Others just upload their data, but they’re missing the fun and support. There are even actual threads on here about running faster, I believe

Bowman Jun 2021 8:04am, 28 Jun 2021 21 posts	0 Bowman I asked via the help form about getting data from an app that is´t provided here. I guess its a big task to answer all of the members, but anyone knows about the time it usually takes to get an answer? Maybe its impossible to get one of the " big apps" to release its data, since its their value.. But damn i have 8 years of running in the "RUNMETER" app. and i can only get one .fit file at the time, and its not feasible to do in manually..

GDPR says that you are entitled to access your data in a portable format. So you should definitely be able to get hold of it. As to what format they will supply it in, I don't know - as I've not heard of them before.
Bowman Jun 2021 8:20am, 28 Jun 2021 23 posts	0 Bowman Ah ok, yea, sorry, i was a little to eager. They provide an CVS file, but not thew hole thing in Fitfiles/gpx. So you think they should be providing the whole thing in maybe for instance. .Fit files?
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ Jun 2021 9:37am, 28 Jun 2021 41,219 posts	0 ♪♫ Synge ♪♫ Bowman - I don't know anything about Runmeter, but their blurb includes this: "Additionally, you can export and import using GPX, TCX, FIT, and KML formats, and you can export using CSV for analysis in spreadsheets." If you can get your eight years' worth of activities into a CSV file, Fetch will almost certainly be able to accept the whole lot in one go without overwriting anything you already have here. (I can't remember where this facility is on here, but I know I used it a few years ago to import a whole load of old training that was on Excel spreadsheets.)

(And you may well lose some attributes, but you'll be able to import as a minimum date, distance and duration!)

Bowman Jun 2021 10:09am, 28 Jun 2021 24 posts	0 Bowman Ok, that seems really nice Synge, I get the most with this CSV. and will be enough for distance pace date and what not.. ill look in to this. Thanks.
Bowman Jun 2021 12:03pm, 28 Jun 2021 27 posts	0 Bowman Hurray, since i requested my files the last time from "runmeter" and they couldn't help me, they have develop it! So now i got all the file as fit in an Zip file!!! Now i just have to get them in place here. I almost wrote an VBA script to rearrange my CSV-file to fit the uploading criteria here.
