When running with friends, more often than not someone has a brain fart and forgets to un-pause their app, the battery runs out or running under a bridge means that the route gets some weird artefacts.
Rather than try and play around with the results, I like to just borrow a friend's data and use it - however, when running with Karly I kept on having to manually strip out the HRM and Cadence data from her gpx files.
Since I'm probably not the only guy that does this, I've setup a little tool for you to do it to. Please try it out @ http://gpxstrip.herokuapp.com/
