Training Peaks - Unable to parse file
I have previously been able to use your tools to convert Peloton data (downloaded from Strava) so that it was able to uploaded to Training Peaks -- it worked fine for my last Peloton ride 11/5/2020 (I use that bike very infrequently) but was unsuccessful 12/25/2020. Error uploading to Training Peaks said "Unable to parse file". Any assistance or guidance would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Re: Training Peaks - Unable to parse file
A number of users have contacted me in the last month about Training Peaks not accepting the TCX export from our tool. One user even went so far as to contact Training Peaks about this issue, and they wrote back saying that "decimals" are not an accepted part of the TCX file format. Of course, coordinates are in decimals, so that is not the reason why they are not accepting the TCX export. Training Peaks did accept TCX files from this tool about a month ago, and I haven't changed the TCX export format - so I expect that the change was on their end.
Meanwhile, it appears that Training Peaks does accept files exported in the FIT and GPX format. I spent a lot of time curating the FIT export to work with Training Peaks. Hopefully they will fix the TCX issue, but in the meantime, please use FIT or GPX export from GOTOES | Strava Tools if you are exporting to Training Peaks. Feel free to contact me if you find something that I can change within the TCX export.
