I.Why export from Coros

Coros (Apex, Vertix, Pace) equips a growing share of performance-oriented runners and cyclists. The high-end watches carry a very clean barometer, which makes elevation figures particularly reliable — a direct asset for a fine analysis of positive elevation gain.

The Coros app and the web Training Hub store your activities and give the first readings, but to isolate a precise portion — the climb of a col, the final sprint, a surge — a dedicated tool stays more surgical. The exported .gpx preserves the Coros barometer reading as is, which is what you want.

II.On desktop, from the Training Hub

  1. Open trainingcoros.com in a browser and sign in with your Coros credentials.
  2. Click the activity you want to export to open its detail page.
  3. At the top right, click the export icon.
  4. Choose the .gpx format.

The file downloads immediately. The Training Hub also offers TCX and FIT formats if you want cadence, power or the effort zones Coros computes — but those formats are not GPX.

III.On mobile, via the Coros app

  1. Open the activity in the Coros mobile app.
  2. Tap the three dots at the top right of the activity page.
  3. Choose « Export data ».
  4. Select the .gpx format. The file can then be sent by email, shared via cloud apps, or saved locally.

IV.And then?

You have your .gpx, Coros barometer intact. To analyse a precise portion — the climb of a col in performance mode, the closing reps of an interval session, the technical section of a trail — drop the file into GPXchunk. No data ever leaves your browser, no account required.

Coros tends to offer many proprietary metrics (Effort Score, Recovery…). The twelve measures inside a raw GPX track — the ones GPXchunk recomputes — are more universal. The glossary of the 12 measures of a GPX track walks through each one.
