Sharing your activities on Final Surge

You can upload a single activity directly to Final Surge by opening it from the "Activities" list, tapping the "..." button in the upper right corner and choosing "Share." This will bring up a page where you can choose to share the activity to on or more of the most popular services including Final Surge along with an optional message. Please note that sharing the same workout more than once may create duplicate workouts on Final Surge.

Similarly, you can upload all your activities directly to Final Surge by choosing "Share & Export" from the upper left menu and then "Final Surge." RunGap will then upload all activities not previously uploaded to Final Surge. This may take a while the very first time, but RunGap will automatically skip previously uploaded activities which have not been modified and therefore subsequent exports will complete much faster.

If you need to upload a selection of activities, you can set a filter from the upper, right "..." menu to select workouts within a specific date range, with a special type etc.. Next, choose "Use Filter" and then "Share" from the upper, right "..." to share only the workouts matching by the filter

Finally you can use Auto Sharing to share new workouts as they are imported from other services.

Please note that the Swag Bag [1] is required in order to share activities directly to Final Surge.

Disconnecting your Final Surge Account

To disconnect your Final Surge account, select "Accounts & Settings" from the upper left menu and then "Final Surge." Next, choose "Log out" to disconnect the account.

Troubleshooting

If you see the message "Unable to post activity to Final Surge" it means that RunGap is unable to contact the Final Surge service and upload a workout. This is most likely a communications problem or a problem with your Final Surge account. Please check your Internet connection and try to connect using the Final Surge website to verify your account and the service.

If you have lost your password you can reset it by entering your email address at this link: https://log.finalsurge.com/login.cshtml.

Data Liberation Score

The "Data Liberation Score" is a number in the range 1–5 where 1 is poor and 5 is best. The score indicates how easy it is to access and export your hard-earned workout data from a particular service. Unfortunately it is still common practice that fitness service providers love their users so much that they can't image them leaving and either forget to put handles on the inside of the door or make the door very, very tiny. The Data Liberation Score is meant to bring some attention to this problem

Final Surge has a private API for 3rd party developers, which allows easy upload of workout data. To get data back out you will need to download workouts one by one from the website. Since Final Surge does not track workout data itself but mainly deals with data recorded by other services and devices, the service gets an average score of "3."
