Workout name not available on Strava

over 1 year ago

On my Garmin Connect calendar I have an activity created by Runna App with a name like "W6 Mon Tempo - Tempo 2ks (9km)". When I do the workout it became "City name - W6 Mon Tempo - Tempo 2ks (9km)".

When I finish the workout it appears as "Afternoon Run" on Strava.

If I open the fit file with https://www.fitfileviewer.com/ I can see it under "wkt name" (see attachment)

Neither Strava nor www.activityfix.com are able to see it.

Do you have any ideas?

    Contact Strava and ask them to reuse the workout names from the FIT files, on their platform too. Currently they always create their own names.

    Problem is, I'm not the first one and also the website to change some activity description doesn't find it under the common 
    "title" nor "fit_name". So I'm not sure it's totally on Strava

    Garmin Connect Website title is not being stored in the FIT file. The FIT file exported from GC web always contains the original data as it was stored by the device, and the device usually does not give any title to the activities. That happens in Garmin Connect, and it is not being stored into the original FIT file. Only workout names are available in the original FIT file. So if you want that the workout name is reused at Strava, there is nobody else than Strava who can implement it on their side.

    Actually, you can fix this with www.activityfix.com (kudos for the rules go to the Support of ActivityFix!).

    You can define one rule to "Set title" to "[[fit_name]]".
    This will only work for new activities and not for "Process Old Activities".

    By default, the resulting title will also contain the location of the activity.
    You can remove the location by adding a second rule to "Replace text" with "/:/^.+?\s-\s/:/" in "title" with "" (keep empty).
    This rule can be triggered when the "Previous Rule" matches the first defined rule.

    "/:/^.+?\s-\s/:/" is a regular expression (a regular expression can be defined by adding "/:/" to the beginning and end).
    "^" matches the beginning of a text
    ".+?" matches any number of characters (the location) until
    "\s-\s" matches the separator " - " between the location and workout name.
