Ask HN: Third party software to combine fitness tracking data

2 pointsCtrlAltEngage6y ago5 comments

Does anyone have any recommendations for third party software where I could combine data from things like Garmin Connect and MyFitnessPal? I'm looking for something that will give me better/more configurable ways to view data and maybe even something that offers some data analysis.

An example that isn't quite what I'm looking for is Runalyze. Runalyze lets you import Garmin or Polar (etc) data and offers a lot of extra analysis, e.g. TRIMP and fatigue. The problem is, as the name suggests, it is heavily focused on running and doesn't support other activities as well. It also doesn't have anything for calorie tracking.

Not true, we support several sport types and you can create any sport type you like. If you would tell me what's missing I would understand why you are saying it's only for running

Hi there, I take it you own/work for runalyze? I'm not saying it's only for running, just that it's aimed primarily at running. I can take some time to give some more detailed feedback if you're interested? Overall I do think Runalyze is really interesting and offers some great analysis

Primarily running is correct, although we try to make the focus more to the triathlon sport types. Yes, Hannes and me are working on RUNALYZE (still a side project - so we don't earn money with it yet). I'm always happy to hear feedback (so not just new feature wishes, but feedback to the current existing version). You can always write a mail to michael@runalyze.com :)

I also hadn't seen that you can create sport types - I'll definitely look into that!
