Converts MapMyRun Data to GPX File

mapmyrun2gpx

Converts mapmyrun workout data to a GPX formatted file - Linux only, tested on Debian.

This is a VERY SIMPLISTIC implementation of getting your precious workout data from mapmyrun with all the timings.

Motivation

I'm moving from mapmyrun to Strava and want to take my data with me and import it - after all, it's mine (I did all the running!). Unfortunately mapmyrun only gives you access to the route data, not how you ran it.

What does it do?

It makes a request to a workout page, as identified by its ID, and scrapes a JSON request for building the maps. It then takes the start time of the workout and uses that as a baseline for populating the rest of the GPX data.

Once done it drops the GPX data into a file named 'workout_ID'.gpx in the output directory done.

How to run it

NOTE: In order for this script to access your workout data you must make sure that each workout is set to be accessible publically. That's done by selecting the 'world' button on the top right hand toolbar of the workout view.

Just find the workout IDs of the workouts you want GPX data for. That ID is present in the URL, for example: http://www.mapmyrun.com/workout/123456789. Add one or more at the end of the getmmr2gpx.py file thus:

    if __name__ == '__main__':

        # Chuck 'em in here at will!
        process('123456788')
        process('123456789')

Add as many as you like in the code above - it will chew though them all, leaving you a load of *.gpx files in the output directory. When you're ready just run it:

$ python getmmr2gpx.py

It either prints 'Error!' or 'Done!' once per call to process() - that's either a pass or a fail, respectively.

Requirements

Just run:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Please note that (on Debian/Ubuntu) lxml has certain requirements best addressed by running the following beforehand:

$ apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-dev

Regarding other Linuxes, please google or whatever.
