Corrupt fit file

Is anyone able to help me fix my fit file from my run this morning? I've been looking around google but there doesn't seem to be a lot of options for MAC users out there that I can find. This is the first time this has happened to one of my activities so I'm at a loss on how to fix it.

Thanks!

You can try using FIT File Tools, using the section remover without any adjustments. The result can then be uploaded to Garmin Connect Web using the Import Data page

If unsuccessful, attach it to this thread. We can look to see if it is repairable.

Zip the file, then in a reply post Insert >> Image/video/file >> click Upload >> browse for file >> OK.
Or upload the fit file to a file sharing service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., make the file public, then paste a link to the file in your post.

I was able to only recover less than half the run, I don't know if I lost GPS signal part way through or what. Maybe you'll have better luck?

Sync your watch, backup the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder, then do a full master reset of your FR35 using these directions - Restoring All Default Settings
Add a weekly cleanup procedure of the ACTIVITY folder to your agenda using these directions - Removing Recorded Activities to Free Up Space
