I try to import a .fit file downloaded from strava but i get the message:
No workout_step messages found
Is there a way to implement this so i can import outdoor rides to make a next week fitness prediction?
The .fit file is generated by the wahoo app and contains the following information:

Is the FIT File

  1. a workout file?
  2. a completed outdoor ride?

if #1, I’m not entirely sure if FIT workout files are supported yet. I know it’s been requested
if #2, you should be able to just upload the FIT file directly and it will get parsed by intervals.icu

Ways to get completed Workouts to Intervals

  1. Wahoo → Strava → intervals
  2. Wahoo → DropBox → Intervals

Yes, it is an outdoor ride, i try to import it into the Add Calendar Entry for next week to predict my fitness level.

You can’t import an activity file as a planned workout.b
If you just want to predict Fitness, create a future workout with the load of the former ride.

if you want the exact same ride (more or less) as well as use the ride to predict your fitness, you can create a workout Based on your ride by

  1. import the ride into intervals
  2. open the workout library
  3. drag and drop the imported workout int the workout library (this will create a workout based on the outdoor ride)
  4. drag this workout onto your calendar

Alternatively, BreakAway: Indoor Training App Now with Intervals.icu Calendar integration (Workout Of The Day) also supports converting outdoor workouts directly into either slope based or erg based workouts

but if you only want to predict fitness, just enter the load manually into the calender and it will calculate it. No need to import any workouts.

Thanks!
Currently i create zwo workouts with the free zwift workout editor: https://www.zwiftworkout.com/ but it would have been nice to simple drag an existing workout to the next week.

7

Thanks! The problem is that fit files are not supported by intervals atm.
I will have a look at the Breakaway app.

Why not create your workouts with the intervals.icu workout builder and download them as .zwo files. That way you will start to build a library of workouts and you can then also use them to predict fitness by dragging and dropping them onto calendar.

If you already have a library of .zwo workouts from the free zwift editor you can also add these to the intervals.icu library and import them into the calendar.

That’s what i’m already doing, but it would have been nice to import an exact copy of a workout.

I think I’m missing something in all these discussion.

Your Ask :
Able to import an Outdoor Ride (FIT) into Intervals.icu and then have that ride converted to a workout for you to drag and drop into any days in the calendar.

Is that what you mean?

If yes, then these would solve your situation wont it?

Or are you referring NOT to actual outdoor rides, but workouts in the FIT file format? (similar like ERG / ZWO / MRC formats)

You can also create workouts within intervals.icu using its workout builder.

I haven’t looked at app4g yet (is that an mobile app only or does it also work on the PC?

12

Intervals.icu can import workouts from fit files (activity and workout). In both cases the file needs to contain workout_step messages.

If your activity file doesn’t have those (i.e. it doesn’t include the workout) then you can do as @app4g suggests. Upload to your calendar, get the intervals right and then drag it onto a library folder to create a workout.

Why do the strava fit files contain no workout data?

15

Can you help define exactly what are these FIT files from strava?

  1. Completed workouts FIT files?
  2. Planned Workouts FIT files?

I don’t have a strava premium sub, so I can’t download any FIT files from strava, nor download/plan any workouts on Strava. (I’m not sure if there’s this option as I never did read about it since I don’t have a premium sub anyways)

16

It’s a completed workout file (in my first message at the top):
Namiddagrit.fit

Here is the raw data of the workout:
https://runalyze.com/tool/fit-viewer/2b914eb60ae36f852d1f3de5d0260a63/view

Had to google what “workout steps” means…
from the FIT specs File Types | FIT SDK | Garmin Developers

workoutStep = The Workout Step message is used to define the instructions for each step of the workout.

But you say that your workout is a completed workout, hence it’s not a Planned Structured Workout, hence, it should not have the need for “workout step”.

Sorry… no clue whats happening w your file. I can upload any of my FIT files (either generated from Garmin Watch or from the BreakAway App) and it works just fine.

possibly share the fit file.

This is not the raw FIT file. This is already decoded and is not useful for uploading.

Hmm ok, i’m not an expert… :slight_smile:
Just to make sure we talk about the same thing… i want to upload the file into the Add Calendar Entry.

Yes… Exactly what i am referring to as well…

Works…

share your RAW fit file… then we can try to help…
