Hi everyone,
I use Runkeeper to track my runs (because I like that it tells me my average pace every mile), and then push them to Strava using RunGap.
I’ve noticed that on runs where I press pause during the run (e.g. if I’m stopped waiting for a traffic light), when I push the run from Runkeeper to Strava, the pace on Strava is significantly faster than on Runkeeper. Moreover, the longer I’m paused during the run, the larger the discrepancy is between the two.
When I do a run where I don’t stop at all, the times are exactly the same. If I only stop for a couple of seconds, usually the discrepancy is only a second or two per mile. But on runs where I need to stop for longer (e.g. if I’m running downtown and have to stop every couple blocks for traffic lights), the discrepancy can get quite large—I’ve had it as large as 50 seconds per mile on some runs. In every case, Strava shows me running faster than Runkeeper, and I know the Runkeeper pace is the correct one.
I’ve seen others bring up a similar issue when pushing runs from Apple Workout, but haven’t seen a solution for runs pushed from Runkeeper.
For what it’s worth, I keep auto-pause off on Strava, though that shouldn’t be a factor here since I’m not tracking the runs on Strava.
Device-wise, I use an Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) to track my runs.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
