Combining Activities

L over 1 year ago

Hi!

So I did a run today but had to break it into two activities. However, now I want to combine those two activities. So, I exported them as fit files from Garmin Connect Web and then combined them using https://www.fitfiletools.com/#/combiner#view. But when I go to Garmin Connect Web to import the data, it tells me that the file is already on there. So I said view details and it brought me to the first activity of the two-activity run. Does this mean I have to delete those two activities off of Garmin Connect and then import the combined file?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, at least the first activity. One of the checks for duplication is based on time…

If you're scared, you can always backup the already uploaded activities, using "export original" from Garmin Connect Web.

Yes, at least the first activity. One of the checks for duplication is based on time of day. If there's already an activity that starts at the same exact time, the assumption is you've already uploaded it.

Ok, thanks so much for getting back! I'm scared to do it, but I think I will. :) Have a blessed day! I'll prolly add a comment after I do it just to say if it worked or not. :)

When I try to upload the combined fit file, it tells me that an error has occurred and to try again (which I did at least 5 times) even tho I've deleted both of the separate original activities off of Garmin Connect. Any suggestions? I used this (https://www.fitfiletools.com/#/combiner#view) to combine my two files.

Attach the activities you want combined to this thread. We can have a look to see what might be wrong.

Zip the files, then in a reply post Insert >> Image/video/file >> click Upload >> browse for file >> OK.
Or upload the fit file to a reputable file sharing service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, make the file public, then paste a link to the file in your post.
Or if you'd rather your activity remained private, you can send me a private message.

I was just able to get it to work using the GoToes file merger and uploaded it as a tcx, but thank you so much for your willingness to help!
