1. Login to the Garmin Connect.
2. Select Activities > All Activities from the menu to view your recent activities.
3. Select the runner icon to filter by running activities. (This will also make the "Advanced" button visible)
4. If you've already exported the last 5 years of data then you only need your older data.
   Click advanced and set the "To" date range to 2019-12-21 (today's date 5 years ago).
5. Open the 1st activity in the list by clicking on the title.
6. Press F12 to open the Developer tools window.
   You'll see a window with cache messages, and a lot of yellow and red errors from Garmin's website.
7. Copy the code above by clicking the Copy button
8. Paste the code into the Developer Tools window that opened when you pressed F12 in your browser.
9. Press the Enter key to start running the code. You should see a message
10. You'll see a message that says Download started. After every 10 activities are downloaded you'll see a message dispaying the count of activities downloaded so far. If you have a lot of activites this process can take a long time, and Garmin may eventually log you out. You can prevent this by opening a new browser window and occasionally navigating around Garmin Connect.
11. Once you've finished your download just add the files to zip file and email it to: username@smashrunimport.com
    (If you have a ton of files then you may want to break them up into multiples zip files attached to separate emails)
