Hey there, I've had exactly the same problem. I compared the TCX file of sessions I uploaded from iFit to Strava today versus one month ago and cannot notice any difference in the way elevation is recorded, which uses the XML tag "AltitudeMeters" as the last item in each track point.

This suggests that there is a parsing error or data ingestion failure on the Strava side.

I open the support ticket on this issue since elevation reporting was working just fine a few weeks ago. We'll see what they say...

Okay thank you, my last two sessions on the mat have been "supportive treatment" for several days and don't seem to complete the treatment.

Having the same issue for every iFit workout since 7/20. Hundreds of previous imports with no issue showing elevation. Also cannot spot any differences within the TCX files. 

Hi pbarcalow,

Have you received an answer from Strava? 

This is very frustrating to lose something that used to work fine just few weeks ago. 

Hope they can give you a clue.

Regards.

I've had a few emails back and forth with their support staff. Their first response asked for more information, So I gave them some old and new TCX files from iFit activities and links them the URL to this conversation here.

Their second supply was typical tier 1 treatment, saying they didn't see the issue and asked me if I knew how elevation gain worked.

I responded with more information, a screenshot, and gave them instructions on how they might be able to replicate the issue and compare to old activities on Strava. That was Friday.

It's Tuesday morning and I haven't heard back yet.

Thanks SamsaraTheGuide. Hope they will react in front of the frustration of many iFit users who like to sync properly their workouts on Strava (and pay for Premium services on Strava as well).

same thing here, tried both ways, the automatic sync and the manual upload with the 2 option file extensions from iFit, no elevation shows.

plus the default art that iFit post with their workouts is not showing too

this started to happen to me 2 weeks ago I believe 

so many resets and restarts 

Hi,

I have the same issue. In addition when I upload my iFit training to Garmin Connect it displays elevation data, so there must be some change in Strava parsing code.

This is really frustrating. Hope someone will fix it soon!

It’s working again … the auto sync with Strava gets the elevation now. But not the workout photo… it’s a progress towards a good thing I hope. 

I just uploaded my ifit training from tcx file and it did not work 😕😕

I did it again importing TCX file and nothing works unfortunately.

 that’s weird. Try the automatic sync. Link your strava to your ifit..

I have the same problem:

If I've upload an Indoor Cycling Activity with a FIT-File to Strava via API (https://www.strava.com/api/v3/uploads) the route details (latitude/longitude/evelation) are not displayed afterwards.
If I've upload the same file manually via Strava-Website, everything is fine.
If I use the tcx-file instead of the fit-file during the API-Upload everything is fine.

What's wrong here with the API-FIT-File-Upload?

Automatic sync only works if you pay for iFit, which is way more expensive than Strava. I upload my activities manually.

I got a response from Strava support this morning saying that the issue was resolved. But I'm not sure whether that was for auto uploads, manual, or both. I'll try this out as soon as I can.

In my tests, it's only solved for manual upload not for auto uploads (via API).

I just finished a run and no elevation with TCX file uploaded.

I will try a manual workout later on and keep you posted

I have a paid subscription Ifit, I did a manual workout today, 10 kilometers in inclination 6% (so 600 meters of elevation gain), but on Strava it does not display

I found the reason on our side (Indoor Cycling Software) for the ignored GPS-data (latitude, longitude and elevation). If we set the element FIT_SUB_SPORT_INDOOR_CYCLING, Strava will ignore all GPS-data, even if the "Sport_Type=VirtualRide" is set. From our point of view this is an error on Strava side which has to be fixed. In meantime, we remove this element for virtual rides.

Same issue is discussed here:

https://communityhub.strava.com/t5/strava-features-chat/no-elevation-gain-from-treadmill-shows-up/m-p/14375

Some change ob Stravas side must have happend from 20th to 21st July.

As I don't use an Ifit Premium membership only manual upload is possible for me (and most of the Users). Worked for hundreds of workouts before.

So far the Strava support team stopped replying on my support thread. Very frustrating.

Here's the last update I got from Strava Support:

Thanks for the update! Really hope it'll be fixed soon.

Today's training syncs automatically with Strava (I am a Premium iFit subscriber and Strava) but still no elevation...

Very frustrating.
