It's pretty difficult to support many different import formats which include extensions to support extra data like cadence, heart rate et cetera.

Our two native formats are: GPX and TCX

Other formats are first converted to GPX using GPSBabel.

Cadence in a TCX file should be already supported! Please send the file in question to support@rungps.net so check what's wrong.

GPX or TCX Import to GPS Sport

It's not so easy to include title and description of a training in TCX.

If we use an activity object (which would be correct as it is an activity), we only have one "Notes" field where we'd have to put both title and description. Nobody seems to use this field.

If we'd use a course object instead (which would be wrong since a recorded training is an activity and not a course), we could store a name (max. 15 characters) and in addition "Notes". In a course object, important fields like "Calories" and "Speed" are missing.

I would like also export the title name and description of my trainings!

How can I do that then?

So when I want to sync my trainings to Strava it will be having the same title name and description!

Here's a good comparison:

I'd prefer TCX. But note: the title and description of a training is not included.

Is there any difference between GPX or TCX files when I export my trainings?

Which is better and preserving the most data?
