Corrupt FIT file

Hello,

I seem to have a corrupt FIT file from a run today. It was actually the only activity on my device, so I don't think it's a storage issue. The summary on the watch itself has the right stats, but the file won't upload to strava. Would anybody be able to help?

Thanks very much,

Paul

Avoid pressing stop or pause during an 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.
Check for firmware updates using Garmin Express.
