take all activities that have been automatically assigned as “cycling” and move them to a newly-created “running” profile?
The support page mentions deleting a profile that isn’t used (which I don’t have the link for in my profile settings, btw) but that also deletes all of the activities associated with it which I very much don’t want to do. Or do I need to do this and then re-sync all my years of running data into Xert to my running profile?
I have walking and hiking tagged as cycling too going back years and it doesn’t matter when I upload them, if they aren’t running, they were always tagged cycling. How do I move them to the new running profile I setup?
You should remove them from your cycling profile first.
From there, you should be able to retroactively sync Walking/Hiking activities into the running account if you’d like. You may need to enable walking/hiking under the Strava activity type settings - by default only Runs/Virtual runs are automatically enabled in the running profile:
Thanks for the info, but, this doesn’t really help me either. I don’t use Strava for managing my data, I use Golden Cheetah.
So I’d assume I’d have to delete years worth of activities, go into GC and edit the activity type, and re-upload? This doesn’t sound like a viable solution when I’ve been using Xert since it was in beta. I couldn’t guess how long that would take for something that should be just a button to select what profile when you edit the activity.
