Strava-Top-Speed

A mini repo containing code to extract top speed from Strava .gpx data

Step 0. Download your Strava data

  • Go to: Settings > My Account > Download or Delete Your Account > Get Started > Request your archive
  • You will receive an email with a .zip file
  • Extract the file and keep all the .gpx files
  • Place the files in the same directory as the main Python script you downloaded from this repo
  • Edit the Python script on line 17 to change the number of total_rides to the total number of .gpx files you have (in my case 112). You can also edit the threshold value to check for a reasonable speed (helps exclude GPS errors).

Step 1. Download and install Python + libraries

  • Download Python here
  • To install the libraries: pip install pandas and pip install gpxpy

Step 2. Run

  • Run the script and examine the output
