Import an activity
Under Devices → Import, select a file from your watch or sports platform. MINDRAW extracts available data and calculates compatible indicators.
Automatic connections
In the current version, direct API connections to Garmin Connect, Strava, COROS, Polar and other platforms are not active yet. Their integration is in development and also depends on access granted by each provider.
For now, export the activity from your platform and import the file manually into MINDRAW. This already enables session analysis and the runner profile.
Where to find it
- Desktop: Devices → Import a file.
- Mobile: More → Import.
- To find imported files later: Activities.
Most useful data
- timestamp, duration and moving time;
- distance and speed;
- heart rate;
- altitude;
- cadence and stride length;
- power, when supplied by the device;
- temperature, when recorded.
An activity can still be imported when some sensors are missing. Related indicators will be absent or less precise.
Supported formats
| Format | Main use |
|---|---|
.fit | recommended format, generally the most complete |
.gpx | GPS route and heart rate when present |
.tcx | GPS, heart rate and cadence depending on the export |
.csv | structured lap or interval data |
Prefer FIT when available because it generally preserves more watch data.
Checks after import
Check distance, duration, pace, heart rate and elevation. A poorly recorded pause, GPS loss or heart-rate sensor dropout can change the interpretation.
MINDRAW calculates moving time when speed exceeds 0.5 m/s (1.8 km/h). Stops and data gaps can therefore explain a difference from your watch.
Import a session made of several files
Full session mode groups several activities, such as repetitions or intervals exported separately. Select at least two files, check their order, choose the session type and terrain, then start the import.
