Back Up Your Strava Activities

Nobody makes you run at 6am in the rain. What you did anyway is one of the strongest signals about who you are — stronger than most self-reports. Here's how to get your Strava history out, and why it's worth feeding into a memory tool.

Two export paths

Strava supports both a one-shot ZIP archive and a personal API token. They serve different purposes:

  • ZIP archive — Settings → My Account → Download or Delete Your Account. You get a CSV of every activity (date, sport, distance, duration, elevation) plus per-activity GPX (the route). Delivered by email, usually within a few hours.
  • Personal API token — Settings → API. Create an "application" (name it whatever), copy the access token, and use it with any tool that reads Strava — including Konshus. Revoke instantly on Strava's side any time.

The ZIP is a one-off backup. The token is a live connection you control.

Why activity metadata is identity signal

A Strava activity is a five-column story: date, sport, distance, duration, elevation. That's it. But do that a thousand times and the shape is unmistakable — you're the person who ran the same 5-mile loop on Tuesdays and Thursdays for two years, or the person who takes a big hike every third weekend, or the person who joined Strava, ran hard for six weeks, and then stopped. Those aren't judgments. They're facts your Konshus can reference without you having to type "hey, I like running."

Discipline data is identity in a way self-reports aren't. You can't fake a two-year streak.

Never lose your AI again

Konshus is one way to solve this — a persistent memory vault and portable persona that follows you across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and whatever ships next.

What Konshus does with it

Paste your Strava token at /vault/import/strava. Konshus pulls one artifact per activity (metadata only — no GPS traces, no per-second HR). The distiller finds patterns: "You've held a 4-runs-a-week rhythm for 5 months," "Longest ride of the year happened last Sunday," "You picked up strength training in January." Those become atoms — durable memory the model you're talking to can quote.

It's the difference between "I try to work out" and "You logged 137 workouts across three sports this year with a longest gap of 9 days." Guess which one sounds like memory.
