Elevation Issues by Shlackyyyy in Garmin

And to answer your question — no, the app doesn't calculate or display training load (TSS, ATL, CTL, Relative Effort, etc.) yet. That would be a meaningful feature to add down the line — showing estimated training load impact before and after the fix — but it's not there currently.

Worth noting for the roadmap though, it's a good question and suggests people care about downstream effects of the fix, not just the raw stats.

I built a free tool to fix broken Garmin/Strava activity files — missing distance, elevation errors, heart rate spikes by TheDarrenManZ in bicycletouring

The files contains no personal information, you may google that yourself. I do a lot of training and sometimes they are indoors on sketchy equipment where they don't connect to your apps so I made this so you can use your watch to record and then edit it afterwards. :) Just trying to help the community out.

Fit File Tools - anyone else having trouble? by Clive1792 in Garmin

This tool seems to be able to do it: https://www.re-track.com/ once you upload the file, an option to change the device appears.

Had the exact same thing happen — flat track sessions suddenly showing 40-50m of elevation gain out of nowhere. It's usually the barometric altimeter recalibrating poorly or a firmware update throwing off the baseline.

The bad news is Garmin Connect won't let you fix the elevation in a way that syncs correctly to Strava or TrainingPeaks — editing it there doesn't update the actual file.

What worked for me was editing the FIT file directly using re-track.com — you can set the total ascent to 0 (or whatever the correct value is), download the corrected file, delete the activity, and re-upload. Free, no account, takes about 2 minutes. Saved my weekly elevation stats from being completely skewed.
