Sync distance between Fitbit and Runkeeper

Currently Fitbit syncs steps and calories only to Runkeeper.com.

 

I think it would be great if distance (km/miles) could be synced too. Distance is calculated, so the data is there.

I wish that most training information is synchronized between Runkeeper and Fitbit. There I train is added to the Fitbit so it can be deducted from my calories.

Forgive me, but how hard can this be really ??

I'm a new Fitbit user for a couple of days now and I love it!

Just a sec, need to take some steps to complete my hourly activity 🙂

I've made the connection with runkeeper but notice that it only syncs the daily step activity, sleep ect.

It doesn't sync the excersises (if implemented please add heartrate data!) I performed with my fitbit which is really a pity and the only reason why I wanted to sync with runkeeper as this was my excersise tracker before the fitbit era.

Hope this gets implemented anytime soon.

Keep up the good work guys!

Runkeeper developers would be able to integrate with us by using our Activity & Exercise Logs Web API.

Would it be possible to only sync the exercises to RunKepper and not the calorie and step count? I recently noticed that not only the exercises are displayed in the RunKeeper feed, but also the calorie and step count and I don't want to share that data with friends.
