Strava to TCX

This tool uses workout data from the GPS fitness site Strava.com to create Garmin TCX activity files. There's also a separate tool for GPX Export. Longer rides may take up to a minute to process.

Instructions

This tool takes the data from a ride or effort from a URL on Strava and downloads it to your computer as a TCX file
An effort is a specific performance on a segment, exported from URLs like:
- http://app.strava.com/rides/982409#14627351
- http://www.strava.com/rides/mount-holyoke-connecticut-river-982409#14627351
A ride is a full workout, incluing effort data for every segment it overlaps. Ride URLs look like:
- http://app.strava.com/rides/982409
- http://www.strava.com/rides/mount-holyoke-connecticut-river-982409
A Strava segment cannot be exported as a TCX file because it contains no workout data. To export the route of a segment, try using my GPX export tool.

Details

All ride and effort exports contain the following data:
- time
- latitude and longitude
- elevation
- watts (power meter or Strava-generated)
- heartrate (when available)
- cadence (when available)
Due to technical limitations, the calories value for all exports is 0.
Activity types are exported as "Biking", "Running", or "Other" for now.
Stationary rides (trainer, rollers) will export a valid TCX, but some GPS sites may not recognize it.
Despite validating against Garmin's own TCX schema, TCX files generated by this tool are not recognized by Garmin Training Center for OS X.
If you need a format other than TCX, try my Strava GPX Exporter, or use the GPSies Convert Tool after export.
