Light-Weight-Baby-Strava-Renamer

Are you tired of boring Strava activity names like "Lunch Run" or "Evening hike"?

Well, look no further. This Google Apps Script automatically renames your Strava activities in Ronnie Coleman style.

New activity name is a combination of words from two lists of strings. It avoids renaming the same activity more than once. Lists:

const listOne = ["Oooh", "Yeah", "Yep", "Light Weight", "Pow", "Let's Gooo", "Gotta Get Good", "Come On"];
const listTwo = ["Buddy", "Baby"];

Steps to Set Up the Script

1. Authenticate with the Strava API

• Go to the Strava Developers Portal.
• Create a new application and generate your API credentials.
• Obtain initial 'refresh_token' by authorizing your application via OAuth 2.0 for API access. Importat, you'll need the following permissions: read,activity:read,activity:write
