Garmin Fit File Corrupted

I'm having trouble repairing the corrupted fit file from my run so I can upload to Strava. I've tried the online repair tools but no luck - it doesn't let me upload my file. Is anyone able to help repair this? I'll try regularly clearing my watch's memory to prevent this from happening in the future.

It was my longest ever long run and I'd love to be able to see the map and how I did!

Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help repair it.

This will work - [solved]

Fixed using Fit File Repair Tool

Some suggestions to help minimize the occurrence of corrupt fit files on a Forerunner 35

Avoid excessive stopping or pausing during the activity
Sync your watch, backup the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder, then do a full master reset of your Forerunner 35 using these directions - Restoring All Default Settings
Perform a weekly cleanup of the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder using these directions - Removing Recorded Activities to Free Up Space. The F35 seems to have problems with longer activities, so this step is important before a longer event
Regularly check for firmware updates using Garmin Express
Let us know when you encounter corrupted files again
