Surely there has to be a way for Strava to be able to correct the distance of a run/ride.
Parkruns are always 5km, yet my bl00dy Garmin watch always records it as 4.9xkm. Surely the AI’s can recognise this and adjust the distance?
Similarly did a ride with my SO, she recorded on her phone and got 18.x km, my bl00dy Garmin watch gave me 16.x. The km markers indicate is was 20km.
Time to sort this out.
You could try the “Correct Distance” feature in the activity on the Strava website. It can be reverted in case the corrected distance is not to your liking. What the real distance was is always difficult to determine, official details can be wrong too. A recording device with multiband GPS is nearly the best source of what you can get in precision, maybe your Garmin watch has this option.
Course correction on my bike ride yesterday added about 250m, so still many km’s short.
