My FIT file that I combined won't upload to Garmin Connect

Kbee 2 months ago

I did a workout in my coach plan and it registered as a normal run (despite having the correct thresholds and measurements ..I did it a day early I think was the problem)
SO I did the workout today for 2 secs, merged the two files and when I go to import the merged file it says "We don't support the file type you tried to import." then I cleaned the file using the a logger to fix the timestamp and I got "One of your files was not accepted by the system. Please contact Support for assistance.".

What can I do to get my run imported onto my planned activities?

With which tool? Did you remove both originals from GC before importing the merged file?

I have deleted the original run file now but upload is still failing - I am using www.fitfiletools.com/

I'm away from keyboard right know so I can't confirm, but when I take a glance at your file, it contains Split Summary messages, if my hypothesis is correct, the problem might be related to this message.

Split Summary must be unique for each split_type. If you try to combine them just appending the message, Garmin Connect will reject it.

I created a CLI app to combine FIT activity files that handle this kind of situation, hopefully it helps.

github.com/.../fitactivity

Usage:

fitactivity combine -out result.fit part1.fit part2.fit

I wasn't able to get this to work on my pc.. are you able to try combining my files for me to see if it works? :)

Are you just trying to change the date of the original activity from the 12th to the 13th?

0 Kbee 2 months ago in reply to seilogramp

heya, no I did my workout on the 12th but it didn't get linked to my plan. so other forums suggested to "start" the planned workout, stop it and save, and then merge the two files together to create the one FIT file that is linked to my plan but has my original running stats and course. The combined file is not loading into Garmin Import though.

Some older threads but might still work:

See post by RonHi - Garmin Coach not syncing with workouts
And post by 1368706 - Garmin coach not recognizing completed workout even though it shows up correctly as completed on my calendar?
And answer from Garmin-Kevin to reschedule the workout - Garmin coach not recognizing completed workout even though it shows up correctly as completed on my calendar?

Unfortunately changing the type of the workout didn't seem to resolve it. The workout is showing as a regular run in my calendar despite showing all of the criteria of my run from the plan? It's lost it links to the plan in the metadata I think so my only hope is to merge the two files I made together now but the combiner seems to be parsing something incorrectly that garmin won't recognise during import.. Bit frustrating you can't just do a run and add it to the plan to be considered for training as I wish I could do harder runs outside the plan and add them manually anyway..

Did you try the answer from Garmin-Kevin to reschedule?
