Rode a group workout this morning. Saved the file with no issues… or so I thought. Computer didn’t crash and there was no dropout. It saved to my Zwift account, however, nothing uploaded to Training Peaks or Strava. When I downloaded the .fit file from Zwift and manually uploaded to TP&nbsp;and Strava, it said the file was malformed.

So I followed advice to fix it via&nbsp;[https://www.fitfiletools.com](https://www.fitfiletools.com/)&nbsp;- this restored some of the file but most of the data was still missing. Then I used&nbsp;[http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/](http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/)&nbsp;- no luck again.

I then found&nbsp;[http://fitfilerepairtool.info/](http://fitfilerepairtool.info/)&nbsp;which you have to pay for… I’m very reluctant to try it as worried it will fail again and would have wasted £32 in the licence fee.&nbsp;

Heres the file&nbsp;

Can anyone help me?

Tends to be a corrupt time for the most part.&nbsp; Try the linked file.

Hi Ray

Thank you for your help. However the file you saved was the same as when I tried - it cut out a lot of the data - see&nbsp;attached screenshots - my zwift activity vs the upload after fitfiletools&nbsp;

Thanks Ray - apparently this is much more in-depth and thorough:&nbsp;[http://fitfilerepairtool.info/](http://fitfilerepairtool.info/)&nbsp;but don’t want to risk buying if it doesn’t work… we’ve all got more important things in life&nbsp;that we should focus on…&nbsp;

True, like riding…
