I already explored how to get your activities from Strava. Maybe you use Runalyze instead? In that case you can do some web scraping to export your data.

library(httr)
library(rvest)
library(glue)
library(readr)
library(dplyr)
library(stringr)
library(tidyr)
library(lubridate)
library(hms)
library(janitor)
library(ggplot2)
library(forcats)
library(tibble)
library(purrr)

Runalyze allows you to download your tabular data as a CSV (so no tracks). The only complicated part is the login: you have to get a token.

token <- GET("https://runalyze.com/login") |> 
  content() |>
  html_elements("input[name=_csrf_token]") |> 
  html_attr("value")

POST("https://runalyze.com/login",
     body = list(
       "_username" = Sys.getenv("RUNALYZE_U"),
       "_password" = Sys.getenv("RUNALYZE_P"),
       "_remember_me" = "on",
       "_csrf_token" = token))

GET("https://runalyze.com/_internal/data/activities/all",
    write_disk(glue("{tempdir()}/runalyze.csv"), overwrite = TRUE))

Fairly easy. Then, you get all your activities.

There is also an API for other uses, but I didn’t try it. I didn’t try to get the GPS data either (seems less straightforward).
