Strava -> FinalSurge Bulk Uploader

A hacky set of scripts to download all Strava activities as TCX files and then upload them to FinalSurge.

I needed a way to efficiently move all my previous running data into FinalSurge to support some ultrarunning coaching. Didn't want to do this labor intense process manually so I wrote a couple scripts. Hope you find them helpful.

Gotchas

• This is not production quality code, it worked when I needed it and I wanted to make it public in case others could make use of it.
• It uses a hack to fake the request that FinalSurge garmin upload web form was making. This is obviously brittle as any change to that forms inputs will break this script.
  • If it does break you will need to use the chrome web inspector find the new form strucutre and update the finalsurge post request.

Usage

1. Grab your strava cookies using method of your choice. (I used chrome web inspector after normal web login)
2. set STRAVA_COOKIE env variable to the above value.
3. Grab your FinalSurge cookie using method of your choice. (Again I used chrome web inspector after normal web login)
4. set FINALSURGE_COOKIE to the value obtained in step 3.
5. set STRAVA_API_ACCESS_TOKEN to your strava api access token.
6. set STRAVA_ACTIVITY_PATH to an existing directory where you want all your strava activites to download.
7. Run: ruby download_strava_data.rb
8. Run: ruby upload_to_finalsurge.rb
9. Use FinalSurge UI to add the newly uploaded files to your training log.
