<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.strava.com/" target="_blank">Strava</a> is a fitness app that records you activities, including the routes of your walks, rides and runs. The service also provides an <a rel="nofollow" href="https://strava.github.io/api/" target="_blank">API</a> that allows you to extract all of your data for analysis. University of Melbourne research fellow <a rel="nofollow" href="https://marcusvolz.com/" target="_blank">Marcus Volz</a> created an <a rel="nofollow" href="https://marcusvolz.com/?p=4068" target="_blank">R package to download and visualize Strava data</a>, and created a chart to visualize all of his runs over six years as a small multiple.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://a5.typepad.com/6a0105360ba1c6970c01bb09eba48d970d-pi" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Volz-runs" title="Volz-runs" src="http://a5.typepad.com/6a0105360ba1c6970c01bb09eba48d970d-800wi"></a></p>
<p>Inspired by his work (and the availability of the R package he created), others also visualized bike rides, activity calendars, and aggregated route maps with elevation data. (You can see several examples in the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/i/moments/955815938401685510" target="_blank">Twitter moment</a> embedded below.) If you'd like to download your own Strava data, all you need a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://developers.strava.com/" target="_blank">Strava access token</a>, a recent version of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/what-is-r" target="_blank">R</a> (3.4.3 or later) and the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/marcusvolz/strava" target="_blank">strava package found on Github</a>.</p>
