Distance and Speed data upload from stationary trainer using tcx file format

[Flemming Jensen]

Hi,

I am developing this app for a spinning bike that uploads data using the virtual ride type and marks the upload as being from a stationary trainer.

I include speed information and distance data but this seems to be ignored when I check the uploaded ride on Strava.

I do not send any GPS information becuase the spinning bike is stationary...

Is it possible to have distance / speed in this setup?

Flemming - Thanks for the note. Could you send along a sample file?

Hi Chris!

Yes here is a simple xml output with only two data points...

The distance isn't being recorded because we require a distance stream (eg incremental distance readings on each <Trackpoint>) even if there isn't GPS data. This data should generally be available from Garmin devices. Hope this helps.

Hi Chris,

Okay I will try using an accumulated distance parameter instead and see what results I get.

So basically my XML is correct but just needs distance data to be accumulated?

I was also thinking if I needed to change my ride type from Virtual Ride to Ride

Hmm Tried all of the above but still no distance data / speed uploaded to strava....

Does anybody have a good sample XML file for this??
