Switch intervals.icu from Strava pull to Garmin pull? (Mainly because I want L/R power data)

I’ve always had i.icu pull my data in from Strava, as that’s where I had all my outdoor rides (garmin) and indoor rides (zwift, TR) together.

I’ve come to realise that Strava bins a lot of data though, for instance L/R power split. Coming back from an ACL injury this is suddenly an interesting metric for me. (Over the last month have seen it slowly improve from 40/60 to 42/58, getting there!)

So I’d like to pull my data “from the source”, and historically, rather than from Strava. But if I change that now, am I going to end up with hundreds of duplicated activities, and then have to tediously delete them all?

Additionally it seems there is no TR option - is the best I can do to set it to pull Strava but only for virtual rides? In theory my Neo also should be reporting L/R power data - no idea if TR holds onto that information or just bins it, but I do know if it goes via Strava, Strava certainly bins it. :thinking:

Thank you!

You won’t have duplicates if you change the pull-source. You can set to get old data or just go on from today. For TR you can set up a dropbox that intervals.icu can pull the data from - it’s a workaround that needs 5-10min of your attention to set up. If you already have a dropbox account it’s even faster. hope that helps

Thanks for the Dropbox tip, I’ll get on that :+1::+1::+1:

Pulling data from Trainerroad via Dropbox works well. The problem is rather, that also Trainerroad doesn’t store L/R data. For some time I ran my headunit in parallel and pulled both files into intervals.icu to have also L/R data and other useful data.

It wasn’t worth the hassle and I don’t want my headunit to be covered in sweat all the time.

So I’ve tried to re-jig everything so that I pull from source rather than a 3rd party. Intervals.icu now set up how I want it, great.

But I tried to do the same for TrainerRoad, removed its connection to Strava (fine), which deleted all Strava activities on it (again, fine), and connected it to Garmin to re-pull my outdoor history from there instead. I then went for a ride and it correctly imported that from Garmin. But 18hrs later it’s failed to import any of my history.

If any TR admins are reading this could you have a look/poke please!
