🦅 Welcome to The Eagle

The Eagle is a lightweight and powerful Python project designed to read, analyze, and visualize .FIT files (Flexible and Interoperable Data Transfer) commonly used in GPS devices, fitness trackers (like Garmin), and smartwatches. The goal of this repository is to empower runners, and developers with meaningful insights extracted from their workout data.

What Does This Project Do?

  • Read .FIT Files: Parse FIT files seamlessly using fitparse.
  • Extract Key Metrics: Get stats like distance, heart rate, cadence, pace, power, elevation, and VO2 max.
  • Generate Visual Reports: Visualize workout sessions (splits, zones, effort curves, etc.)
  • Powerful Data Tools: Clean and transform workout data for deeper analysis.
  • Insight Engine (Coming Soon): Suggest training load, recovery, performance trends.

Why the Name The Eagle?

Eagles symbolize vision, precision, and altitude everything an endurance athlete or a data-driven fitness enthusiast aspires to achieve. This project helps you see your training from above and make informed decisions.

Tech Stack

  • Language: Python 3
