Strava had a funny turn

Strava managed to turn a slow 5k jog into a 60k marathon. The analysis was even more nuts. It reckons I ran for 12 hours, and my fastest split was 46 seconds a kilometre.

Once I got over all that, I found that the app that links to my watch told a more believable tale. 5k, 8.49 average pace.

Actually quite happy with that. But with the Strava recording it will be a while before I get a PB on that fastest kilometre...🤣

Well done on your 12 hour run and a 46sec/km 😂😂😂👏👏👏

I reckon you slipped into a wormhole, or jumped into a parallel universe 😁

Heard a lot of bad press regarding Strava but cannot comment as I've never used it 😂

I sometimes had issues directly recording with Strava, but since uploading from my Garmin it's been fine

Strava sometimes annoyingly truncates either my distance, time or both! Didn’t have any issues using it to record, other than the fact that it made my route a bit wobbly on the map!

Haha, ah well, that blows my theory out of the water then 😂

Obviously just a glitch in the space time continuum. I expect that Strava was slightly out of phase 😂. Well done for your 5K! Hope you enjoyed it as ever! 👏👏👏👍

In fact, once the hill at the start was out of the way, it was relatively effortless and enjoyable.

What's the speed limit locally? You just did 49mph. 🤣
