Does anyone know how to import data from Sporty Pal? I left Run Keeper (because it was glitchy) for 8 1/2 years… Now back to RK becasue I liked the idea of this Life Map. I would love to be able to import those runs here…

Thank you,  
Brian

It looks like it’s _technically_ possible, but a bit difficult. You can export a GPX file of each activity from Sportypal, then import those files into Runkeeper.

Personally i prefer Strava over RunKeeper. In the long run i think i would put my data where it’s easier to get back out again.

There is a site called [https://tapiriik.com](https://tapiriik.com) that syncs between different services.  
They don’t have sportypal, but perhaps they can be concvinced to support it.  
[Issues · cpfair/tapiriik · GitHub](https://github.com/cpfair/tapiriik/issues)

Or you could outsource the job 😄

Think hard before relying on Strava. They have very strict API limits, to the point where CS has major lags getting updates from runners using Strava.

Yes, this is a sign of how popular Strava is. But if you want to use Strava as a link elsewhere, you may wish to rethink that decision.
