Cropping Activities?

Hi there,

My polar H10 is playing up… I am in Costa Rica so unable to get it swapped out thus i’ve resorted to recording my HR with my Garmin 645, which doesn’t connect to my laptop via bluetooth so I’m getting 2 separate activities. I am removing the load from the garmin file so it doesn’t affect my fitness chart however sometimes I forget to stop my watch and the file is super long. I have no way of cropping the file in strava. I’m wondering what my options are? Other than remembering to stop the watch! :smiley:

i tot garmin now has a feature to crop? but I’m not sure if they allow / will be present in the FIT file or just processed internally.

have you tried looking at gotoes? Combining Strava GPS (TCX|GPX|FIT) files, exporting GPX files from Garmin Connect, and adding time stamps to GPX files - GOTOES free utilities

You can crop a file in Fitfiletools.

Well… Actually you can crop in Intervals too :wink:

Yes I did see that option but it tells me to use strava however there is no option to crop on strava for the garmin activity. I can crop the zwift activity but that isn’t the issue for me. Duno why the Garmin activity is different. Cheers though mate! :smiley:

Hey bro thanks, ya in garmin I can adjust the time which does essentially crop it but that doesn’t update the file in strava unfortauntely… thus doesnt update to intervals.

Yes I think this is the only option that will work for me. Cheers. Appreciate it.

Strava will only allow cropping for activities that have GPS data. Somehow, Zwift rides manage to do this. However, any other indoor activity doesn’t have cropping ability in Strava…including riding the velodrome :frowning:

it for sure won’t update strava / intervals automatically, I just wonder if ou download the file and manually upload, will it work. I guess not too… I don’t think garmin will update the FIT file w/ the cropped data.
