Converting Garmin Activity Files directly to Garmin's Training Center XML Files (.fit to .tcx conversion) is quite straightforward. The Garmin Training Center app allows users to save their own recorded activity files (.fit) to Garmin's XML-based database format (.tcx). This is typically attempted for data exchange purposes between apps and/or devices.

You might also try one of the various web-based conversion tools, such as the Fit Viewer Tool (by Runalyze). This utility was specifically designed for converting Garmin data; such as the .fit to .tcx conversion.

Understanding FIT and TCX file formats

The FIT (Flexible and Interoperable Data Transfer) file format is a proprietary format developed by Garmin for storing fitness data. It is widely used in fitness devices to record activities such as running, cycling, and swimming. FIT files are compact and designed to efficiently store large amounts of data.

The TCX (Training Center XML) file format is an XML-based format also developed by Garmin. It is used to store fitness data and is compatible with various fitness applications. TCX files are more human-readable compared to FIT files and are often used for sharing workout data between different platforms.
