I used this method to help a friend just yesterday, posted elsewhere by a former CRer.
I found a workaround if you don't have a cookie on your machine that remembered your login information. I'm not sure how long they will work for - I assume Active will shut these backdoors pretty quickly to lock you into their site.
I just exported 5 years worth of data - glad it is still there. I had set coolrunning to remember my login information, so I did not need to specify my password and simply got my data by only specifying my username. However, once I cleared my cookies and tried to login using the approach mentioned I could no longer log in.
But, I found another workaround, it is a two step process that should work for any one who remembers their username and password.
In the URLs below, substitute USERNAME by your user name, and PASSWORD by the password you used on coolrunning.
First you have to go through the login process: http://www.coolrunning.com/cgi-bin/register/start_prefs.cgi?UserName=USERNAME&Password=PASSWORD&goAction=login
After the log in you will be redirected to the coolrunning home page, but now your login information has been remembered, and you can get to your old training log by going to:
http://www.coolrunning.com/cgi-bin/log/display.cgi?u=USERNAME
Then go to Tools and use the Download Your Running Log option to save your data (after saving this file, you can open it with excel).
It worked great! |
