Exporting Calibrated Treadmill Run from Garmin Connect Web to Strava Does not Work

My treadmill runs always have to be re-calibrated. After every run I calibrate on the watch and then, save it. The data shows up in Garmin connect correctly, but syncs to Strava using the old miscalibrated data.

I logged into Garmin Connect Web and it shows the correct data. So, I tried exporting the data from Garmin Connect Web (I tried all three file types: .fit. .gpx. and .tcx), then uploading to Strava manually.

Strava still shows the incorrect data, using the imported file!!

What gives?

Anyone else have this experience? Is there a workaround? All I can think of at this point is manually creating the activity from scratch.

Thanks!

I know this question is really old! But I built a tool for Garmin -> Strava users to fix this issue and a lot of people are already signed up and finding value in it if you want to check it out!!
