So got up early ready for my run. Back to normal route with a bit added on the end. Over the last couple of weeks my pace as been between 8.50 and 9.1 a lot faster than at the start but still slow. Making about 3.3k I completed by run felt I had run faster and a bit further but 5k av pace 6.01 pace no🙁 that can’t be right. Only just started to only record the running only time and really fed up I haven’t got a pace for the last but one run. I am using a Fitbit anyone else have issues?

My Fitbit did that, it gave me 33 minutes for 5k and I kinda knew it wasn’t right during the run as it’s a regular route. It registered 6.75km for a 5k route. I checked route on strava route planner and it’s not 6.75km. Changed to a Garmin 😬😳

Yes I think if I am going to continue with the running I need to upgrade to a better tracker
