Remove HR data but keep GPS

Former Member over 12 years ago

I've just been out running, and my HR monitor has recorded a spike where my HR went upto over 220bpm, which is well above my maximum HR. Clearly an error, is there any way to remove it from Garmin Connect - either smooth out the spike, or just remove HR data from that run alone.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I've been doing this for a long time with a batch file... I keep three of them on my desktop (strip_heartrate_from_tcx.bat, strip_gps_from_tcx.bat, and strip_elevation_from_tcx.bat). I just save the tcx for the offending activity to my desktop, and then drag the tcx file to the script I want to apply.

amazing place this forum!
I have just learned how to make regular expressions and what a batch file is! wow, I might turn into an IT knowledgable guy now. Serious, this is cool, thanks for the great tips!

This is great! Well done guys!

I just updated to Garmin Express and now need to figure out where the damn TCX files are now stored! I have a feeling I should go back to using the ant agent.

@Travis, I noticed you posted a response to another thread about missing FIT files when using Garmin Express. Maybe you can explain your workflow for when you need to correct your TCX files which don't seem to exist in the same folder as the FIT files with Express.
Do you download the offending activity tcx, fix it with a batch file, delete the original off Garmin Connect then upload the clean new one?

Cheers,

Phil

Exactly. I only do it when I have a problem (i.e., I spin in the garage but leave my GPS on, so I strip out the GPS data).

I've developed a free online tool which allows anyone to bulk edit HR data within a TCX file (to get rid of pesky spikes). The tool also lets you strip out HR data.
The code hasn't been tested fully across browsers, but it works well on latest Chrome, Firefox or Safari browsers (IE coming later)
