions on combining CSV files automatically.

I can only hope that Murphy's Law applies here, and after thoughtfully writing this post, Strava releases an update that'll let you export Strava data natively. This is one of my more popular posts and I've gotten some great comments and suggestions. Here's a sampling! Great idea! Expanding on it, here is an alternative solution for those too lazy to repeat the steps for every 20 activities. Which made me think this could be scriptable but only in the browser and session context.

You can then paste the result in a bash window to download the JSON. So I created a quick shell script that looks like this:. In that case, I wanted 36 pages since I have activities in Strava. This yields 36 files containing 20 activities each.

Then joining them together should be easy in your favorite scripting language… - Christian. I wrote a small web tool using the official Strava API to generate an Excel report off all activities. This might save you some json downloading by hand. Bulk json download for all activities is also implemented. His program already does a lot but heart rate data will make it even more valuable.

Connect IQ fields are extra data fields that you can record on a Garmin Device. If you are only using Strava, please don't check this box. Why is this box grayed out? If you don't know what ConnectIQ fields are, you should leave this box unchecked. Checking it will slow down processing of your file. Why is it beta? So far, only a few people have asked for this feature - and I have only received 2 files with ConnectIQ fields for testing.

Each device or app gets its own ID, and each ID needs to be kept track of and re-represented precisely in the output file in order for it to show properly in Garmin Connect.

Use Distance or Use Speed Because this tool is merging separate files, it needs to rebulid the index of accumulated distance. Historically, speed has simply been calculated by taking the distance divided by the amount of time to cover that distance. That calculation happens between each individual trackpoint. This works very well for almost all files - but certain devices such as rowing machines or pool swims do not record distance with fine granularity.

Often, these devices will only increment the distance traveled every meters. This produces a step-like graph for distance, and a staccato-like graph for speed. Fortunately, some of these devices DO record speed accurately. The default setting for this tool is "Use Distance" and I suggest you use that setting unless you are having issues with your speed graph. Otherwise, please try selecting "Use Speed. Historically, I have implemented a 10 trackpoint smoothing for speed. This means that the speed in the output file is actually the estimated average of the 10 seconds flanking that timestamp.

This helps prevent staccato-like speeds in the final output file. Now you have control of how many points to smooth. If you move the slider all the way to the left, there is no smoothing, because the "rolling speed" only looks at one individual point. On the far right, the speed smoothing algorithm will look at the 20 flanking points. The default setting is in the middle, which is 10 flanking points for smoothing. Editing Points A practial use for this feature is a situation where your GPS recorded a spurious point.

With Strava, you can do elevation corrections to fix all the elevation points, but what if you have one heart rate value that is too high? Now you can find it and change it. If you need to fill in a missing chunk of a ride, I have prepared a very detailed tutorial here. Please note that this window may take some time to load! Normally, browser based apps like Strava and Garmin Connect will smooth your data by only including every tenth point or so. This saves a lot of page load time because you are only transferring one tenth of the information.

Because my tool is letting you have very granular control of your tracks, a longer page load time is necessary. Smoothing Elevation This field only applies when you interpolate your tracks. A user approached me about files that he was uploading to the Rouvy Virtual Cycling App.

This app connects to a trainer and resistance is based on the grade in the GPX file. The problem was that there were spurious points in the source GPX file from a Garmin Edge , which caused the trainer to nearly lock up when the pitch of the climb suddenly increased momentarily.

This should help you repair your GPS tracks so that they work better with Rouvy and other virtual ride apps. There is a slider that controls how many points are used to average the elevation. If you leave the slider in the middle, it averages 10 GPS trackpoints. If you slide it all the way to the right, it averages 20 points. All the way to the left, it averages 1 point, which technically is no averaging at all!

The slider will remember your last-used setting. Why reduce points? Merged Files can sometimes become huge files - sometimes they are even too big for Strava to process. If the tool detects that you're trying to export as a FIT file, AND your file has more than 30, points, it will automatically select to reduce the number of points in the export. You can override this simply by changing the drop-down to not discard points or discard fewer points This auto-reduction setting will help you avoid the time-out frustration.

How It Works: Aerobic and Anaerobic training effect are both measures provided by Garmin to estimate how "impacting" a workout was for you. The scale is from 0 to 5 where a score of 5 is "Highly Impacting" and a score of 0 is "Not Impacting. If any of the FIT files you upload to the tool have information in these fields, these boxes will be pre-populated with the highest value from your files. Note that you can override the values if you see fit. Training Peaks. These numbers have become the de-facto way to measure the intensity of cycling workouts with a power meter.

