Corrupt fit file

Hello,

My data from my 10 mile run seems to have have some incorrect data in it and will not upload to Garmin Connect. I tried FitFileTool but it shortened my run and changed my mile splits considerably. I was wondering if someone could take a look and see if they can find the error and fix. Also wondering if this is something that in the future I could potentially learn to do myself? This issue seems to happening more often with this watch (5 year old Garmin Forerunner 35 ) but, I am not ready to invest in a new watch just yet.

Please Find attached file link below .

Thanks in Advance ,

Heather
