These splits must be a glitch right? My normal pace per km is in the 5.5-6.5 km/h zone. I can't see how I ran a km in the middle of the run so much faster than usual without even really realising?! How could that even happen?

Must have done. Genuinely bemused by that. Felt like I was working hard on bits of that run, but not really that I was going fast. It was a strange one. Not my usual time of day and a few boggy bits on the woods. Bizarre.

I got into my car one day after doing a parkrun whilst forgetting to press stop on my Garmin Watch, So it was still recording. I drove home again afterwards recording my fastest 10K. :-) You must have jumped into a Sports Car for lap 2 and 3. :-)

That is what is so strange right? I didn't stop, didn't get in a car, but the pace in the middle rather improbable
