Bring your history.

Your previous runs belong with your next ones. Import activity files exported from your running apps.

You're not signed in

Use the same Apple account you use for PTrace. Your connections and synced history belong to that account.

How importing works

  1. Export from your running app.

    Pick your running app to see exactly where to click. Most exports happen on the app’s website, so a computer is easiest.

    Export from Strava

    Your whole history as one .zip, or one activity at a time.

    1. Open strava.com in a browser and sign in. The export isn’t in the phone app.
    2. Hover over your name in the upper right corner and choose Settings.
    3. Open the My Account tab on the left. Under Download your account, select Get Started.
    4. Select Request download. Strava emails you a link, which can take a few hours.
    5. Download the .zip from the email and upload it here as it is.
    6. Only need one run? On its activity page, open the More (…) menu and select Export Original, or Export GPX.

    Menus move now and then. If yours looks different, Strava’s own guide(opens in a new tab) has the latest.

    Export from Garmin Connect

    One activity at a time, or your whole history as FIT files.

    1. Open connect.garmin.com in a browser and sign in. The export isn’t in the phone app.
    2. Select Activities in the navigation bar on the left, then All Activities, and select the name of the activity you want.
    3. Select the settings gear icon in the top right corner and choose Export File. That’s the file your watch recorded, usually FIT, with everything in it.
    4. Upload the downloaded file here. If Garmin hands you a .zip, that works as it is.
    5. For your whole history, go to garmin.com/account/datamanagement, select Export Your Data, then Request Data Export. Garmin emails a link, usually within 48 hours. Unzip that download and open DI_CONNECT, then DI-Connect-Fitness-Uploaded-Files (or DI-Connect-Uploaded-Files). Upload what’s inside: the FIT files, or the smaller .zip files that hold them.

    Menus move now and then. If yours looks different, Garmin Connect’s own guide(opens in a new tab) has the latest.

    Export from Runkeeper

    Any date range as one .zip of GPX files.

    1. Open runkeeper.com in a browser and sign in. The export isn’t in the phone app.
    2. Select the settings gear in the top right corner, then Account Settings.
    3. Scroll to the bottom and click the Export Data tab on the left.
    4. Pick a starting and ending date that cover the runs you want, and click Export Data.
    5. When the export is ready, click Download Now! and upload the .zip here as it is.
    6. Runkeeper leaves out activities without GPS, such as manual entries and runs recorded on an Apple Watch alone. The CSV files in the .zip are skipped.

    Menus move now and then. If yours looks different, Runkeeper’s own guide(opens in a new tab) has the latest.

    Export from adidas Running

    Your whole account as one .zip, sent by email.

    1. Open runtastic.com in a browser and sign in with your adidas Running account.
    2. Open your settings and click Account & Data in the menu on the left.
    3. Click Export Data. adidas needs a confirmed email address, and preparing the export can take a few days.
    4. When the email arrives, sign in again, go back to Account & Data and click Download Export.
    5. Upload the .zip here as it is. PTrace picks out the GPX files and skips the rest.
    6. Only activities recorded with GPS come with a GPX file, so indoor and manual entries are left out.

    Menus move now and then. If yours looks different, adidas Running’s own guide(opens in a new tab) has the latest.

    Export from Polar Flow

    One training session at a time, as TCX, FIT or GPX.

    1. Open flow.polar.com in a browser and sign in.
    2. Go to Diary and click a training session to open it.
    3. Open the Export menu in the top right and choose TCX. It carries the route and your heart rate; GPX carries the route alone.
    4. Upload the downloaded file here. If you chose the zipped version, that works as it is.
    5. Polar exports one session at a time. Its account-wide Download your data isn’t made of activity files, so PTrace can’t read it.

    Menus move now and then. If yours looks different, Polar Flow’s own guide(opens in a new tab) has the latest.

    Export from COROS

    Your whole history by email, or one workout from the app.

    1. Open training.coros.com (COROS Training Hub) on a computer and sign in.
    2. Click the Activity List tab at the top of the screen.
    3. Select Export Data on the right, choose .FIT and enter your email address.
    4. Download the files from the email COROS sends. If they arrive as one .zip, upload it here as it is.
    5. Only need one workout? In the COROS app, open it, tap the top right corner and select Export Data, then .FIT. Send the file to yourself and upload it here.

    Menus move now and then. If yours looks different, COROS’s own guide(opens in a new tab) has the latest.

    Using something else? Look for “Export” or “Download your data” in the app’s settings or on its website. Any GPX, TCX or FIT file works, whichever app or watch made it. Apple Health workouts import in the PTrace app, with no files needed.

  2. Upload the files here.

    Sign in with the same Apple account you use in the PTrace app, then choose your files. You can upload a whole .zip export as it is. Routes, heart rate and laps come along when the file contains them.

  3. Find them on your phone.

    With sync turned on in the PTrace app, imported activities appear next to the runs you record. A file you’ve already imported isn’t added twice.