If you are using the Training Peaks software and a power meter, you may want these values in your output file. Garmin Connect has also adopted using these values. If so, you will need to export from the tool in the FIT File format. If any of the FIT files you upload to the tool have data in these fields, these boxes will be pre-populated with the highest value from your files. Why do you want me to donate? I strongly believe in providing you with free tools to fix your Strava tracks.

It provides me with great joy to be able to help people out. Use of this tool has grown exponentially in the last several months. I started to notice that more and more people were getting "Out of Memory" errors due to the heavy usage. For a small website, processing over a million files a year is a big ask especially if you consider that some of the activities people are uploading have millions of data points in each file. I don't want anyone to get those error codes Server error caused by an overloaded server!

I decided to make some of the heavy-hitting features available to a small group of users i. Every single Strava field power, cadence, temperature, etc. The donation-only features are mostly "convenience" features or features related to other tools such as Training Peaks or Garmin Connect. If you really need help and cannot afford to donate, contact me and I can usually fix your GPS track for you. Time in Future: You have a time stamp that is too far into the future.

Sites like Strava will reject this file citing Corrupt Time Data. When you do that, you will see a map and a table with all of your points. Look for a bad point on the map and then use the trash can to delete it. If the map looks OK, check the time stamp for the first and last points of the activity. Trash any points that look wrong. This is because some of the data is naturally omitted. You can just shift all of the points to the correct date and time by specifying the correct start time, and then checking the "Time Shift" box.

This should repair your file. If you still have trouble, please contact me. It allows you to insert the serial number of your device into the final file. Why would you want to do that? If you are uploading to Garmin Connect, in order for some devices to be detected, there needs to be a serial number in the file. Having the serial number in the file does not matter for Strava.

Here is an illustration of how things will look without left and with right the Serial Number embedded. It allows you to insert the Software Version of your device into the final file. It really only shows on Garmin Connect, and does not apply to Strava. Here is an illustration of how things will look without left and with right the Software version embedded. This is for the true recordkeepers. This early-access feature is only available to my Donation Supporters.

How it Works: If you check this box, the total ascent from this Stream will be added to the total ascent from any other checked streams that you have checked. The total ascent in your final Strava upload will be the sum of all the Ascent Streams that you have checked. It is difficult to say what is most accurate - my tool's calc, Strava's calc, or the number reported by your device.

The tool's calc and Strava's calc tend to be higher than the number reported by the device. To avoid surprises, you will probably want to check the ascent boxes. Another way to avoid surprises is to use the "Override Total Ascent" option down in the "Editing Data" field. Anything you enter in that field will take precedence over any other option. Why is the Distance Stream Grayed Out? Also, if you have selected "Do Not Embed Distance" or "Calculate Distance" in the "Embedding Distance" options down below, this field will be grayed out.

If this box is checked, you're using the distance that was embedded by your device. If you select the calculate distance option below, my tool ignores the distance stream in your file, and it re-calculates the distance by adding up the distance between every trackpoint.

Corrupt Time Stamps If your file has corrupted time stamps, the merge might not work. It is OK to give it a try, but keep in mind, that your input file and not my tool may be the source of any downstream problems. My tool tries to rectify any time stamp issues by ignoring time stamps that are obviously not correct. Sometimes, though, if the timestamps are very corrupted, my tool can't fix it. If you want, you can always use the contact form and ask me for help repairing your files.

I have repaired many, but cannot guarantee that your files will be repairable. Laps Inserting Laps is a little tricky when you merge files. There are a couple of reasons why you might not get what you expect. One reason is if you are removing trackpoints either if you choose to discard every X trackpoints, or if you select Remove Duplicates or Only With Position. Laps are going to work best when you are concatenating files merging end-to-end.

Give it a try and see if it works! Finally, I recommend that you only select laps from ONE stream if you have overlapping files. GPX files do not have anywhere to store that information, so this box will be grayed out if you have selected GPX export. By donating to my tools, you have helped me make these tools better for everyone. Thank you for your generosity! All features are unlocked for you. If you ever lose access to these features, please go back to the link you recieved when you signed up or to the welcome message and you can re-unlock the bonus features.

Click Here if you are still getting the donation nag screen this will make it go away. They do an activity in real life and know their average heart rate for an activity from the heart rate monitor. They then will use this option here to insert the single heart rate value into the GPX track. The result will be a flat line heart rate, but it will help them keep track of effort.

