Corrupt FIT File

Hi,

Yesterday at the end of my run my garmin (Forerunner 255S) ran out of battery as I was saving the run. I see the file on my garmin but it is not showing up in activities, training load etc on Connect.

It looks like the file is corrupted as when I try to manually upload the file to connect it fails.

[solved]

Looking for some assistance in fixing it
