How to get more information from a workout route

This How-To shows how to get more information from a workout route, e.g. workout start/end, duration, max/min/avg of speed, elevation, vAcc, hAcc and course.

1. Load the data

from watchlib.data_handler import DataLoader

dl = DataLoader("path/to/apple_health_export")
routes = dl.load_routes()

2. Get a specific route

You can get a specific route by selecting a route from the list of loaded routes that we just created or use the method dl.load_route("name_of_the_route.gpx"). For this guide we will use the previously loaded list:

from watchlib.data_handler import DataLoader

dl = DataLoader("path/to/apple_health_export")
routes = dl.load_routes()
route = routes[0]

3. Get various metrics for a route

from watchlib.data_handler import DataLoader

dl = DataLoader("path/to/apple_health_export")
routes = dl.load_routes()
route = routes[0]

elevation = route.elevation

max_elevation = elevation.max()
min_elevation = elevation.min()
mean_elevation = elevation.mean()

4. Use the describe method

For a quick overview you can use the describe() method which will print the values for:

• count
• mean
• std (standard deviation)
• min
• 25% (percentile)
• 50% (percentile)
• 75% (percentile)
• max

from watchlib.data_handler import DataLoader

dl = DataLoader("path/to/apple_health_export")
routes = dl.load_routes()
route = routes[0]

route.elevation.describe()