It is a rare use-case, so you will probably leave this field blank unless you're in a similar situation. If you select "Do Not Embed Distance", this will make Strava re-calculate your distance from the distance between points. The reason I cannot override un-embedded distance is because Strava ignores any total distance value I send them, and instead, they look at the distance specified between each and every point.

Therefore, I cannot send just one single value, but instead I need to refactor the distance between every single point in your final file! The M and K buttons tell the tool if your entry is in miles M or kilometers K. The distance between each point will be calculated, but then my tool will apply an adjustment factor to each point to achieve your desired total distance. Without one of these two distances to key off of, the override feature will not work.

What is the gray number in this box? Then, the tool will sum up the values for all of the distance streams you have checked and put the result as a placeholder in this box. The purpose of the placeholder is to help you get an idea of the total distance that was in your original files; that is a starting place in case you need to massage the final output. Please do not use this feature to cheat. Remember: Cheaters only cheat themselves.

How It Works: If you enter a number in this field, that is what will show on your Strava feed for the activity. Don't cheat! Cheaters only cheat themselves. The M and F buttons tell the tool if your entry is in meters M or feet F. The light gray number in this field is just a placeholder; it shows the added up values of the Ascent streams that you have checked basically, it does the math for you.

If you don't enter anything, the tool will send Strava the total ascent from the boxes you have checked at the top in "Streams". If you enter any value in this field, then that will override any Ascent boxes you have checked in "Streams". Your elevation profile graph will not be affected - just the total ascent number.

How It Works: If your device didn't calculate the correct number of calories, you can enter a number in this field, and that is the number of calories burned that will show on your Strava feed. Delimeter I have tried to make the CSV file upload as flexible as possible. Your CSV File can be either comma or tab delimted. Do you think to improve your tool? For example are we able to merge our different achivements such as PR, last ride or any ride in a specific date?

Thanks, Ugur. Your PR should be in there if you've authorised my Strava app. I could potentially fill any of them if they are useful. I guess they could also be reused for other things but I think that could be confusing. I'm thinking goal could be pretty useful and I can hopefully just pick it up from Strava, so you can set it to whatever you like? Although looking at it more closely the Strava API doesn't give me access to a user's goal on a segment, but I could probably add an option for adding a custom goal when generating the FIT file?

Just want to say i really appreciate the work you've done setting up this website, it has worked great with my Garmin for sometime now! Many thanks. As far as I can tell it generates FIT files for workouts and uses GPX for routes so it understands the formats but I can't find any information about what it uses for segments If you do buy one I'd certainly be interested to know if works I was leaning towards buying a new Garmin to replace my ageing but maybe I should buy a Wahoo instead for testing purposes!

Hi, I managed to upload the fit file into the newfiles and the segments show up on my garmin edge But the problem is they are getting removed as soon as it syncs.

Is there a way to avoid this happening over and over. Can I add these segments on garmin connect? Hi, Do your PRs automatically update, or do you have to download an updated fit file to overwrite the existing data? Ps your segment downloader is really useful, as Strava have now stopped you from using live segments, if they are downhill. There is no point being a Premium member, if you are a mountain biker now. Thanks for your work! From a first glance, it looks like only the KOM effort is available in the fit file tested on a Garmin Edge I would need the QOM data not the personal data.

Unfortunately some changes by Strava mean the QOM is no longer available to me, just the fastest overall. Did anyone figure out if you can load these fit files onto a wahoo? I'm working on a similar feature for Sauce for Strava but I too only have Garmin's for testing. Doogal You sir are a geezer Since Strava have seen fit in their wisdom to disable live segment loads on anything they consider a downhill segment less than avg gradient minus 0.

I assume that if I beat a PR I'd also have to load. Rival and Challenger are just names for some times you want to add to the FIT file.

They should appear with those names on the Garmin Yes, if you connect to Strava then your PR should come through I don't think they'll get removed when you sync your Strava segments but I've not tested it much using Strava segments. The only issue I've heard of is segments not appearing when following a route, but that seems to be due to the route directions taking precedence over the segment Unfortunately you need to download again if you beat your PR.

I avoid that by being unfit and never beating any of my PRs! Last question if I've successfully loaded file via new files folder will the next sync with Strava remove the segments I've loaded via your tool. I posed this question the other day and can confirm after testing that with your.

This used to work for me i would download the fit file put in in new folder on garmin and change to Garmin seg instead of Strava seg but downhill seg will not trans have Garmin blocked thid too? If so I guess it is something Garmin have done. Otherwise I may have broken something when making changes for changes Strava have made. I was having the same issue as far as the segments being deleted.
