Speed variance between apps.

I was interested to read the post regarding Apple Watch and Strava.

As a recent graduate, I have been using Runkeeper and MapMyRun to decide which to subscribe to.

I have noticed that there is always a difference between them with regard to my average pace.

Runkeeper usually records my pace as about 10% faster than MapMyRun.

Has anybody else found this?

Thank you.

Different apps sample GPS at different rates and have different averaging methods. This is normal.
