Using Runkeeper and Couch to 5K app.

I just wondered if anyone else uses the app version of C25K as well as the Runkeeper app. I used both together for the first time today and for the first time Runkeeper was totally inaccurate. I also have a GPS Garmin which recorded 2.21 miles at 13.4 min/mile (including the 10 min warmup/down) which is about right, Runkeeper recorded 1.31 miles at 22 min/miles! I wondered if the C25K app interfered with it somehow?
