Step One: Do Something; Get Data
• Start your app. Stop your app! SAVE your session!!!

Step Two: Get Data Out of App
• Useful to open MapMyRun or Strava from Desktop
A. MapMyRun – Copy the 8 Digit workout number from the URL
B. Strava – Copy the entire URL

Step Two (cont): Extract Files
• MapMyRun/MapMyRide: http://www.mikepalumbo.com/MMRConverter/index.php

Step Two (cont): Extract Files • Strava:
Strava will try to send the to a device attached to your computer. Choose the “download the CRS file” option instead.

Step Three: File Conversion • Now you have either a *.gpx or a *.crs file
saved to your machine. *.kml for Foursquare. (If you have a Garmin device, you probably know the *.gpx file format and are already at this point.)
• Right click, and choose ‘Rename’. (I prefer to copy first, then change the copy version)
• Change the file extension to *.xml
• You might receive an warning message, disregard.
• Steve to talk about XML here…
