Exporting all your Strava segment times to one table

Is there any way (most likely through a third party site) that lest you build a table of all the segments you have times for on Strava and your place on the overall leaderboard? Something like this

Place Percentage Name Length Elevation Av speed Watts
2/133 2% Abbey Wood Hill 0.2mi 43ft 13.4mi/h 204W

The reason is not for bragging, but for finding out which segments need targeting - it motivates me to be in the top X% of all segments I regularly ride and while it can be done by hand, it takes too long!

    If you target all the strava segments on your rides you will basically be riding flat out everywhere. This is not going to be sensible or achievable for most.

    If you target specific ones on a given ride, you will end up yow yowing your heart rate and waste energy overall.

    IMO it is better to set other objectives from your riding and take any segment improvements as a pure side line benefit of the overall experience.

    Far too may folk out there putting far too much emphasis on strava KOMS. If it floats your boat then fair enough I suppose.

    Going deep into the red on intermittent Strava segments may be better fitness training than riding steadily at tempo/threshold. The motivation given by a segment has more appeal to me than rigid interval training using lamp posts and a watch.

    FTFY :D

    +1. Veloviewer also produces nice diagrams of the climbs with sections colour coded by gradient. Bit of a gimmick really but strangely compelling.

    The idea was more to give myself an idea of where I stand as a cyclist - e.g. am I a punchy climber, TT, sprinter etc. It turns out I'm in the "slow" category but it's good to have evidence!
    And it is also for (randomised) interval training - rather than just cruising the commute I would like to have some harder secions and some easier ones.
